1. What is Lenalidomide Teva and what is it used for
What isLenalidomide Teva
Lenalidomide Teva contains the active substance “lenalidomide”. This medicine belongs to a group of
medicines that affect how the immune system works.
What Lenalidomide Teva is used for
Lenalidomide Teva is used in adults to:
- MultIPLE myeloma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
- Follicular lymphoma
MultIPLE myeloma
MultIPLE myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cell called plasma cells. These cells build up in the bone marrow and multiply out of control. This can damage the bones and kidneys.
MultIPLE myeloma usually has no cure. However, the signs and
symptoms can be greatly reduced or may disappear for a period of time. This is called “remission”.
Newly diagnosed multIPLE myeloma: in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomide Teva is used as maintenance treatment after recovery from a bone marrow transplant.
Newly diagnosed multIPLE myeloma: in patients who cannot be treated with a bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomide Teva is taken with other medicines, including:
- a chemotherapy medicine called “bortezomib”
- an anti-inflammatory called “dexamethasone”
- a chemotherapy medicine called “melphalan” and
- an immunosuppressant called “prednisone”.
You will take these medicines at the start of treatment and then continue to take Lenalidomide Teva on its own.
If you are 75 years or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will monitor you closely before starting treatment.
MultIPLE myeloma: in patients previously treated
Lenalidomide Teva is taken with an anti-inflammatory called “dexamethasone”.
Lenalidomide Teva can delay the worsening of multIPLE myeloma symptoms. It has also been shown to delay the return of multIPLE myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
MDS are a group of many different blood and bone marrow disorders. The blood cells become abnormal and do not work properly. Patients may experience a range of signs and symptoms including low red blood cell count (anaemia), the need for blood transfusions and an increased risk of infection.
Lenalidomide Teva is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS, when all of the following apply:
- you need regular blood transfusions to treat low red blood cell counts (“transfusion-dependent anaemia”);
- you have a bone marrow abnormality called “isolated deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality”. This means that your body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
- other treatments you have used before are not suitable or have not worked well enough.
Lenalidomide Teva can increase the number of healthy red blood cells your body produces by reducing the number of abnormal cells:
- this may reduce the number of blood transfusions you need. You may not need transfusions at all.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
MCL is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphatic tissue). It affects a type of white blood cell called “B lymphocytes” or B cells. MCL is a disease in which B cells grow out of control and build up in lymphatic tissue, bone marrow or blood.
Lenalidomide Teva is used on its own to treat adult patients who have previously received other treatments.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
FL is a slow-growing cancer that affects B lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cell that help the body fight infection. When someone has FL they can build up too many of these B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen.
Lenalidomide Teva is used with another medicine called “rituximab” to treat adult patients who have previously received treatment for follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomide Teva works
Lenalidomide Teva works by affecting the immune system and directly attacking the cancer.
It works in several ways:
- stops the growth of cancer cells
- stops the growth of blood vessels in the cancer
- stimulates part of the immune system to attack cancer cells.
2. What you need to know before you take Lenalidomide Teva
You must read the package leaflets of all the medicines you are going to take in combination with Lenalidomide Teva before you start treatment with Lenalidomide Teva.
Do not take Lenalidomide Teva
- if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as Lenalidomide Teva is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby(see section 2, “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and contraception: information for women and men”).
- if you can become pregnant, unless you use effective contraception (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and contraception: information for women and men”). If you can become pregnant, your doctor will ask you to take a pregnancy test before each prescription and will ask you to sign a form confirming that you understand the risks and the measures to be taken to prevent pregnancy. Your doctor will also give you this confirmation.
- if you are allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, ask your doctor.
If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take Lenalidomide Teva. If you are in doubt, ask your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you start taking Lenalidomide Teva if
- you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have a higher risk of getting blood clots in your veins and arteries.
- you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever.
- you have had or currently have a viral infection, especially hepatitis B, varicella zoster or HIV. If you are in doubt, ask your doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide Teva can cause the virus to become active again in people who carry the virus. This can lead to the infection coming back. Your doctor should check if you have ever had a hepatitis B infection.
- you have kidney problems; your doctor may adjust your dose of Lenalidomide Teva.
- you have had a heart attack, have ever had a blood clot, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels.
- you have had an allergic reaction while using thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multIPLE myeloma), such as a skin rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or breathing problems.
- you have experienced in the past a combination of any of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes (these are signs of a severe skin reaction called drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS or drug hypersensitivity syndrome) (see also section 4 “Possible side effects”).
If any of these conditions apply to you, tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you start treatment.
At any time during or after treatment, tell your doctor or nurse immediately if:
- you have blurred vision, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in an arm or leg, a change in the way you walk or balance problems, numbness, decreased sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or confusion. These can be symptoms of a serious and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have any of these symptoms before you start treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, tell your doctor if you notice any change in these symptoms.
- you have shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, chest pain, faster heart rate or swelling in your legs or ankles. These can be symptoms of a serious condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).
Tests and examinations
Before you start treatment with Lenalidomide Teva and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because Lenalidomide Teva can cause a decrease in the blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and those that help the blood to clot (platelets).
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:
- before treatment
- every week, during the first 8 weeks of treatment
- then at least every month.
You may be evaluated for signs of heart and lung problems before and during treatment with lenalidomide.
For patients with MDS taking Lenalidomide Teva
If you have MDS, you may be more likely to develop a more advanced disease called acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Also, it is not known how Lenalidomide Teva affects your chances of developing AML. Your doctor may therefore ask you to have tests to look for signs that may predict a higher chance of developing AML during treatment with Lenalidomide Teva.
For patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Teva
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:
- before treatment
- every week during the first 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment
- then every 2 weeks in cycles 3 and 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information)
- then at the start of each cycle and
- at least every month.
For patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Teva
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:
- before treatment
- every week during the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment
- then every 2 weeks in cycles 2 to 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information)
- then at the start of each cycle and
- at least every month.
Your doctor may check if you have a high amount of tumour in your body, including in your bone marrow. This could lead to a condition in which the tumours break down and produce unusual levels of chemicals in the blood that can cause kidney failure (this condition is called “tumour lysis syndrome”).
Your doctor may examine you to check for changes in your skin, such as red spots or skin rash.
Your doctor may adjust your dose of Lenalidomide Teva or stop your treatment, depending on the results of your blood tests and your overall condition. If you are a newly diagnosed patient, your doctor may also evaluate your treatment based on your age and any other conditions you may have.
Blood donation
You must not donate blood during treatment and for at least 7 days after the end of treatment.
Children and adolescents
Lenalidomide Teva is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years.
Elderly and patients with kidney problems
If you are 75 years or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will monitor you closely before starting treatment.
Other medicines and Lenalidomide Teva
Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines. This is because Lenalidomide Teva can affect how other medicines work. Also, some medicines can affect how Lenalidomide Teva works.
In particular, tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- some medicines used to prevent pregnancy, such as oral contraceptives, as they may not work
- some medicines used for heart problems, such as digoxin
- some medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin
