Zydelig is a cancer medication that contains the active ingredient idelalisib. It works by blocking the effects of an enzyme that participates in the multiplication and survival of certain white blood cells called lymphocytes. Since this enzyme is excessively activated in certain cancerous white blood cells, by blocking it, Zydelig will eliminate cancer cells and reduce their number.

Zydelig can be used for the treatment of two different types of cancer in adults:

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes B. In this disease, the lymphocytes multiply too quickly and live too long, so there are too many circulating in the blood.

In CLL, Zydelig treatment is used in combination with another medication (rituximab) in patients with certain high-risk factors or in patients whose cancer has recurred after at least one previous treatment.

Follicular Lymphoma

Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes B. In follicular lymphoma, the lymphocytes B multiply too quickly and live too long, so there are too many in the lymph nodes. In FL, Zydelig is used alone in patients whose cancer has not responded to two previous cancer treatments.

Do not take Zydelig

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Zydelig.Inform your doctor:

• if you have liver problems
• if you have any other disease or condition (especially an infection or fever)

Severe and fatal infections have occurred in patients treated with Zydelig. You will be given an additional medication by your doctor while taking Zydelig to prevent a certain type of infection. Your doctor will monitor you for signs of infection. Inform your doctor immediately if you become ill (especially if you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing) while taking Zydelig.

Inform your doctor immediately if you notice or someone notices in you: memory loss, confusion, difficulty walking, or loss of vision – these may be due to a rare but severe and potentially life-threatening brain infection (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML).

You will need to have blood tests periodicallybefore and during treatment withZydelig. This is to check that you do not have an infection, that your liver is working correctly, and that your blood counts are normal. If necessary, your doctor may decide to suspend treatment for some time, before restarting it at the same dose or a lower dose. Your doctor may also decide to suspend treatment with Zydelig permanently.

Zydelig can cause severe diarrhea. Inform your doctor immediately at the first sign of diarrhea.

Zydelig can cause lung inflammation. Inform your doctor immediately:

• if you have a new cough or worsening of a cough
• if you have shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Severe skin blistering has been reported in some people treated with Zydelig while also receiving other medications known to cause these potentially life-threatening conditions. Skin blistering can also affect the lining of the mouth, genitals, and/or eyes. Skin peeling can cause a severe infection. Inform your doctor immediately:

• if you develop redness and blistering of the skin
• if you develop swelling and blistering of the lining of the mouth, genitals, and/or eyes

Laboratory tests may show an increase in white blood cells (called "lymphocytes") in the blood in the first few weeks of treatment. This is predictable and may last for months, and usually does not mean that your blood cancer is getting worse. Your doctor will review blood counts before treatment or during treatment with Zydelig and in rare cases may need to give you another medication. Discuss the meaning of test results with your doctor.
