The KYPROLIS® Patient Support program is designed to provide patients and caregivers with important information about KYPROLIS®, including educational materials that can help you follow your treatment plan.

If you are a patient currently being treated with KYPROLIS®, you may also sign up to receive calls from an Amgen Nurse Navigator* who can help provide the individualized support you need, when you need it.

Resources include referrals to independent nonprofit patient assistance programs. Eligibility for resources provided by independent nonprofit patient assistance programs is based on the nonprofits' criteria. Amgen has no control over these programs and provides referrals as a courtesy only.

Expiration, Right to Obtain a Copy and Right to Cancel
I understand that by signing this form, I authorize my Health Care Providers or others who might hold my health information to only release it to Amgen employees, as well as to its contractors and business partners, who are performing the services set forth in this Authorization. I also understand I am authorizing my personal information, including my personal health information, to be used for the purposes described above.
