Oral chemo drug exact spelling

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Arlington Heights, IL

I found out today that I am going to be taking an oral chemo drug that sounds like McCalquien but I didn't want the person to spell it. Does anybody know the exact spelling?

Thanks

Is this it?

CALQUENCE is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior treatment for their cancer, or adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
