In March 2019 Secura Bio acquired the global rights of Farydak from Novartis, and announced that Inceptua is appointed as distributor for Farydak in the Nordic region.
Farydak is an anti-cancer medicine that contains the active substance panobinostat, which belongs to a group of medicines called pan-deacetylase inhibitors.
Farydak is used to treat adult patients with a rare type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a disorder of plasma cells (a type of blood cell) that grow out of control in the bone marrow.
Farydak blocks the growth of cancerous plasma cells and reduces the number of cancer cells. Farydak is always used together with two other medicines: bortezomib and dexamethasone.
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
