Medical Description

Brukinsa capsule contains zanubrutinib as its active ingredient. It is a prescription cancer medicine that belongs to a class of medicines called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. It works by permanently binding to and blocking a protein called BTK, which is a key signalling molecule that certain blood cancer cells rely on to grow, multiply, and survive. By blocking BTK, this medicine helps prevent the growth and spread of cancerous B-cells. It comes as a white to off-white capsule taken by mouth.

This medicine is used for the treatment of adults with five types of blood cancer: mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after at least one prior therapy; Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM); relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) after at least one prior anti-CD20-based treatment; chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL); and relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after at least two prior lines of systemic therapy, used in combination with obinutuzumab.

Brukinsa capsule is an oral medicine taken at home, initiated and supervised by a specialist doctor experienced in treating blood cancers. Treatment is continued until the cancer stops responding or side effects become unmanageable.

Uses

Brukinsa capsule is used to treat adults with:
  • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.
  • Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM).

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

No. Brukinsa capsule must not be used during pregnancy, as it can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose. Men must also use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

You should not breastfeed during treatment with Brukinsa capsule or for 2 weeks after the last dose. It is not known whether zanubrutinib passes into human breast milk, but because of the potential for serious harm to a nursing baby, breastfeeding must be avoided during this period. Talk to your doctor about safe alternatives for feeding your baby.

Driving

Driving

Use caution. Brukinsa capsule can cause dizziness and fatigue, which may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. If you feel very tired or unwell, do not drive and let your doctor know.

Alcohol

Alcohol

It is best to avoid alcohol during your treatment course. If you have any questions about whether any amount of alcohol is safe for you, speak to your doctor before making that decision.

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You notice any unusual bleeding including prolonged nosebleeds, blood in the urine, coughing up blood, blood in stools, or unexpected bruising, as Brukinsa capsule can cause serious or fatal haemorrhage, particularly in patients also taking blood thinners or antiplatelet medicines.
  • You develop fever, chills, persistent cough, or any signs of infection, as Brukinsa capsule can significantly lower white blood cell counts and increase the risk of serious life-threatening infections including pneumonia, sepsis, and opportunistic infections.
  • You have a history of hepatitis B infection, as Brukinsa capsule can trigger reactivation of hepatitis B; antiviral prophylaxis may be required before starting treatment.
  • You develop palpitations, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort, as Brukinsa capsule can cause cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias requiring medical management.
  • You notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal discomfort, as Brukinsa capsule can cause serious liver damage including drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that may require treatment discontinuation.
  • You are planning surgery or an invasive dental procedure, as Brukinsa capsule increases the risk of bleeding and a temporary treatment pause of 3 to 7 days before and after surgery may be required.
  • You have severe liver disease (Child-Pugh C), as a dose reduction from the standard dose is required for this condition.
  • You notice any new, changing, or unusual skin lesions, as Brukinsa capsule is associated with an increased risk of new skin cancers and regular skin monitoring with sun protection is recommended throughout treatment.
  • You have a history of cardiac conditions including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, or other arrhythmias, as Brukinsa capsule may worsen existing cardiac problems.
  • You are a man or woman planning to have children in the future, as Brukinsa capsule may affect fertility based on findings in animal studies.
  • Before receiving any live vaccines during treatment, as your immune response may be significantly weakened.

Directions for Use

  • Take Brukinsa capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food.
  • Swallow the capsules whole with a glass of water; do not open, break, or chew them.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible on the same day and return to your normal schedule the following day.
  • Never change your dose or stop taking Brukinsa capsule without first consulting your doctor.

Storage and disposal

  • Store at room temperature, 20-25°C (68-77°F).
  • Do not freeze.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Quick Tips

  • Swallow Brukinsa capsule capsules whole with a glass of water; never open, break, or chew them.
  • Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding such as blood in the urine, prolonged nosebleeds, coughing up blood, or blood in stools, as this medicine can cause serious or fatal haemorrhage.
  • Tell your doctor right away if you develop fever, persistent cough, chills, or any signs of infection, as Brukinsa capsule can significantly lower your white blood cell count and increase the risk of serious infections.
  • Report any palpitations, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, or chest discomfort to your doctor, as Brukinsa capsule has been associated with cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation.
  • Use broad-spectrum sunscreen and wear protective clothing outdoors, and attend regular skin check-ups, as Brukinsa capsule is associated with an increased risk of new skin cancers.
  • Tell your doctor well in advance of any planned surgery or dental procedure, as a temporary treatment pause may be needed to reduce the risk of bleeding.
  • Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose; men must also use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose.
  • Inform all your doctors, dentists, and emergency care providers that you are taking Brukinsa capsule, as it affects your blood counts and interacts with many medicines.

Dosage

Overdose

  • There is no specific antidote for a Brukinsa capsule overdose. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency department right away. Your doctor will stop the medicine and provide supportive monitoring and care as needed.
  • Since Brukinsa capsule is taken at home, always keep it in its original container and never share it with others.

Missed a Dose

  • If you miss a dose of Brukinsa capsule, take it as soon as you remember on the same day and then return to your normal schedule the following day. If you do not remember until the next day, skip the missed dose entirely.
  • Do not take extra capsules to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure what to do, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

How does this medicine work?

Brukinsa capsule works by permanently binding to a protein called BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase), which is a key signalling molecule that cancerous B-cells depend on to grow, multiply, and survive. By blocking BTK activity, Brukinsa capsule interrupts the signals that drive malignant B-cell growth, causing these cancer cells to stop dividing and die. This targeted mechanism makes it effective across multiple types of B-cell blood cancers.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Avoid strong CYP3A inducers such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John's Wort, as these can significantly reduce the effectiveness of Brukinsa capsule by lowering its blood levels.
  • Avoid moderate CYP3A inducers such as rifabutin and efavirenz if possible; if they cannot be avoided, your doctor will increase the dose of Brukinsa capsule.
  • Strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors such as ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, and clarithromycin can significantly raise Brukinsa capsule blood levels; your doctor will reduce your dose if these medicines are needed.
  • Brukinsa capsule can raise digoxin levels (a heart medicine); your doctor will monitor you closely if both medicines are taken together.
  • Always tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, vitamins, and herbal products you are taking before starting treatment.

Interactions with food items

  • Brukinsa capsule can be taken with or without food, as food does not significantly affect the overall amount of medicine absorbed into the body.
  • Eating small, light, and frequent meals can help manage nausea and diarrhoea, which are common side effects.
  • Drink enough water and fluids throughout the day to support overall health during treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol during treatment, as it can worsen fatigue, diarrhoea, and may increase the risk of bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Brukinsa capsule is a next-generation BTK inhibitor designed to bind more completely and selectively to the BTK protein compared to earlier BTK inhibitors such as ibrutinib. In head-to-head clinical trials, it showed a better cardiovascular safety profile with a lower rate of atrial fibrillation. It also achieves near-complete BTK occupancy of 94 to 100% throughout the dosing period, contributing to its sustained effectiveness across multiple B-cell blood cancers.
Yes, Brukinsa capsule can be taken as 160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily, as both deliver the same total daily dose. Your doctor will decide which schedule suits your lifestyle and medical needs. Both are clinically equivalent in terms of overall drug exposure. Whichever schedule you use, take it consistently at the same time each day for maximum benefit.
Treatment is continued until your cancer stops responding or side effects become unmanageable. There is no fixed treatment duration. Your doctor will monitor your response regularly with blood tests and imaging. In clinical trials, many patients remained on treatment for two years or more. Your doctor will discuss your response and any changes to your treatment plan with you as they arise.
Like other BTK inhibitors, Brukinsa capsule has been associated with an increased risk of new skin cancers, particularly non-melanoma types such as basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, in around 8% of patients. The exact reason is not fully understood. To reduce this risk, use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing and hats outdoors, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Your doctor will arrange regular skin check-ups throughout your treatment. Report any new, changing, or unusual skin lesion promptly.
Tell your doctor well in advance of any planned surgery or invasive dental procedure. Brukinsa capsule inhibits platelet activity, increasing the risk of bleeding during and after procedures. Your doctor will assess the bleeding risk and may advise pausing treatment for 3 to 7 days before and after surgery. Never stop or pause treatment on your own, as this may affect cancer control. Always inform your dental team before any extraction or invasive work.
