Blinatumomab (Blincyto®) Overview

  •  Availability in India

Blinatumomab is a cancer medicine that is sold under the brand name Blincyto. It is used to treat a blood cancer called B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia in patients of age one year and above. Its usage is accompanied by patients whose cancer has relapsed or has not improved with previous treatment. It can also be used in these patients as part of ‘consolidation therapy’ to improve the diminution of cancer. Blincyto is used in patients who have the protein CD19 on their cancer cells and are ‘Philadelphia-chromosome-negative’ (Ph-negative), which means that the patient’s cancer cells do not have an abnormal chromosome called the Philadelphia chromosome.

It is available in India for use and can be supplied by an approved generic medication supplier.

We are the most reliable suppliers to buy Blincyto 38.5 mcg at economical prices.

It can easily be purchased as Blincyto's price in India is pocket friendly and can only be obtained with a prescription, and treatment should be started by a medical specialist who has experience in the treatment of patients with cancers of the blood. It is available in injections as 35 mcg lyophilized powder in a single dose via injection is available for Administration. Before the treatment, body weight is monitored, and the dose is calculated on the basis of weight. It is given by dripping the vein, and the infusion is done intravenously only by a pump device.

For reconstitution, add 3 mL of preservative-free Sterile Water for Injection of USP directly into the walls of BLINCYTO, and the resulting final concentration is 12.5 mcg/mL. The prepared infusion is gently swirled, and excess foam is avoided. If there is any particulate matter or any sort of discoloration is observed, the batch of prepared BLINCYTO must be discarded and should not be used. After preparation, the prepared BLINCYTO-infused bag must be continuously induced over a period of 24 or 48 hours.

For treatment of relapsed or refractory B-precursor ALL, the dose depends on the patient’s weight. Blincyto is infused continuously for four weeks as part of the treatment cycle. Each cycle is separated by an interval after a two-week treatment. Patients are treated with an additional three cycles of BLINCYTO and have no signs of cancer after two cycles if the benefits outweigh the risks for the patient.

  • Method Of Action

In B-precursor ALL, certain cells that give rise to a type of white blood cell called B cells multiply too quickly, and they eventually replace normal blood cells with abnormal cells. The active substance in Blincyto is blinatumomab which is an antibody that has been designed to attach to a CD19( a protein) found on B cells, including ALL cells. It also attaches to a protein (CD3) in T cells. T cells are another type of white blood cell.

Hence, Blincyto acts as a ‘bridge’, bringing T cells and B cells together. It causes the T cells to release substances that kill the cancerous B cells eventually.

People who have blood cancer of this kind can get this medicine against a prescription from any of the suppliers at economical prices, as the cost of BLINCYTO in India, is budget-friendly.

  •  Drug Interactions

There are no formal drug interaction studies that have been conducted with BLINCYTO. Starting the treatment of BLINCYTO causes the transient release of cytokines which may suppress CYP450 enzymes. During the first 9 days of the first cycle and the first 2 days of the second cycle in patients who are receiving concomitant CYP450 substrates, there are the highest drug-drug interaction risk, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index. In these patients, monitor for toxicity (e.g., warfarin) or drug concentrations (e.g., cyclosporine). Adjust the dose of the concomitant drug as needed.


  • USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATION

● Pregnancy- BLINCYTO may cause fetal harm, including B-cell lymphocytopenia, when

administered to a pregnant woman according to their method of action. There is no data on the

use of BLINCYTO in pregnant women, but it is advised to pregnant women not to use it because

it may cross the placental barrier shown in animal studies and may cause potential risks to a fetus.

The background rate of major birth defects and miscarriage is unknown for the indicated

population. It is easily available as you can buy BLINCYTO online, so all the side effects and

use must be understood properly and used in an efficient and safer way.

● Lactation- There is no information regarding the presence of blinatumomab in human milk or the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on the production of milk. Because of the fact many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from BLINCYTO, including B-cell lymphocytopenia, it is advised to patients not to breastfeed during and for at least 48 hours after treatment with BLINCYTO.
