1. What is Lenalidomide Eugia and what is it used for

What is Lenalidomide Eugia

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

What is Lenalidomide Eugia used for

Lenalidomide Eugia is used in adult patients 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. However, it is possible to temporarily significantly alleviate or remove the signs and symptoms of the disease. We call this "remission". New diagnosis of multiple myeloma - in patients after bone marrow transplantation Lenalidomide Eugia is used without other medicines in maintenance treatment, after achieving a suitable condition after transplantation. New diagnosis of multiple myeloma - in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation treatment Lenalidomide Eugia is taken with other medicines, including:

  • a chemotherapy medicine called bortezomib
  • another medicine called dexamethasone
  • another medicine called melphalan and
  • a medicine with immunosuppressive action called prednisone. The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Lenalidomide Eugia 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 Lenalidomide Eugia is taken in combination with another anti-inflammatory medicine called dexamethasone. Lenalidomide Eugia 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. Abnormal blood cells are present, which 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. Lenalidomide Eugia is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients who have been diagnosed with MDS, if all of the following conditions are met:

  • the patient needs regular blood transfusions due to a low number of red blood cells ("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 undergone other treatments that have proven to be ineffective or insufficient.

Taking Lenalidomide Eugia may lead to an increase in the number of healthy blood cells produced by the body, by reducing the number of abnormal cells:

  • this may lead to a decrease 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. Lenalidomide Eugia is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients who have previously been treated with other medicines.

Follicular lymphoma (FL)

FL is a slow-growing malignant cancer 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. Lenalidomide Eugia is taken with another medicine called "rituximab" in the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomide Eugia works

Lenalidomide Eugia works by affecting the functioning of the immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. The medicine works in several different 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 Lenalidomide Eugia

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

When not to take Lenalidomide Eugia:

  • If the patient is pregnant, suspects pregnancy, or plans to become pregnant, because it is expected that Lenalidomide Eugia is harmful to the unborn child(see section 2, "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraceptives - information for women and men").
  • If the patient may become pregnant, unless all required pregnancy prevention measures are taken (see section 2, "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraceptives - information for women and men"). If the patient may become pregnant, the doctor will always make a note when prescribing the medicine that the necessary measures have been taken and will inform the patient about it.
  • If the patient is allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). In case of suspected allergy, you should consult a doctor.

If any of these points apply to the patient, they should not take Lenalidomide Eugia. In case of doubts, you should consult a doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting Lenalidomide Eugia, you should discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:

  • the patient has a history of blood clots - this means an increased risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment
  • the patient has any symptoms of infection, such as cough or fever
  • the patient currently has or has had a viral infection, especially chickenpox and shingles, hepatitis B, HIV. In case of doubts, you should consult a doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide Eugia may cause the reactivation of viruses in patients who have been infected in the past, leading to the recurrence of the infection. The doctor will check if the patient has had hepatitis B in the past.
  • the patient has kidney problems - the doctor may adjust the dose of lenalidomide
  • the patient has had a heart attack, has ever had a blood clot, smokes, has high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels
  • the patient has had allergic reactions when taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing
  • the patient has had a combination of any of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzyme levels, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes - these are symptoms of a severe skin reaction called Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) or "drug hypersensitivity syndrome" (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").

If any of the above applies to the patient, they should consult a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment.

Tests and examinations

Before and during treatment with Lenalidomide Eugia, the patient will undergo regular blood tests, as Lenalidomide Eugia may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells that help fight infection (white blood cells) and help blood clot (platelets). The doctor will call the patient for blood tests:

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

Before starting treatment with lenalidomide and during treatment, the patient may undergo an assessment for circulation and breathing problems. Patients with MDS taking Lenalidomide Eugia If the patient has myelodysplastic syndromes, there is an increased chance of developing a severe disease called acute myeloid leukemia. Additionally, it is not known how Lenalidomide Eugia affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, the doctor may perform tests and check for signs that will help better predict the risk of acute myeloid leukemia during treatment with Lenalidomide Eugia. Patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Eugia. The doctor will ask for a blood test:

  • 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 contained in section 3 "Treatment cycle")
  • then at the beginning of each cycle and
  • at least once a month.

Patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Eugia. The doctor will ask for a blood test:

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

The doctor may perform a test to check if the patient has a large amount of tumor tissue in the body, including bone marrow. This may lead to a situation where the tumor tissue begins to die and causes abnormal growth of various substances in the blood, which can lead to kidney failure (a condition called tumor lysis syndrome). The doctor may perform a test to check if the patient has skin changes, such as red spots or rash. The doctor may change the dose of Lenalidomide Eugia or stop treatment based on the results of the patient's blood tests and overall condition. If the disease is newly diagnosed, the doctor may also assess treatment based on the patient's age and other diseases that may have occurred in the past.

Blood donation

During treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment, the patient should not donate blood.

Children and adolescents

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

Elderly and patients with kidney problems

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.
