It is indicated for the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome and follicular lymphoma. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells that predominantly develop in the bone marrow, where these cells accumulate and divide uncontrollably. Although this cancer cannot be cured, its symptoms can be managed. Myelodysplastic syndrome refers to a group of blood and bone marrow disorders in which blood cells become abnormal and do not function properly. Mantle cell lymphoma is a less common malignancy affecting the lymph nodes. Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing cancer that affects B cells.
