1. What is Lenalidomide Teva and what is it used for
What is Lenalidomide Teva
Lenalidomide Teva contains the active substance "lenalidomide". This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the immune system.
What is Lenalidomide Teva used for
Lenalidomide Teva 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 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 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 Teva is used without other medicines as maintenance treatment after achieving a suitable condition after transplantation.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation treatment
Lenalidomide Teva is taken with other medicines, including:
- a chemotherapy medicine called "bortezomib";
- an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone";
- a chemotherapy medicine called "melphalan" and
- an immunosuppressant called "prednisone". The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Lenalidomide Teva 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 Teva is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Lenalidomide Teva 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 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 Teva is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients with MDS, 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 used other treatments that have proven to be ineffective or insufficient.
Taking Lenalidomide Teva 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)
MCL is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphoid tissue). It affects a 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 Teva is used as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients who have previously been treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Follicular lymphoma (FL) 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 patients with FL, there may be an accumulation of too many B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Lenalidomide Teva is taken with another medicine called "rituximab" in the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomide Teva works
Lenalidomide Teva 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 Teva
Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, read the leaflets of all medicinal products taken in combination with Lenalidomide Teva.
When not to take Lenalidomide Teva:
- as Lenalidomide Teva is expected to be harmful to the unborn child(see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception - information for women and men");
If any of these points apply to the patient, do not take Lenalidomide Teva. In case of doubts, consult a doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting Lenalidomide Teva, discuss with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:
- the patient has a history of blood clots - this means an increased risk of forming 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 infection. In case of doubts, consult a doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide Teva 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;
- the patient has kidney problems - the doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomide Teva;
- 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 symptoms 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 in the past: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzyme activity, 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 points apply to the patient, consult a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
Tell your doctor or nurse immediately if, at any time during or after treatment, the patient experiences:
- vision disturbances, loss of vision, or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in the arm or leg, change in walking or balance disturbances, persistent numbness, decreased sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or disorientation. These may be symptoms of a severe and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If the patient had such symptoms before treatment with Lenalidomide Teva, they should inform their doctor about any changes;
- shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heart rate, 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 Lenalidomide Teva, the patient will have regular blood tests, as Lenalidomide Teva 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 Teva
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 Teva 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 Teva.
Patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Teva
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 Teva
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 in the bone marrow. This can 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 if the patient has skin changes, such as red spots or rash.
The doctor may change the dose of Lenalidomide Teva 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 must not donate blood.
Children and adolescents
Lenalidomide Teva is not recommended for 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.
Lenalidomide Teva and other medicines
Tell your doctor or nurse about all medicines the patient is taking or has recently taken. This is necessary because Lenalidomide Teva may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Lenalidomide Teva.
In particular, inform your doctor or nurse if the patient is taking:
- certain contraceptive medicines, such as oral contraceptives, as they may stop working;
- certain medicines used for heart problems - such as digoxin;
- certain medicines used to thin the blood - such as warfarin.

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, Lenalidomide Teva can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
If any of the following severe side effects occur, stop taking Lenalidomide Teva and consult your doctor immediately – immediate treatment may be necessary:
- 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 entire body, accompanied by a significant loss of the top layer of the skin (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis);
- widespread rash, high body temperature, elevated liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes, and involvement of other organs (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS or "drug hypersensitivity syndrome"). See also section 2.
