IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WHAT IS VYLOY?

VYLOY is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with cancer of the stomach (gastric cancer) or cancer located where the esophagus joins the stomach (gastroesophageal junction cancer). VYLOY is used in combination with chemotherapy that contains fluoropyrimidine and platinum as the first treatment when your gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer:

  • cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body,
  • is HER2-negative, and
  • your tumor tests positive for “claudin (CLDN)18.2.”

It is not known if VYLOY is safe and effective in children.
