6.Contents of the package and additional information

This medication contains the active ingredient bortezomib, a “proteasome inhibitor”. Proteasomes play an important role in controlling the functioning and growth of cells. Bortezomib can destroy cancer cells, interfering with their functioning.

Bortezomibis used in the treatment of multiple myeloma (a bone marrow cancer) in patients aged 18 years or older:

- alone or in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or dexamethasone, for patients whose disease is worsening (in progression) after receiving at least one previous treatment and for those patients whose stem cell transplant did not work or is not suitable.

- in combination with melphalan and prednisone, for patients whose disease has not been previously treated and who are not suitable to receive high doses of chemotherapy prior to a stem cell transplant.

- in combination with dexamethasone or dexamethasone with thalidomide, in patients whose disease has not been previously treated and who are receiving high doses of chemotherapy prior to a stem cell transplant (induction treatment).

Bortezomibis used in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (a type of cancer that affects lymph nodes) in patients aged 18 years or older in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone, in patients whose disease has not been previously treated and for those patients who are not considered suitable for a stem cell transplant.

No use Bortezomib Waverley

• if you are allergic to bortezomib, boron, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6),
• if you have certain serious lung or heart problems.

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of the following:

• low red or white blood cell count
• bleeding problems and/or low platelet count in the blood
• diarrhea, constipation, nausea, or vomiting
• history of fainting, dizziness, or drowsiness
• kidney problems
• mild to severe liver problems
• numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands or feet (neuropathy) in the past
• heart problems or high blood pressure

• seizures
• shingles (localized, including around the eyes, or widespread)
• symptoms of tumor lysis syndrome, such as muscle cramps, muscle weakness, confusion, loss or changes in vision, and difficulty breathing
• memory loss, changes in thought, difficulty walking, or loss of vision. These may be signs of a severe brain infection, and your doctor may recommend further testing and follow-up.

You will need to have regular blood tests before and during treatment with bortezomib to check your blood cell count.

Inform your doctor if you have multiple myeloma and are receiving rituximab in combination with bortezomib:

• if you think you currently have or have had hepatitis in the past. In a few cases, patients who have had hepatitis B may experience repeated episodes of hepatitis, which can be fatal. If you have a history of hepatitis B, you will be closely monitored by your doctor to detect signs of active hepatitis B.

Before starting treatment with bortezomib, read the prospectuses of all medications you are using in combination with bortezomib to consult the information related to these medications. When using thalidomide, special attention should be paid to pregnancy testing and prevention measures (see Pregnancy and Breastfeeding in this section).

Bortezomib should not be used in children and adolescents because its effects on them are unknown.

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Some side effects can be serious.

If you are given bortezomib for multiple myeloma or mantle cell lymphoma, tell your doctor right away if you notice any of the following symptoms:
