What is Ixazomib?
Ixazomib (trade name Ninlaro) is a drug for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a type of white blood cell cancer, in combination with other drugs. It is taken by mouth in form of capsules.
How does Ixazomib work?
Ninlaro (ixazomib) is the first and only oral proteasome inhibitor. Both normal cells and cancer cells contain proteasomes, enzyme complexes that break down damaged and unwanted proteins into smaller components. These smaller components are then used to create new proteins required by the cell. Proteasomes can be thought of as crucial to the cell’s “recycling” of proteins. Myeloma cells are particularly sensitive to proteasome inhibition. When their protein recycling system is shut down, myeloma cells die.
