1. What is Lenalidomide G.L. and what is it used for

What is Lenalidomide G.L.

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

What is Lenalidomide G.L. used for

Lenalidomide G.L. 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 eliminate the signs and symptoms of the disease. We call this "remission". Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma — in patients after bone marrow transplantation In this indication, Lenalidomide G.L. is used without other medicines in maintenance treatment after achieving an appropriate condition after transplantation. Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation treatment Lenalidomide G.L. is taken with other medicines, including:

• a chemotherapy medicine called "bortezomib";
• an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone";
• a chemotherapy medicine called "melphalan" and
• a medicine that suppresses the activity of the immune system called "prednisone". The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Lenalidomide G.L. 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 received previous treatment Lenalidomide G.L. is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone". Lenalidomide may slow down 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 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 G.L. is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients who have been diagnosed with MDS, provided that 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 an abnormality in bone marrow cells called "isolated cytogenetic 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 not sufficiently effective.

Taking Lenalidomide G.L. may lead to an increase in the number of healthy red 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)

MCL is a cancer 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 G.L. 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 G.L. is taken with another medicine called "rituximab" in the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomide G.L. works

Lenalidomide G.L. 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 Lenalidomide G.L.

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

When not to take Lenalidomide G.L.:

• If the patient is pregnant, suspects they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child , as it is expected that Lenalidomide G.L. 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 they use all required contraceptive measures (see "Contraception"). 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 your doctor.

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

Warnings and precautions

Before starting Lenalidomide G.L., you should discuss with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if the patient:

• has had blood clots in the past - this means an increased risk of forming blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment;
• has symptoms of infection, such as cough or fever;
• has a current or past viral infection, especially chickenpox and shingles, hepatitis B, HIV. In case of doubts, you should consult your doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide G.L. may cause the reactivation of viruses in previously infected patients, leading to the recurrence of the infection. The doctor will check if the patient has had hepatitis B in the past;
• has kidney disease - the doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomide G.L.;
• has had a heart attack (myocardial infarction), has had a blood clot, smokes, has high blood pressure, or has high cholesterol levels;
• has had allergic reactions when taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing;
• has had a combination of any of the following symptoms in the past: widespread rash, redness of the skin, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), enlarged 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 the patient, they should consult their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. If at any time during or after treatment the patient experiences:

• vision disturbances, loss of vision, or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness of the arm or leg, change in gait or balance disturbances, persistent headache, decreased sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or disorientation, they should immediately inform their doctor or nurse. These may be symptoms of a severe and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If the patient has had such symptoms before treatment with Lenalidomide G.L., they should inform their doctor about any changes.
• shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, or swelling of the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a severe condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations

Before and during treatment with Lenalidomide G.L., the patient will undergo regular blood tests, as Lenalidomide G.L. 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 order 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, the patient may undergo an assessment to detect circulation and breathing problems. Patients with MDS taking Lenalidomide G.L. If the patient has myelodysplastic syndromes, there is an increased risk of developing a severe disease called acute myeloid leukemia. Additionally, it is not known how Lenalidomide G.L. 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 G.L. Patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide G.L. 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.

Patients with FL taking Lenalidomide G.L. 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 can lead to a situation where the tumor tissue begins to die and causes an abnormal increase in the concentration 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 adjust the dose of Lenalidomide G.L. or interrupt 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 G.L. is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Elderly and patients with kidney disease

If the patient is 75 years old or older, or has moderate to severe kidney disease, the doctor will perform thorough tests before starting treatment.

Lenalidomide G.L. 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 G.L. may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Lenalidomide G.L. In particular, the patient should inform their doctor or nurse if they are taking:

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