1. What Nilotinib is and what it is used for

What Nilotinib is

Nilotinib is a medicine that contains the active substance nilotinib.

What Nilotinib is used for

Nilotinib is used to treat a type of cancer called chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in adults and children. CML is a disease in which the bone marrow produces too many abnormal white blood cells.

How Nilotinib works

In patients with CML, there is a change in the DNA (genetic material) that leads to a signal that causes the bone marrow to produce too many abnormal white blood cells. Nilotinib blocks this signal and prevents the production of these abnormal cells.

Monitoring while taking Nilotinib

During treatment, regular blood tests will be performed to monitor:

  • the number of blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) in the body to assess how well Nilotinib is tolerated.
  • the function of the pancreas and liver in the body to assess how well Nilotinib is tolerated.
  • the level of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium) in the body, which are important for heart function.
  • the level of sugar and fats in the blood.

The heart rate will also be monitored using a device that measures the electrical activity of the heart (a test called an ECG).

The doctor will regularly assess the results of the treatment and decide whether the patient should continue taking Nilotinib. If the patient is told to stop taking Nilotinib, the doctor will continue to monitor the patient's CML and may recommend that the patient restart Nilotinib if necessary.

2. What you need to know before you take Nilotinib

Follow the doctor's instructions carefully. They may differ from the general information in this leaflet.

When not to take Nilotinib

  • if you are allergic to nilotinib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, tell your doctor before taking Nilotinib.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Nilotinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist:

  • if you have ever had heart problems, such as a heart attack, angina, or stroke, or if you have risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high levels of fats in the blood.
  • if you have an irregular heartbeat or other heart problems.
  • if you are taking medicines that lower cholesterol or affect the heart.
  • if you have low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood.
  • if you have liver or pancreas problems.
  • if you have symptoms such as easy bruising, tiredness, or shortness of breath.
  • if you have had surgery to remove your stomach.
  • if you have ever had hepatitis B infection. This is because Nilotinib may cause the hepatitis B virus to become active again, which can be life-threatening.

While taking Nilotinib:

  • if you experience fainting or irregular heartbeat, tell your doctor immediately, as this may be a sign of a serious heart problem.
  • if you experience sudden pain, weakness, or paralysis, tell your doctor immediately, as this may be a sign of a serious condition called tumour lysis syndrome.

Tumour lysis syndrome is a condition that can occur when cancer cells die quickly. It can cause serious problems, such as kidney damage.

  • if you experience pain or discomfort in the chest, numbness or weakness, difficulty walking or speaking, pain, discoloration, or coldness in a limb, tell your doctor immediately, as this may be a sign of a serious heart or blood vessel problem.
  • if you experience swelling of the feet or hands, general swelling, or rapid weight gain, tell your doctor, as this may be a sign of a serious condition called fluid retention.

Children and adolescents

Nilotinib is used to treat CML in children and adolescents. There is limited experience with the use of Nilotinib in children under 2 years of age. There is also limited experience with the use of Nilotinib in children under 10 years of age with newly diagnosed CML and in children under 6 years of age who have stopped responding to previous CML treatment.

Some children and adolescents taking Nilotinib may grow more slowly than normal. The doctor will monitor growth during regular visits.

Nilotinib with other medicines

Nilotinib may affect the way other medicines work.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking, including those you have bought without a prescription.

  • medicines for irregular heartbeat (anti-arrhythmics)
  • medicines that may affect the heart, such as chloroquine, halofantrine, clarithromycin, haloperidol, methadone, moxifloxacin
  • medicines for infections, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin
  • ritonavir (a medicine for HIV infection)
  • medicines for epilepsy, such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin
  • rifampicin (a medicine for tuberculosis)
  • St. John's Wort (a herbal medicine for depression)
  • midazolam (a medicine for sedation before surgery)
  • alfentanil and fentanyl (medicines for pain relief and sedation before and during surgery or medical procedures)
  • medicines that suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporin, sirolimus, and tacrolimus, which are used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, such as liver, heart, and kidney
  • medicines for dementia, such as dihydroergotamine and ergotamine
  • medicines for high levels of fats in the blood, such as lovastatin and simvastatin
  • warfarin (a medicine for blood clotting problems)
  • astemizole, terfenadine, cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, bepridil, or ergot alkaloids (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine)

Do not take these medicines while taking Nilotinib. If you are taking any of these medicines, your doctor may prescribe different medicines.

If you are taking a statin (a medicine to lower cholesterol), talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Nilotinib may increase the risk of muscle problems when taken with certain statins, which can rarely lead to serious muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis) that can cause kidney damage.

Also, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any medicines that reduce stomach acid, such as antacids.

The following medicines should be taken separately from Nilotinib:

  • histamine H2-receptor antagonists, which reduce stomach acid production. Take these medicines about 10 hours before and about 2 hours after taking Nilotinib.
  • antacids, which neutralize stomach acid. Take these medicines about 2 hours before or about 2 hours after taking Nilotinib.

Tell your doctor if you are already taking Nilotinib and a new medicine is prescribed that has not been taken with Nilotinib before.

Taking Nilotinib with food and drink

Do not take Nilotinib with food.Food can increase the absorption of Nilotinib and increase the risk of side effects.

Do not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit. They can increase the level of Nilotinib in the blood, which can increase the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding
