1. What is Kleder and what is it used for

What is Kleder

Kleder contains the active substance lenalidomide. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the functioning of the immune system.

What is Kleder used for

Kleder is used in adults to treat:

  • multiple myeloma,
  • myelodysplastic syndromes,
  • mantle cell lymphoma,
  • follicular lymphoma.

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that attacks a certain type of white blood cell called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and undergo uncontrolled divisions. This can lead to bone and kidney damage.
In principle, multiple myeloma is incurable, but it is possible to temporarily significantly alleviate or eliminate the signs and symptoms of the disease. We call this "response".
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients after bone marrow transplantation
In this indication, Kleder is used without other medicines in maintenance treatment after achieving a suitable condition after transplantation.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma - in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation treatment
Kleder is taken with other medicines. They may include:

  • a chemotherapy medicine called "bortezomib";
  • an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone";
  • a chemotherapy medicine called "melphalan" and
  • an immunosuppressant medicine called "prednisone". The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Kleder alone.

If the patient is 75 years old or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough tests before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma - in patients who have undergone previous treatment
Kleder is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Kleder may stop the progression of multiple myeloma symptoms and signs. It has also been shown to delay the recurrence of multiple myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of different blood and bone marrow diseases. There are abnormal blood cells that do not function properly. Patients may experience various subjective and objective symptoms, including a low number of red blood cells (anemia), the need for blood transfusions, and the risk of infection.
Kleder is used alone to treat adult patients with MDS, if all of the following conditions are met:

  • the patient has anemia that requires regular blood transfusions ("transfusion-dependent anemia");
  • the patient has a cytogenetic abnormality in bone marrow cells called "isolated deletion 5q". This means that the patient's body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
  • the patient has previously used other treatments that have proven to be ineffective or insufficient.

Taking Kleder may lead to an increase in the number of healthy blood cells produced by the body, by limiting the number of abnormal cells:

  • this may lead to a reduction in the number of blood transfusions required. It is possible that transfusions will no longer be needed.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)

MCL is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphoid tissue). It attacks a certain type of white blood cell called B lymphocytes or B cells. Mantle cell lymphoma is a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of B lymphocytes, resulting in their accumulation in lymphoid tissue, bone marrow, or blood.
Kleder is used alone to treat adult patients who have previously been treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a slow-growing malignant tumor that attacks B lymphocytes. It is a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. In patients with FL, there may be an accumulation of too many B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Kleder is taken with another medicine called "rituximab" to treat adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.

How Kleder works

Kleder works by affecting the functioning of the immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. The medicine works in several ways:

  • by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells,
  • by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels in the tumor,
  • by stimulating part of the immune system to attack cancer cells.

2. Important information before taking Kleder

Before starting treatment with Kleder, you should carefully read the leaflets of all medicinal products taken in combination with Kleder.

When not to take Kleder:

  • If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, as it is expected that Kleder will be harmful to the unborn child(see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - information for women and men").
  • If you may become pregnant, unless you use all required pregnancy prevention measures (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - information for women and men"). If you may become pregnant, your doctor will always make a note when prescribing the medicine that the necessary measures have been taken and will inform you about it.
  • If you are allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine listed in section 6. In case of suspected allergy, you should ask your doctor for advice.

If any of these points apply to you, you should not take Kleder. In case of doubts, you should consult your doctor.
Before starting Kleder treatment, you should consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse in the following cases:

  • you have had blood clots in the past - this means an increased risk of blood clots in the veins and arteries during treatment;
  • you have any symptoms of infection, such as cough or fever;
  • you have a current or past viral infection, especially hepatitis B, chickenpox, and shingles. If in doubt, you should consult your doctor. Kleder treatment may cause the virus to reactivate in patients who are its carriers. This leads to a recurrence of the infection. Your doctor will check if you have had hepatitis B in the past.
  • you have kidney problems - your doctor may adjust the dose of Kleder;
  • you have had a heart attack, have ever had a blood clot, if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels;
  • you have had allergic symptoms when taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing;
  • you have had a combination of any of the following symptoms in the past: widespread rash, redness of the skin, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes - these are symptoms of a severe skin reaction called drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as "DRESS" or "drug hypersensitivity syndrome" (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").

If any of the above applies to you, you should consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
If at any time during or after treatment you experience:

  • vision disturbances, loss of vision, or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness of the arm or leg, change in gait, or balance disturbances, persistent numbness, decreased sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or disorientation, you should immediately tell your doctor or nurse. These may be symptoms of a severe and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have had such symptoms before treatment with lenalidomide, you should inform your doctor about any changes in these symptoms.
  • shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the feet or ankles. These may be symptoms of a severe condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations

Before and during treatment with Kleder, regular blood tests will be performed. This is because Kleder may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells that fight infections (white blood cells) and help blood clot (platelets).
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:

  • before treatment;
  • every week for the first 8 weeks of treatment;
  • then at least once a month.

Before starting lenalidomide treatment and during treatment, you may be evaluated for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Patient with MDS taking Kleder
If you have myelodysplastic syndrome, there is an increased chance of developing a severe disease called acute myeloid leukemia. Additionally, it is not known how Kleder affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, your doctor may perform tests and check for signs that will help better predict the risk of acute myeloid leukemia during Kleder treatment.
Patient with MCL taking Kleder
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:

  • before treatment;
  • every week for the first 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment;
  • then every 2 weeks in cycles 3 and 4 (more information is provided in section 3 "Treatment cycle");
  • then at the beginning of each cycle and
  • at least once a month.

Patient with FL taking Kleder
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:

  • before treatment;
  • every week for the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment;
  • then every 2 weeks in cycles 2-4 (more information is provided in section 3 "Treatment cycle");
  • then at the beginning of each cycle and
  • at least once a month.

Your doctor may perform a test to check if you have a large amount of tumor tissue in your body, including bone marrow. This may lead to a situation where the tumor tissue starts to die and causes abnormal growth of various substances in the blood, which can lead to kidney failure (a condition called tumor lysis syndrome).
Your doctor may perform a test to check if you have any skin changes, such as red spots or rash.
Your doctor may change the dose of Kleder or stop treatment based on the results of your blood tests and your overall condition. If the disease is newly diagnosed, your doctor may also evaluate treatment based on your age and other diseases you already have.

Blood donation

During treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment, you must not donate blood.

Children and adolescents

Kleder is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Elderly and patients with kidney problems

If you are 75 years old or older, or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will perform thorough tests before starting treatment.

Kleder and other medicines

You should tell your doctor or nurse about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken. This is necessary because Kleder may affect the action of other medicines. Also, some other medicines may affect how Kleder works.
In particular, you should inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking the following medicines:

  • certain contraceptives, such as oral contraceptives, as they may stop working;
  • certain heart medicines, such as digoxin;
  • certain blood-thinning medicines, such as warfarin.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - information for women and men

Pregnancy

For women taking Kleder

  • You must not take Kleder if you are pregnant, as it is expected to be harmful to the unborn child.
  • You must not become pregnant while taking Kleder.
  • Therefore, women who may become pregnant must use effective contraception (see "Contraception").
  • If you become pregnant while taking Kleder, you must stop treatment immediately and inform your doctor.

For men taking Kleder

  • If your partner becomes pregnant while you are taking Kleder, she should immediately inform her doctor. Your partner should consult a doctor.
  • Men should also use effective contraception (see "Contraception").

Breastfeeding

This also applies to men who have had a vasectomy. During treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment, you must not donate semen.

Driving and using machines

You should not drive or operate machinery if you experience dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, balance disturbances caused by dizziness, or blurred vision after taking Kleder.
Kleder contains lactose and sodium.
Kleder contains lactose. If you have previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, you should contact your doctor before taking this medicine.
The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, which means it is considered "sodium-free".

3. How to take Kleder

Kleder must be administered by medical personnel who have experience in treating multiple myeloma, MDS, MCL, or FL.

  • When Kleder is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation or who have undergone previous treatment, the medicine is taken with other medicines (see section 1 "What is Kleder used for").
  • When Kleder is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients after bone marrow transplantation or to treat patients with MDS or MCL, the medicine is used alone.
  • When Kleder is used to treat follicular lymphoma, it is taken with another medicine called "rituximab".

Kleder should always be taken according to your doctor's instructions. If you have any doubts, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are taking Kleder with other medicines, you should read the leaflet that comes with their packaging to get information about their use and effects.

Treatment cycle

Kleder is taken on specific days during a period of three weeks (21 days).

  • Each such 21-day period is called a treatment cycle.
  • Depending on the day of the cycle, you will take one or more medicines. However, on some days, you will not take any medicines.
  • After completing each 21-day cycle, you should start a new 21-day cycle. OR Kleder is taken on specific days during a period of four weeks (28 days).

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Kleder can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

If you experience any of the following severe side effects, you should stop taking Kleder and immediately consult your doctor – you may need urgent treatment:

  • hives, rash, swelling of the eyes, lips, or face, difficulty breathing, or itching, which may be symptoms of severe allergic reactions called angioedema and anaphylaxis;
  • a severe allergic reaction that starts as a rash in one area and spreads to the whole body, accompanied by a significant loss of skin (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis);
  • widespread rash, high fever, increased liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes, and involvement of other organs (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as "DRESS" or "drug hypersensitivity syndrome"). See also section 2.
