Can ixazomib cause shingles?

Ixazomib does not cause shingles, but patients who have previously had chickenpox (varicella-herpes zoster virus) are at increased risk of developing shingles while receiving ixazomib treatment because dormant viruses can reactivate when the immune system is suppressed. In clinical trials, the overall rate of herpes zoster was 4% in the ixazomib group and 2% in the placebo group, meaning that the rate of herpes zoster was 2% higher in the ixazomib group than in the placebo group. By taking antiviral drugs, the incidence of herpes zoster in the ixazomib group was reduced to less than 1%.

Shingles is a painful rash that usually appears only on one side of the face, body, or head. Shingles is an infection caused by the chickenpox-herpes zoster virus. Chickenpox-The shingles virus causes chickenpox when you first get it, and most people get chickenpox when they are young. Once the chickenpox infection clears, small amounts of the chickenpox virus can remain inactive inside the nerves. If the immune system is suppressed, such as when taking anticancer drugs, the virus can be reactivated, causing shingles. Once reactivated, the virus will travel along the nerves to the skin and cause a rash. Pain or irritation from shingles can last 3 to 5 weeks, but if the virus damages nerves, you may feel pain, numbness, or tingling for months or even years after the rash heals.
