JAYPIRCA®

Active ingredient: pirtobrutinib


Consumer Medicine Information (CMI)

This leaflet provides important information about using JAYPIRCA. You should also speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you would like further information or if you have any concerns or questions about using JAYPIRCA.

Where to find information in this leaflet:

1. Why am I taking JAYPIRCA?

JAYPIRCA contains the active ingredient pirtobrutinib. JAYPIRCA is a cancer medicine that belongs to a class of medicines called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. JAYPIRCA works by blocking BTK, a protein that helps certain types of cancer cells grow.

JAYPIRCA is used on its own (monotherapy) to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, a type of cancer affecting white blood cells called lymphocytes, in adult patients previously treated with a BTK inhibitor. This medicine is used when the cancer has come back (relapsed), or treatment has not worked or stopped working (refractory).

2. What should I know before I take JAYPIRCA?

Warnings

Do not use JAYPIRCA if:

  • you are allergic to pirtobrutinib, or any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.
  • Always check the ingredients to make sure you can use this medicine.

Check with your doctor if you:

  • have an infection or are at an increased risk of developing an infection. Your doctor may give you medicines to treat or prevent infections or may adjust your dose of JAYPIRCA.
  • have or ever had unusual bruising or bleeding or are taking medicines/supplements that could increase your risk of bleeding (see Section 3. What if I am taking other medicines?).
  • have recently had any surgery or are planning on having surgery. Your doctor may stop your JAYPIRCA for a short time (3 to 5 days) before and after surgery.
  • have recently had a blood test which has shown a low count of red blood cells (anaemia); low count of a type of white blood cell called neutrophils which help fight infections (neutropenia); low count of platelets which help the blood clot (thrombocytopenia). Your doctor may need to adjust your dose.
  • have or ever have had an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter) or have any other heart problems. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose.
  • take any medicines for any other condition.

Talk to your doctor if you notice any changes to the appearance of an area on the skin or develop a new lesion. Treatment with JAYPIRCA may increase your risk of developing skin cancers. Use sun protection and have regular skin checks.

Unusual levels of chemicals in the blood caused by the fast breakdown of cancer cells, known as tumour lysis syndrome (TLS), have been reported rarely during treatment with JAYPIRCA. This may lead to changes in kidney function, abnormal heartbeat, or seizures. Your doctor will assess your risk of developing tumour lysis syndrome and perform regular blood tests to monitor you.

During treatment, you may be at risk of developing certain side effects. It is important you understand these risks and how to monitor for them. See additional information under Section 6. Are there any side effects?
