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

What is Lenalidomide Aurovitas

Lenalidomide Aurovitas contains the active substance “lenalidomide”. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect how the immune system works.

What Lenalidomide Aurovitas is used for

Lenalidomide is used in adults to:

  • Multple myeloma
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
  • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
  • Follicular lymphoma

Multple myeloma

Multple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cell called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and multiply out of control. This can damage the bones and kidneys.

Multple myeloma usually has no cure. However, the signs and symptoms can be greatly reduced or may disappear for a period of time. This is called “remission”.

Newly diagnosed multple myeloma: in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant

Lenalidomide is used as maintenance treatment after recovering adequately from a bone marrow transplant.

Newly diagnosed multple myeloma: in patients who cannot be treated with a bone marrow transplant

Lenalidomide is taken with other medicines, including:

  • a chemotherapy medicine called “bortezomib”
  • an anti-inflammatory called “dexamethasone”
  • a chemotherapy medicine called “melphalan” and
  • an immunosuppressant called “prednisone”

You will take these medicines at the start of treatment and then continue to take lenalidomide alone.

If you are 75 years or older, or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will monitor you closely before starting treatment.

Multple myeloma: in patients previously treated

Lenalidomide is taken with an anti-inflammatory called “dexamethasone”.

Lenalidomide may slow down the worsening of multple myeloma symptoms. It has also been shown to delay the return of multple myeloma after treatment.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

MDS are a group of many different blood and bone marrow disorders. The blood cells become abnormal and do not work properly. Patients may experience a variety of signs and symptoms including low red blood cell count (anemia), the need for blood transfusions, and the risk of infection.

Lenalidomide is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS, when all of the following apply:

  • need regular blood transfusions to treat low red blood cell counts (“transfusion-dependent anemia”)
  • have a bone marrow cell abnormality called “isolated deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality”. This means that your body does not produce enough healthy blood cells.
  • other treatments you have used before are not suitable or do not work well enough.

Lenalidomide may increase the number of healthy red blood cells produced by the body by reducing the number of abnormal cells:

  • this may reduce the number of blood transfusions needed. You may not need transfusions at all.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)

MCL is a cancer of a part of the immune system (lymph tissue). It affects a type of white blood cell called “B lymphocytes” or B cells. MCL is a disease in which B cells grow out of control and accumulate in lymph tissue, bone marrow, or blood.

Lenalidomide is used alone to treat adult patients who have received previous treatment with other medicines.

Follicular lymphoma (FL)

FL is a slow-growing cancer that affects B lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. When a person has FL, they may have too many of these B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.

Lenalidomide is used with another medicine called “rituximab” to treat adult patients who have received previous treatment for follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomide Aurovitas works

Lenalidomide works by affecting the body's immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. It works in several ways:

  • stops the growth of cancer cells
  • stops the growth of blood vessels in the cancer
  • stimulates part of the immune system to attack cancer cells

2. What you need to know before you take Lenalidomide Aurovitas

You must read the package leaflet of all medicines you are going to take in combination with lenalidomide before starting treatment with this medicine.

Do not take Lenalidomide Aurovitas

  • if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as lenalidomide is expected to be harmful to the fetus (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and contraception: information for women and men”)
  • if you can become pregnant, unless you follow all the necessary measures to avoid it (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and contraception: information for women and men”). If you can become pregnant, your doctor will note with each prescription that all necessary measures have been taken and will provide you with this confirmation.
  • if you are allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.

If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take lenalidomide. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Aurovitas if:

  • you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have a higher risk of getting blood clots in the veins and arteries.
  • you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever.
  • you have or have had a viral infection, especially hepatitis B, varicella-zoster or HIV. If in doubt, consult your doctor. Treatment with lenalidomide may cause the virus to become active again in patients who carry the virus. This can lead to the return of the infection. Your doctor should check if you have ever had a hepatitis B infection.
  • you have kidney problems; your doctor may adjust your dose of lenalidomide.
  • you have had a heart attack, have ever had a blood clot, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels.
  • you have had an allergic reaction while using thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multple myeloma), such as skin rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or breathing problems.
  • you have experienced in the past a combination of any of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, elevated liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes (these are signs of a severe skin reaction called drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS syndrome).

If any of the above conditions apply to you, inform your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting treatment.

At any time, during or after treatment, inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience:

  • blurred vision, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in an arm or leg, a change in the way you walk or balance problems, numbness, decreased sensitivity or loss of sensitivity, memory loss or confusion. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have any of these symptoms before starting treatment with lenalidomide, inform your doctor if you notice any change in these symptoms.
  • shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, chest pain, faster heartbeat or swelling in the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations

Before starting treatment with lenalidomide and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because lenalidomide may cause a decrease in the blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and those that help the blood to clot (platelets).

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

  • before treatment
  • every week, during the first 8 weeks of treatment
  • then, at least every month

You may be evaluated for signs of heart and lung problems before and during treatment with lenalidomide.

For patients with MDS taking lenalidomide

If you have MDS, you may be more likely to develop a more advanced disease called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Additionally, it is not known how lenalidomide affects the chances of developing AML. Your doctor may therefore have you undergo tests to detect signs that may predict a higher chance of developing AML during treatment with lenalidomide.

For patients with MCL taking lenalidomide

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

  • before treatment
  • every week, during the first 8 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment
  • then, every 2 weeks in cycles 3 and 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information)
  • after that, at the start of each cycle and
  • at least once a month

For patients with FL taking lenalidomide

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

  • before treatment
  • every week, during the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment
  • then, every 2 weeks in cycles 2 to 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information)
  • after that, at the start of each cycle and
  • at least every month

Your doctor may check if you have a high total tumor burden in the body, including the bone marrow. This could lead to a disease in which tumors break down and produce unusual levels of chemicals in the blood that can cause kidney failure (this disease is called “tumor lysis syndrome”).

Your doctor may examine you to check for changes in your skin, such as red spots or skin rash.

Your doctor may adjust the dose of lenalidomide or interrupt your treatment, depending on the results of your blood tests and your overall condition. If you are a newly diagnosed patient, your doctor may also evaluate your treatment based on your age and other conditions you may have.

Blood donation

You must not donate blood during treatment or for at least 7 days after the end of treatment.

Children and adolescents

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

Elderly patients and patients with kidney problems

If you are 75 years or older, or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will monitor you closely before starting treatment.

Other medicines and Lenalidomide Aurovitas

Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This is because lenalidomide may affect how other medicines work. Additionally, some medicines may affect how lenalidomide works.

In particular, tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • some medicines used to prevent pregnancy, such as oral contraceptives, as they may stop working
  • some medicines used for heart problems, such as digoxin
  • some medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and contraception: information for women and men

Pregnancy

Women taking lenalidomide

  • you must not take lenalidomide if you are pregnant, as it is expected to be harmful to the fetus
  • you must not become pregnant while taking lenalidomide. You must therefore use effective contraceptive methods if there is a possibility that you may become pregnant (see “Contraception”)
  • if you become pregnant during treatment with lenalidomide, you must stop treatment and inform your doctor immediately

Men taking lenalidomide

  • if your partner becomes pregnant while you are taking lenalidomide, you must inform your doctor immediately. It is recommended that your partner seeks medical advice
  • you must also use effective contraceptive methods (see “Contraception”)

Breast-feeding

You must not breast-feed while taking lenalidomide, as it is not known whether lenalidomide passes into breast milk.

Contraception

For women taking lenalidomide

Before starting treatment, ask your doctor if you are able to become pregnant, even if you think it is unlikely.

If you can become pregnant:

  • you will have pregnancy tests under medical supervision (before each treatment, at least every 4 weeks during treatment and for at least 4 weeks after the end of treatment) unless it has been confirmed that your fallopian tubes have been blocked (tubal ligation)

And

  • you must use effective contraceptive methods from at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, during treatment and until at least 4 weeks after the end of treatment. Your doctor will advise you on the most suitable contraceptive methods

For men taking lenalidomide

Lenalidomide passes into human semen. If your partner is pregnant or may become pregnant and does not use any effective contraceptive method, you must use condoms during treatment and for at least 7 days after the end of treatment, even if you have had a vasectomy. You must not donate semen or sperm during treatment or for at least 7 days after the end of treatment.

Driving and using machines

Do not drive or use machines if you feel dizzy, tired, drowsy, have vertigo or blurred vision after taking lenalidomide.

Lenalidomide Aurovitas contains lactose

This medicine contains lactose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, consult them before taking this medicine.

Lenalidomide Aurovitas contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per capsule; this is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Lenalidomida Aurovitas

Lenalidomida should be administered by a healthcare professional with experience in the treatment of multiple myeloma, MDS, MCL, or FL.

  • When lenalidomida is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients who cannot undergo a bone marrow transplant or have undergone other treatments before, it is taken with other medications (see section 1 "What Lenalidomida Aurovitas is used for").
  • When lenalidomida is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant or to treat patients with MDS or MCL, it is taken alone.
  • When lenalidomida is used to treat follicular lymphoma, it is taken with another medication called "rituximab".

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

If you are taking lenalidomida with other medications, you should consult the package insert of those other medications for additional information on their use and effects.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medications, this medication can cause side effects, although not all people experience them.

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop treatment with lenalidomida and see a doctor immediately, as you may need urgent medical treatment:

  • Hives, rash, swelling of the eyes, mouth, or face, difficulty breathing or itching, which can be symptoms of severe allergic reactions called angioedema and anaphylactic reaction.
  • A severe allergic reaction that can start as a rash in one area but spreads, causing significant skin loss throughout the body (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis).
  • Widespread rash, high body temperature, increased liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes, and effects on other organs (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS or drug hypersensitivity syndrome). See also section 2.

  • Chest pain (thoracic) or leg pain.
  • Difficulty breathing.
  • Bone pain, muscle pain, confusion, or fatigue, which can be due to high calcium levels in the blood.

Lenalidomida can reduce the number of white blood cells that fight infections and also the cells in the blood that help blood to clot (platelets), which can cause bleeding disorders such as nosebleeds and bruising. Lenalidomida can also cause blood clots in the veins (thrombosis).

Other side effects

It is essential to note that a small number of patients may develop other types of cancer, and this risk may increase with treatment with lenalidomida. Therefore, your doctor should carefully evaluate the benefits and risks when prescribing lenalidomida.
