1. What Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is and what it is used for
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi contains the active substance "lenalidomide". This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the immune system.
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi 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 affects 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 damage and kidney damage.
Multiple myeloma is essentially incurable. However, it is possible to achieve temporary significant relief or removal of the signs and symptoms of the disease. This is called "remission".
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma - in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant
In this indication, after achieving a suitable post-transplant state, Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is used as maintenance therapy without other medicines.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma - in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplant treatment
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is used in combination with other medicines, including:
- 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 treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi alone.
If the patient is 75 years or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough tests before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma - in patients who have received previous treatment
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is used in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi 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 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.
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, if all of the following conditions are met:
- the patient has a low number of red blood cells and needs 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 been treated with other methods that have proven ineffective or insufficient.
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi 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 reduction in the number of blood transfusions required. It is possible that transfusions will no longer be needed.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
Mantle cell lymphoma is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphoid tissue).
It affects 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 Fresenius Kabi is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients who have previously been treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing malignant cancer that affects B lymphocytes.
It is a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections.
In a patient with follicular lymphoma, there may be an accumulation of too many B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is taken in combination with another medicine called "rituximab" in the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi works
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi works by affecting 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 Fresenius Kabi
Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi, you should carefully read the leaflets of all medicines taken in combination with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi.
When not to take Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi:
- If the patient is pregnant, suspects pregnancy, or plans to become pregnant, as it is suspected that Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi is harmful to the unborn child(see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - information for women and men").
- If the patient may become pregnant, unless all required contraceptive measures are taken (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - 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 ask your doctor for advice.
If any of these points apply to the patient, they should not take Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi.
In case of doubts, the patient should consult a doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi, the patient should discuss with their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:
- they have a history of blood clots - which means an increased risk of blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment;
- they have any symptoms of infection, such as cough or fever;
- they have a current or past viral infection, especially chickenpox and shingles, hepatitis B, HIV.
In case of doubts, the patient should consult a doctor.
Treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi may cause reactivation of viruses in patients who have been infected in the past, leading to recurrence of the infection.
The doctor will check if the patient has had hepatitis B in the past.
Tests and examinations
Before and during treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi, the patient will undergo regular blood tests, as Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells that fight infection (white blood cells) and help blood clotting (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.
Patient with myelodysplastic syndromes taking Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi
If the patient has myelodysplastic syndromes, there is an increased risk of developing a serious disease called acute myeloid leukemia.
Additionally, it is not known how Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukemia.
Therefore, the doctor may perform tests to check for signs that can better predict the risk of acute myeloid leukemia during treatment with Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi.
Patient with mantle cell lymphoma taking Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi
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 provided in section 3 "Treatment cycle"),
- then at the beginning of each cycle and
- at least once a month.
Patient with follicular lymphoma taking Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi
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 provided 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 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).
The doctor may perform a test to check for skin changes, such as red spots or rash.
The doctor may change the dose of Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi 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 conditions 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 Fresenius Kabi is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly patients and patients with kidney problems
If the patient is 75 years or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough tests before starting treatment.
Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi and other medicines
The patient should tell their doctor or nurse about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken.
This is necessary because Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi may affect the action of other medicines.
Other medicines may also affect the action of Lenalidomide Fresenius Kabi.
In particular, the patient should inform their doctor or nurse if they are taking:
