1. What is Linorion and what is it used for
Linorion contains the active substance "lenalidomide". This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the immune system.
Linorion is used in adult patients to treat:
- multiple myeloma,
- myelodysplastic syndromes,
- 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 remove the signs and symptoms of the disease. We call this "remission".
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma — in patients after bone marrow transplantation
In this indication, Linorion is used alone 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
Linorion 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 immune system called "prednisone". The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Linorion 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.
Multple myeloma – in patients who have received previous treatment
Linorion is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called "dexamethasone".
Linorion 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.
Linorion is used alone 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 genetic 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 insufficient.
Taking Linorion 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.
FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA (FL)
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 a patient with FL, there may be an accumulation of too many B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Linorion is taken together with another medicine called "rituximab" in the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
HOW LINORION WORKS
Linorion 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 Linorion
Before starting treatment with Linorion, you should carefully read the leaflets of all medicinal products taken in combination with Linorion.
When not to take Linorion:
- as it is expected that Linorion will 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 you, you should not take Linorion. In case of doubts, you should consult your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting Linorion, you should discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you:
- have had blood clots in the past - this means an increased risk of forming blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment;
- have any symptoms of infection, such as cough or fever;
- have a current or past viral infection, especially chickenpox and shingles, hepatitis B, HIV. In case of doubts, you should consult your doctor. Treatment with Linorion may cause the reactivation of viruses in patients who have been infected in the past, leading to the recurrence of the infection. Your doctor will check if you have had hepatitis B in the past.
- have kidney problems - your doctor may adjust the dose of Linorion;
- have had a heart attack, have had a blood clot, if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels;
- have had allergic reactions when taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing;
- 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, elevated 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 apply to you, you should consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment.
You should immediately inform your doctor or nurse if you experience any of the following at any time during or after treatment:
- vision disturbances, loss of vision, or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness of the arm or leg, change in walking 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 Linorion, you should inform your 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 Linorion, you will have regular blood tests, as Linorion may cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells that fight infection and platelets that help blood clotting. Your doctor will call you for 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 circulation and breathing problems.
Patient with MDS taking Linorion
If you have myelodysplastic syndromes, there is an increased chance of developing a severe disease called acute myeloid leukemia. Additionally, it is not known how Linorion affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, your doctor may perform tests and check for signs that will help predict the risk of acute myeloid leukemia during treatment with Linorion.
Patient with FL taking Linorion
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:
- before treatment,
- every week for the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment,
- then every 2 weeks in cycles from 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.
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 Linorion 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 conditions that may have occurred in the past.
Blood donation
During treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment, you should not donate blood.
Children and adolescents
Linorion is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly 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.
Linorion and other medicines
You should tell your doctor or nurse about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take. This is necessary because Linorion may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Linorion.
In particular, you should inform your doctor or nurse if you are 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.
