Am I eligible for Evomela patient assistance?

We review each Evomela enrollment application individually to determine if you are eligible. Each assistance program has its own eligibility criteria and the factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Evomela patient assistance program?

Our process makes it as easy as possible to apply for the Evomela patient assistance program. Begin by completing the enrollment application form on our website. Tell us about any medications that you are taking, including Evomela, your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who will supply the medication, so it is important to make sure this information is accurate and up to date.

We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance. If we can pre-qualify you for assistance, NiceRx will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. If you are approved by the pharmaceutical company, you will typically start receiving your medication in 6 – 8 weeks.

What is Evomela?

Evomela is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Acrotech Biopharma LLC. Evomela is an alkylating agent indicated for:

  • Use as a high-dose conditioning treatment prior to hematopoietic progenitor (stem) cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma
  • The palliative treatment of patients with multiple myeloma for whom oral therapy is not appropriate

What doses of Evomela are available?

Evomela is available in injection form, in the following doses: 50 mg per vial, lyophilized powder in a single-dose vial for reconstitution.

For conditioning treatment, the recommended dose of Evomela is 100 mg/m2 each day administered over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion for 2 consecutive days prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

For palliative treatment, the recommended dose of Evomela is 16 mg/m2 administered as a single intravenous infusion over 15-20 minutes at 2-week intervals for 4 doses, then, after adequate recovery from toxicity, at 4-week intervals.

Do not mix Evomela with other melphalan hydrochloride for injection drug products. See the full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning, and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Evomela active ingredients

Evomela side effects

The most common side effects of Evomela in clinical trials include:

  • Neutropenia (decreased neutrophil count)
  • Decreased white blood cell count
  • Decreased lymphocyte count
  • Thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet count)
  • Hypokalemia
  • Anemia
  • Fatigue

In rare instances, Evomela can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Gastrointestinal toxicity – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or oral mucositis. Provide supportive care using antiemetic and antidiarrheal medications

  • Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred in approximately 2% of patients who received the IV formulation of melphalan. Discontinue treatment for serious hypersensitivity reactions

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Evomela against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Evomela to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
