Nelova 150 mg Capsule 28's contains Nilotinib, an anticancer drug used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, a change in genetic material (DNA) triggers a signal that tells the body to produce more abnormal white blood cells (cancerous cells). Nilotinib works by blocking this signal and thus stops the production of cancerous cells. Nelova 150 mg Capsule 28's is used in adults and children with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML in the chronic phase and in adults with Ph+ CML in the accelerated and chronic phase who did not tolerate or no longer benefit from other treatments, including Imatinib.

Regular tests are recommended during treatment with Nelova 150 mg Capsule 28's:
Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML): It is a common form of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that occurs when specific chromosomes swap positions, causing an abnormality in the chromosomes, creating the Philadelphia chromosome. The abnormal chromosomes produce an abnormal protein called Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, which then triggers a signal to produce abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. CML is a type of blood cancer which makes the body produce too many abnormal white blood cells. Many people with Ph+ CML will not experience symptoms before their diagnosis. However, if symptoms do occur, they include weight loss, weakness, night sweats, extreme tiredness, feeling full after only small meals, bone pain, and easy bleeding.
