0.00$
Acalabrutinib, possibly marketed as “Acalabrutinib,” is a targeted cancer therapy used primarily for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in adults who have undergone prior therapy, as well as for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The typical dosage is 100mg taken orally every 12 hours until disease progression or unacceptable side effects. It can also be used in combination with Obinutuzumab for previously untreated CLL or SLL patients. The capsules should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or broken. Caution is advised for use during pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. Each box contains 60 capsules.
Acalabrutinib 100 mg is a small morculin cloth from Brutons Tyrosinkinase (BTK), an enzyme involved in the signal path of B cells. It is primarily used to treat certain types of blood cancers, particularly B-cell malignant tumors. Acarabrutinib is sold under the brand name Calquence and is available as a 100 mg oral capsule. Drugs block BTK and reduce the survival and proliferation of malignant B cells. Compared to older BTK inhibitors, it provides improved selectivity and reduced offact effect.
