ℹ️ 1. What Jaypirca is and what it is used for
Jaypirca is a cancer medicine that contains the ac tive substance pirtobrutinib. It belongs to a class of medicines called Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.
It is used on its own (monotherapy) to treat the following blood cancers in adult patients :
- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) . MCL is an aggressive (fast growing) cancer of a type of white blood cell called B- cells. B-cells are part of the immune system (the body’s natural defences).
This medicine is used in patients who have been previously treated with another BTK inhibitor when the cancer has come back (relapsed) , or previous treatment has not worked (refractory).
- Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): a type of cancer affecting white blood cells called lymphocytes. This medicine is used in patients who have not previously been treated for CLL or when the cancer has come back (relapsed), or previous treatment has not worked (refractory).
How Jaypirca works
Jaypirca works by blocking BTK, a protein in the body that helps MCL and CLL cells grow and survive. By blocking BTK, Jaypirca helps to kill these cells and can reduce the ir number, which can slow down the worsening of the cancer.
