1. What Zydelig is and what it is used for

Zydelig is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance idelalisib. It works by blocking the effects of an enzyme involved in the proliferation and survival of certain white blood cells called lymphocytes. Since this enzyme is overactive in certain malignant white blood cells, blocking it enables Zydelig to kill tumor cells and reduce their number.

Zydelig can be used to treat two different cancers in adults:

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cells known as B-lymphocytes. In this disease, B-lymphocytes multiply too rapidly and live too long, resulting in excessive numbers circulating in the blood.

In CLL, Zydelig is used in combination with another medicine (rituximab) in patients who have certain high-risk factors or in patients whose cancer has not responded after at least one prior anticancer treatment.

Follicular lymphoma

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cells called B-lymphocytes. In this disease, B-lymphocytes multiply too rapidly and live too long, leading to an excessive accumulation in the lymph nodes.

In FL, Zydelig is used as monotherapy in patients whose cancer has not responded after two prior anticancer treatments.

2. What you should know before taking Zydelig

Do not take Zydelig

  • if you are allergic to idelalisib or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). Consult your doctor if this condition applies to you.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before taking Zydelig. Inform your doctor:

  • if you have liver problems
  • if you have other illnesses (especially infections or fever)

Severe and life-threatening infections have occurred in patients taking Zydelig.
While taking Zydelig, you will need to take an additional medicine prescribed by your doctor 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 with fever, cough, or difficulty
breathing) while taking Zydelig.
Contact your doctor immediately if you or someone else notices in you: memory loss, reasoning problems, difficulty walking, or loss of vision. These may be symptoms of a very rare and serious brain infection that can be fatal (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML).
Before and during treatment with Zydelig, regular blood tests will be performed. These tests are necessary to check whether you have an infection, to ensure your liver is functioning properly, and to monitor your blood cell counts (full blood count). If necessary, your doctor may decide to temporarily interrupt treatment before restarting it at the same or a lower dose. Your doctor may also decide to permanently discontinue treatment with Zydelig.
Zydelig can cause severe diarrhea. Inform your doctor immediately at the first sign of diarrhea.
Zydelig can cause inflammation of the lungs. Inform your doctor immediately:

  • if you develop a cough or if your cough worsens
  • if you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Severe skin disorders with blistering, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported in association with idelalisib treatment. Stop taking idelalisib and contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of the symptoms described in section 4.
Inform your doctor immediately:

  • if you develop redness and blistering of the skin
  • if you experience swelling and blistering of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and/or eyes

Laboratory tests may show an increase in white blood cells (called "lymphocytes") during the first weeks of treatment. This effect is expected and may last for several months. Generally, this does not mean that your blood cancer is worsening. Your doctor will check your blood count before and during treatment with Zydelig and, in rare cases, may need to prescribe another medicine. Consult your doctor to understand the meaning of your blood test results.
Children and adolescents
Do not give this medicine to children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as it has not been studied in this age group.
