BEERSE, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Data from the investigational, randomised, multi-centre, open-label Phase 3 RESONATETM-2 (PCYC-1115) trial show ibrutinib (IMBRUVICA®) was superior to chlorambucil in all efficacy endpoints measured in patients with treatment-na"ive chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) aged 65 or older, Janssen-Cilag International NV announced today. Kamagra (Sildenafil Citrate) without prescription Ibrutinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), the study’s primary endpoint, and overall survival (OS), a key secondary endpoint, and also improved other haematologic measures. Buy Neggram (Nalidixic Acid) with no prescription Notably, ibrutinib was associated with a 98 percent OS rate versus 85 percent for chlorambucil at 24 months. Proventil (Albuterol) without prescription These data will be included in a presentation today during the official press programme at the 2015 American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting in Orlando, FL, U.S. Buy Infiniair with free prescription and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.1 IMBRUVICA is co-developed by Cilag GmbH International, a member of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies, and Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company. Caverta (Sildenafil Citrate) with no prescription Janssen affiliates market IMBRUVICA in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) as well as the rest of the world, except for the United States, where Janssen Biotech, Inc. Buy Histidine online and Pharmacyclics LLC co-market it. These data will be presented in full by RESONATE-2 study investigator Alessandra Tedeschi, M.D., Medical Director, Azienda Ospedaliera Niguarda Ca Granda, Milan, Italy, during the “CLL: Therapy, Excluding Transplantation: Upfront CLL Therapy Excluding Transplantation” session on Monday, December 7, at 7:30am Eastern Time (ET) / 1.30pm Central European Time (CET). "The RESONATE-2 trial is ground-breaking as the first randomised Phase 3 trial of B-cell receptor antagonist, ibrutinib, in previously untreated CLL,” said Professor Peter Hillmen, Haematology, St. http://doctor-consult.blogspot.com James’s University Hospital, Leeds, who is an investigator in the RESONATE-2 clinical trial. “The results of RESONATE-2 are impressive. The improvement in progression free survival for ibrutinib in front-line treatment compared to chlorambucil is statistically significant. The improvement in overall survival for ibrutinib compared to chlorambucil even with a pre-planned cross-over to ibrutinib is unexpected. This indicates that the best outcomes will be achieved with ibrutinib when it is used as the initial therapy in patients with CLL." The Independent Review Committee (IRC) found ibrutinib significantly prolonged PFS compared with chlorambucil. The hazard ratio (HR) was 0.16 (95 percent CI, 0.09-0.28; P<0.001), which represents a reduction in the risk of progression or death by 84 percent versus chlorambucil (median not reached vs. 18.9 months); the PFS rate at 18 months was 90 percent for ibrutinib versus 52 percent for chlorambucil. Ibrutinib also significantly prolonged OS (HR=0.16: 95 percent CI, 0.05, 0.56; P=0.001) with a 24-month survival rate of 98 percent, compared to 85 percent for patients in the chlorambucil arm. Additionally, ibrutinib was associated with a significantly higher ORR (86 percent vs. 35 percent; P<0.001) as assessed by the IRC and significantly increased the rate of sustained improvements in both haemoglobin and platelets.1 “RESONATE-2 is the first Phase 3 head-to-head trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib monotherapy versus traditional chemotherapy in patients with treatment-na"ive CLL. The strength of these data may very well represent a turning point in the treatment of CLL/SLL and change when it may be appropriate to treat these patients with ibrutinib,” said Jane Griffiths, Company Group Chairman, Janssen Europe, Middle East and Africa. “We continue to see positive results with ibrutinib, and it is particularly exciting to see the extent of new data at ASH, demonstrating our commitment to exploring ibrutinib use for those who could most benefit from it, and our growing haematology offering.” The safety of ibrutinib in this patient population was consistent with previously reported studies. It is worth noting that exposure to treatment and adverse event (AE) follow-up was nearly 2.5 times longer for ibrutinib compared with chlorambucil and 87 percent of patients randomised to ibrutinib were still on therapy at the time of analysis. Overall, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were less frequent with ibrutinib than with chlorambucil (nine percent vs. 23 percent, respectively). The most common AEs (>=20 percent) of any Grade in the RESONATE-2 trial for ibrutinib were diarrhoea (42 percent), fatigue (30 percent), cough (22 percent) and nausea (22 percent); AEs for chlorambucil included nausea (39 percent), fatigue (38 percent), neutropenia (23 percent) and vomiting (20 percent). Hypertension occurred at a higher rate in the ibrutinib arm (14 percent; Grade 3 in four percent, no Grade 4 or 5). All six patients with Grade 3 hypertension were managed with hypertensive medication and did not require ibrutinib dose reduction or discontinuation. Four ibrutinib patients experienced Grade 3 haemorrhage and one experienced Grade 4 haemorrhage.1 Atrial fibrillation occurred in eight patients (six percent) in the ibrutinib arm and was primarily Grade 2 in six patients and Grade 3 in two patients. It was managed with discontinuation in two patients and without a dose modification in remaining patients. There were three deaths in the ibrutinib arm and 17 deaths on the chlorambucil arm over the median follow-up of 18.4 months. None of the patients who progressed on the ibrutinib arm died during the subsequent follow-up period.1 RESONATE-2 is a Pharmacyclics-sponsored trial and is the second Phase 3 study demonstrating a significant benefit of ibrutinib vs. a comparator.2,3 The trial enrolled 269 patients with CLL/SLL aged 65 years or older without prior treatment in the U.S., EU and other regions. CLL patients with deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 (del 17p CLL) were excluded from the trial as single-agent chlorambucil is not recognised as an appropriate therapy in this patient population. Patients were randomised to receive either ibrutinib 420 mg orally, once daily until progression or toxicity or chlorambucil 0.5 to 0.8 mg/kg on days one and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles. The primary endpoint of the study was PFS as assessed by an IRC according to the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (iWCLL) 2008 criteria, with modification for treatment-related lymphocytosis. Key secondary endpoints included ORR, OS, rate of haematologic improvement and safety.1 The RESONATE-2 results are the basis for a Type II variation application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), seeking to broaden the existing marketing authorisation for IMBRUVICA to include previously untreated patients with CLL, which was which was announced on November 3, 2015. More information about the study can be found on .clinicaltrials.gov. About IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib) Ibrutinib is a first-in-class Bruton s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, which works by forming a strong covalent bond with BTK to block the transmission of cell survival signals within the malignant B cells.4 By blocking this BTK protein, ibrutinib helps kill and reduce the number of cancer cells. It also slows down the worsening of the cancer.5 Ibrutinib is approved in Europe for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), or adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) who have received at least one prior therapy, or in first line patients with CLL in the presence of 17p deletion or TP53 mutation in patients unsuitable for chemo-immunotherapy;6 it is also approved for adult patients with Waldenstr"om’s macroglobulinemia (WM) who have received at least one prior therapy, or in first line treatment for patients unsuitable for chemo-immunotherapy;6 regulatory approval for additional uses has not yet been granted. Investigational uses for ibrutinib, alone and in combination with other treatments, are under way in several blood cancers including CLL, MCL, WM, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), multiple myeloma (MM) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Ibrutinib is co-developed by Cilag GmbH International, a member of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies, and Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company. Janssen affiliates market ibrutinib in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) as well as the rest of the world, except for the United States, where Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Pharmacyclics LLC co-market it. Janssen and Pharmacyclics are continuing an extensive clinical development programme for ibrutinib, including Phase 3 study commitments in multiple patient populations – please see the IMBRUVICA summary of product characteristics for further information. About CLL In most patients, CLL is generally a slow-growing blood cancer of the white blood cells called B-lymphocytes.7 The median age at diagnosis is 72 years,8 and incidence rates among men and women in Europe are approximately 5.87 and 4.01 cases per 100,000 persons per year, respectively.9 CLL is a chronic disease; median overall survival ranges between 18 months and more than 10 years according to the stage of disease.10 The disease eventually progresses in the majority of patients, and patients are faced with fewer treatment options each time. Patients are often prescribed multiple lines of therapy as they relapse or become resistant to treatments. CLL cells are found in both the lymphatic system and the blood.11 When the cancer cells are located mostly in the lymph nodes, the disease is called small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Both CLL and SLL are considered different manifestations of the same entity, as classified in the fourth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.12 Janssen in Oncology Our goal is to fundamentally alter the way cancer is understood, diagnosed, and managed, reinforcing our commitment to the patients who inspire us. In looking to find innovative ways to address the cancer challenge, our primary efforts focus on several treatment and prevention solutions.

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AstraZeneca today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Arthritis Advisory Committee (AAC) voted 10-4 to recommend the approval of lesinurad 200 mg tablets for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout, in combination with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI). About Depakote (Divalproex) without prescription The AAC reviewed safety and efficacy data from the pivotal Phase III combination therapy program trials, representing the largest clinical trial data set of gout patients treated with combination urate lowering therapy. The FDA is not bound by the Advisory Committee’s recommendation but takes its advice into consideration when reviewing the application for a potential medicine. About Rogaine (Minoxidil) with no Rx The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target goal date for lesinurad is December 29, 2015. If approved, lesinurad will be the first selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor, or SURI, in the US. About Astelin (Azelastine) without Rx It inhibits the urate transporter, URAT1, which is responsible for the majority of the renal reabsorption of uric acid. Sean Bohen, Executive Vice President of Global Medicines Development and Chief Medical Officer, AstraZeneca, said: “The Committee’s positive recommendation for lesinurad is an encouraging step for patients suffering from the debilitating effects of gout, a disease in which there has been limited treatment innovation over the last 50 years. About Griseofulvin with free prescription We look forward to the outcome of the FDA’s review and the opportunity to provide a new treatment option that when combined with an XOI addresses both the under-excretion and over-production of uric acid, the underlying causes of gout.” Gout is a serious and debilitating form of inflammatory arthritis caused by hyperuricemia (elevated serum uric acid (sUA)). Buy Dilantin (Phenytoin) with free prescription Gout affects millions of Americans, many of whom do not reach recommended sUA treatment goals on the current standard of care (XOIs), which decrease production of uric acid. Buy Food Based Calcium and Magnesium online For those inadequately controlled patients, the addition of a urate lowering therapy to increase excretion of uric acid, may help them achieve treatment goals. Lesinurad is also under regulatory review in the European Union and other territories. NOTES TO EDITORS About Lesinurad If approved, lesinurad will be the first selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor, or SURI, in the US. http://webmd-help.blogspot.com It inhibits the urate transporter, URAT1, which is responsible for the majority of the renal reabsorption of uric acid. By inhibiting URAT1, lesinurad increases uric acid excretion and thereby lowers serum uric acid (sUA). Lesinurad also inhibits organic anion transporter (OAT4) a uric acid transporter involved in diuretic-induced hyperuricemia. In addition, in patients, lesinurad does not inhibit OAT1 and OAT3, which are drug transporters in the kidney associated with drug-drug interactions. If approved, lesinurad in combination with an XOI would provide a dual mechanism of action to increase excretion and decrease production of uric acid enabling more patients with inadequately controlled gout to achieve target treatment goals. About Hyperuricemia and Gout Gout is a serious, chronic, progressive, and debilitating form of inflammatory arthritis. Currently, there are more than 8.3 million patients suffering from gout in the US. The underlying cause of gout is hyperuricemia (elevated serum uric acid (sUA)), which leads to the deposition of crystals primarily in the joints and in other tissues. This can result in recurrent attacks of inflammatory arthritis and, if left uncontrolled, could lead to chronic, progressive arthritis, and tophus (visible deposits of urate crystals) formation. The goal of sUA lowering treatment is to reduce sUA levels tothe target level of <6.0 mg/dL as recommended by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). To improve signs and symptoms such as tophaceous gout, the ACR guidelines state that achieving and maintaining sUA levels <5.0 mg/dL may be required. Among patients treated in clinical trials, less than 50% of patients on allopurinol 300 mg reached serum uric acid (sUA) target levels <6.0 mg/dL. This suggests approximately two million gout patients in the US on urate lowering therapy remain inadequately controlled. For patients who cannot reach target on an XOI alone, the current ACR guidelines recommend adding an agent that increases uric acid excretion. About Ardea Biosciences Ardea Biosciences, Inc. was acquired by AstraZeneca in June 2012. It is located in San Diego, California and is a member of the AstraZeneca Group. Ardea is leading the development of AstraZeneca’s gout portfolio, including lesinurad and RDEA3170. RDEA3170 is a potent selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), also intended for use as a combination urate lowering therapy with xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs). RDEA3170 is our lead investigational urate lowering therapy (ULT) in Asia and is currently entering a Phase IIb trial in the US. About AstraZeneca AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of prescription medicines, primarily for the treatment of cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, inflammation, autoimmune, oncology, infection and neuroscience diseases.

Buy Evecare () without prescription O compromisso de captac~ao de recursos vem na sequ^encia de novas descobertas de uma pesquisa sobre c^ancer publicada pelo Dr. Buy Erectile Dysfunction online Schiffman no Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), o peri odico cient ifico da Associac~ao M edica Americana. A Feld Entertainment lancou hoje um pacote de v ideo de acompanhamento que descreve a pesquisa. http://webmd-review.blogspot.com O v ideo pode ser visto aqui. Dr. Schiffman e a equipe do Primary Children’s Hospital, do Departamento de Pediatria e do Huntsman Cancer Institute – todos situados em Salt Lake City, Utah – est~ao estudando por que h a uma incid^encia t~ao baixa de c^ancer em elefantes, o que torna poss ivel essa resist^encia `a doenca entre elefantes e n~ao em seres humanos, e como isso pode se correlacionar com novos tratamentos de c^ancer pedi atrico. Mais de 16 mil criancas e adolescentes s~ao diagnosticados com c^ancer todos os anos nos Estados Unidos, enquanto entre elefantes, praticamente n~ao h a incid^encia da doenca ao longo de toda a vida do animal. Dr. Schiffman; Dr. Dennis Schmitt, chefe de Servicos Veterin arios e diretor de Pesquisa do Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey; e Dr. Wendy Kiso, cientista de Pesquisa e Conservac~ao do Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation; entre outros colaboradores cientistas em suas equipes, confirmaram recentemente que os elefantes raramente desenvolvem c^ancer, com uma taxa de mortalidade inferior a 5%. Para efeito de comparac~ao, a mesma taxa entre humanos e de 25%. Ao estudarem o genoma dos elefantes, eles descreveram que esses animais possuem 40 c opias de um gene supressor de tumor chamado TP53, enquanto os seres humanos t^em somente duas c opias. Trabalhando com o Jardim Zool ogico Hogle de Utah e o Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation, Dr. Schiffman e seus colegas estudaram a reac~ao do sangue de elefantes a agentes de danificac~ao de DNA e descobriram que a c elula do animal sofre morte celular mais rapidamente quando comparada com as celulas humanas. Dr. Schiffman acredita que pode ser por isso que os elefantes desenvolvem menos c^ancer do que os seres humanos. As descobertas completas do estudo foram publicadas na nova edic~ao do Journal of American Medical Association. A aplicac~ao de pesquisa translacional sobre o c^ancer – as descobertas provenientes da ci^encia b asica que melhoram a sa ude e o bem-estar humanos aperfeicoando pr aticas m edicas e de enfermagem, e criando resultados de sa ude significativos – poderia pavimentar o caminho rumo a uma fronteira inteiramente nova para a pesquisa e o tratamento do c^ancer, da mesa do laborat orio ao leito do paciente.

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MSD, known as Merck (NYSE:MRK) in the United States and Canada, today announced the first-time presentation of findings investigating the use of KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), the company’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as a monotherapy in patients with advanced unresectable nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) – a type of head and neck cancer – whose tumors express PD-L1 (>=1% of cells in tumor nests or PD-L1+ bands in stroma). Actoplus Met (Metformin And Pioglitazone) with no prescription Data were from a Phase 1b study (KEYNOTE-028) and showed an overall response rate (ORR) (confirmed and unconfirmed) of 22.2 percent (95% CI, 8.6-42.3) in evaluable patients (n=27) who were treated with KEYTRUDA. Zocor (Simvastatin) with free prescription Results were presented in an oral session by Dr. Cialis Strong Pack-30 () without prescription Chiun Hsu, National Taiwan University Hospital, at the European Cancer Congress (ECC) in Vienna (Abstract #2801). “Advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a severe form of head and neck cancer often associated with a poor prognosis,” said Dr. About Fluoromethalone without Rx Hsu. Kamagra Effervescent (Sildenafil Citrate) “These data presented at ECC represent the potential for new approaches to treat this type of cancer, for which there are currently limited treatment options, and further support the need for additional research into how KEYTRUDA may work for certain types of head and neck cancer.” MSD has initiated a comprehensive clinical development program evaluating KEYTRUDA in head and neck cancer across multiple lines of therapy as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy as well as other agents. Buy Cold Formulas online In KEYNOTE-028, KEYTRUDA is being evaluated in patients with advanced unresectable NPC that is not responding to current therapy or for which current therapy is not appropriate. http://webmd-consult.blogspot.com This is the second study to show early activity of KEYTRUDA in patients with head and neck cancer and the first study of an anti-PD-1 therapy to demonstrate clinical activity in patients with recurrent or metastatic NPC. For more information about our oncology clinical trials, visit .keynoteclinicaltrials.com. “The findings emerging from this trial again demonstrate that KEYTRUDA is active across a broad range of cancers, including those that are difficult to treat with standard treatments,” said Dr. Roger Dansey, senior vice president and therapeutic area head, oncology late-stage development, Merck Research Laboratories. “Based on these and other results to date, we are continuing to advance a comprehensive head and neck clinical program for KEYTRUDA, and we remain focused on realizing its full potential to address the unmet treatment needs for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma.” Additional Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Results from KEYNOTE-028 KEYNOTE-028 is an ongoing multi-cohort, non-randomized Phase 1b basket trial (a trial design that allows for the study of multiple sub-populations of different tumor or histological types within one study) evaluating the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of KEYTRUDA monotherapy (10 mg/kg dosed every two weeks) in more than 450 patients across 20 different types of cancer. The study was designed to evaluate patients with advanced solid tumors that express PD-L1 and which have not responded to current therapy or for which current therapy is not appropriate. These early findings from 27 heavily pre-treated patients with advanced NPC demonstrated an ORR of 22.2 percent (n=6/27) (per RECIST v1.1), including six partial responses (95% CI, 8.6-42.3). Additionally, 55.6 percent of patients had stable disease (n=15/27) (95% CI, 35.3-74.5), the disease control rate (DCR) was 77.8 percent (n=21/27) (95% CI, 57.7-91.4), and tumor shrinkage was achieved in 67 percent of patients. The 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 49.7 percent and the 12-month PFS rate was 28.9 percent. The median follow-up duration for evaluable patients was 12.9 months (range, 2.2-15.0) and the median response duration was 10.8 months (range, 4.8- 10.8). Adverse events were generally consistent with previously reported safety data for KEYTRUDA. Grade 3-5 investigator-assessed, treatment-related adverse events were hepatitis (n=2), pneumonitis (n=2), anemia (n=1), facial pain (n=1), increased blood creatine phosphokinase (n=1), proteinuria (n=1), and sepsis (n=1). Immune-mediated adverse events were hypothyroidism (n=5), hepatitis (n=4), and pneumonitis (n=3). There was one treatment-related death due to bacterial sepsis. About PD-L1 and PD-L1 Expression PD-L1, also called programmed death-ligand 1, is a protein expressed on many types of cells, including some cancer cells. Under normal conditions, the interaction of PD-L1 with another protein, called programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), serves as an important immune system checkpoint, keeping the immune system in balance and preventing the body from attacking its own cells when inflammation or an infection is present. When cancerous tumors express PD-L1, however, they are able to escape detection and destruction by cytotoxic T-cells – a type of cancer-killing immune cell – allowing the tumor to survive and grow. Tumor PD-L1 expression has been observed at varying levels across many tumor types, including breast, lung, bladder cancer, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. High levels of PD-L1 expression, called overexpression, are under investigation for potential use as a way to help identify patients with an enhanced likelihood to respond to certain immune-based treatment approaches. About Nasopharyngeal Cancer Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer that starts in the epithelial cells that line the surface of the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat behind the nose and near the base of skull.1 There are three types of NPC, based on how the cancer cells look under the microscope: keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, non-keratinizing differentiated carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma.1 Leading risk factors for NPC include Chinese or Asian ancestry, being exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, and drinking large amounts of alcohol.2 In most parts of the world (including the United States), there is less than one case of NPC for every 100,000 people each year.3 In 2015, about 3,200 cases of NPC are expected to occur in the United States.3 About KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) KEYTRUDA is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. By binding to the PD-1 receptor and blocking the interaction with the receptor ligands, KEYTRUDA releases the PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. KEYTRUDA is indicated for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and disease progression following ipilimumab and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. An improvement in survival or disease-related symptoms has not yet been established. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials. The KEYTRUDA clinical development program has rapidly expanded to encompass more than 30 tumor types in more than 130 clinical trials, of which more than 70 trials combine KEYTRUDA with other cancer treatments. Registration-enabling trials of KEYTRUDA monotherapy are currently enrolling patients in melanoma, NSCLC, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and Hodgkin Lymphoma, with further trials in planning for other cancers.

La maladie se caract erise par la prolif eration de cellules plasmatiques anormales. Parce les cellules plasmatiques circulent largement dans le corps, elles peuvent affecter de nombreux os et entra^iner des fractures par tassement, des l esions osseuses lytiques et de la douleur. Le my elome multiple peut entra^iner nombre de graves probl`emes de sant e touchant les os, le syst`eme immunitaire, les reins et le nombre de globules rouges dans le sang, les sympt^omes les plus courants etant notamment des douleurs aux os et de la fatigue, un signe d an emie. Le my elome multiple est une forme de cancer relativement rare. Chaque ann ee, environ 20 000 nouveaux cas sont d eclar es aux Etats-Unis et il y a 114 000 nouveaux cas `a l echelle mondiale. `A propos de l ixazomibL’ixazomib (MLN9708) est un inhibiteur oral exp erimental du prot easome `a l etude dans le traitement du my elome multiple, de l’amylose AL et d autres affections malignes.
