Bortezomib-Promomed, a drug used for the treatment of multiple myeloma*, received a registration certificate. It is also prescribed to patients with mantle cell lymphoma** who experience disease progression after several courses of treatment.
Bortezomib is a modified boric acid and is a proteasome inhibitor***. The mechanism of action of the drug is to accelerate the process of protein breakdown and regulate their intracellular concentrations. Since cancer cells are sensitive to the effects of bortezomib, this leads to their death or the cessation of their growth in the future. Studies have shown that bortezomib causes internal dysfunction in a large number of tumor cell types and causes delayed tumor growth, including multiple myeloma.
The development and production of medicines aimed at the treatment of major critical diseases, including oncohematological diseases, is one of the most important strategic directions in the work of Promomed Group, focused on solving significant medical problems, saving and significantly improving the quality of life of patients.
Bortezomib-Promomed, which is included in the list of VED, will be available in the form of a lyophilizate for the preparation of a solution for intravenous and subcutaneous administration in a dosage of 2.5 to 3.5 mg, which corresponds to standard intake regimens.
*Myeloma is a form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a blood oncopathology that affects flat bones, spine, and kidneys and leads to serious immune disorders.
**Mantle cell lymphoma is a malignant tumor of B-lymphocytes, cells of the immune system. It refers to the so-called non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, when a malignant tumor occurs not only in the lymph nodes, but also in the tonsils, spleen and other organs of our immune system.
***Proteasomes are enzymes that are found in all cells and play an important role in cell function and growth.
