1. What is Lenalidomida Grindeks and what is it used for

What isLenalidomida Grindeks

This medicine contains the active ingredient “lenalidomida”. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect how the immune system works.

What is Lenalidomida Grindeks used forLenalidomida Grindeks

Lenalidomida is used in adults for:

  • Multiple myeloma
  • Follicular lymphoma

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cells in the blood, called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and multiply, becoming uncontrolled. This can damage bones and kidneys.

Multiple myeloma usually does not have a cure. However, the symptoms and signs can be greatly reduced or disappear for a period of time. This is called “remission”.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: in patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplantLenalidomida is used as maintenance treatment after recovering adequately from a bone marrow transplant.

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

Lenalidomida Grindeks is taken with other medicines, including:

  • A chemotherapy medicine called “bortezomib”;
  • An anti-inflammatory called “dexametasona”;
  • A chemotherapy medicine called “melfalán”; and
  • An immunosuppressant called “prednisona”.

You will take these medicines when starting treatment and then continue taking Lenalidomida Grindeks alone.

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

Multiple myeloma: in previously treated patients

Lenalidomida is taken with an anti-inflammatory called “dexametasona”.

Lenalidomida can slow the progression of multiple myeloma symptoms. It has also been shown to delay the recurrence of multiple myeloma after treatment.

Follicular lymphoma (FL)

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

Lenalidomida Grindeks is used with another medicine called “rituximab” in the treatment of adult patients who have received previous treatment for follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomida Grindeks works

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

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

2. What you need to know before starting to take Lenalidomida Grindeks

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

Do not take Lenalidomida Grindeks:

  • if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or intend to become pregnant, as it is expected to be harmful to the fetus (see section 2, “Pregnancy, lactation 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, lactation 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 lenalidomida or to any of the other components of this medicine (including in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.

If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take this medicine. In case of doubt, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting to take Lenalidomidaif:

  • you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have a higher risk of presenting blood clots in the veins and arteries;
  • you have any sign of infection, such as cough or fever;
  • you have or have had previously a viral infection, especially hepatitis B infection, varicella zoster or HIV. In case of doubt, consult your doctor. Treatment with lenalidomida may make the virus become active again in patients who are carriers of the virus. This leads to the reappearance of the infection. Your doctor must check if you have ever had a hepatitis B infection;
  • you have kidney problems; your doctor may adjust your Lenalidomida Grindeks dose;
  • 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 multiple myeloma), such as skin rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or respiratory problems;
  • you have experienced in the past a combination of any of the following symptoms: generalised rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased 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 or drug hypersensitivity syndrome) (see also section 4 “Possible side effects”).

If any of the above alterations 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 one arm or leg, a change in the way you walk or balance problems, persistent numbness, decreased sensitivity or loss of sensitivity, memory loss or confusion. All of them may be symptoms of a severe and potentially fatal brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have any of these symptoms before starting treatment with lenalidomida, inform your doctor if you notice any change in these symptoms.
  • shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, faster heart rate or swelling in the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Analysis and tests

Before starting treatment with Lenalidomida and during the same, blood tests will be performed regularly. This is because Lenalidomida may cause a decrease in the blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and those that participate in coagulation (platelets).

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

  • before treatment;
  • every week, during the first 8 weeks of treatment;
  • subsequently, at least every month.

You may be evaluated to detect signs of cardiopulmonary problems before and during treatment with lenalidomida.

For patients with MM who take Lenalidomida Grindeks

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

before treatment;

every week during the first 3weeks (a cycle) of treatment;

subsequently, every 2 weeks in cycles2-4 (see section3 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 the tumors break down and produce unusual levels of chemical substances in the blood that, in turn, may cause kidney failure (this disease is called “tumor lysis syndrome”).

Your doctor may examine you to check if any changes have occurred in your skin, such as red spots or skin rashes.

Your doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomida 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 any other conditions you already have.

Blood donation

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

Children and adolescents

Lenalidomida is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Older people and people with kidney problems

If you are 75 years of age or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will examine you carefully before starting treatment.

Other medicines and Lenalidomida Grindeks

Inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medicine. This is because Lenalidomida Grindeks may affect the way other medicines work. In addition, some medicines may affect the way Lenalidomida works.

Specifically, inform 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;

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

If you experience any of the following severe side effects, stop taking Lenalidomida Grindeks and seek immediate medical attention because you may require emergency medical treatment:

  • Hives, rashes, swelling of the eyes, mouth, or face, difficulty breathing or itching, which may be symptoms of severe types of allergic reactions calledangioedemaandanaphylactic reaction.
  • A severe allergic reaction that can start as a rash in one area, but spreads with significant skin loss throughout the body (Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis).
  • Generalized rash, high body temperature, increased liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes, and organ damage (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as "DRESS" or "drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome"). See also section2.
