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

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

Lenalidomide Mylan is used in adults to:

  • Multple myeloma
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes
  • Mantle cell lymphoma
  • 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 Mylan is used as maintenance treatment after recovery from a bone marrow transplant.

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

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

Lenalidomide Mylan can delay 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 Mylan is used to treat adult patients 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 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 Mylan can increase the number of healthy red blood cells produced by the body by reducing the number of abnormal cells:

  • this can 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 (lymphatic 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 lymphatic tissue, bone marrow, or blood.

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

How Lenalidomide Mylan works

Lenalidomide Mylan works by affecting the 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 Mylan

You must read the summary of product characteristics of all medicines you are going to take in combination with Lenalidomide Mylan before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Mylan.

Do not take Lenalidomide Mylan

  • if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, as Lenalidomide Mylan is expected to be harmful to the fetus(see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception: information for women and men”);
  • if you can become pregnant, unless you follow all the necessary measures to prevent it (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding, 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 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 Mylan. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting Lenalidomide Mylan 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 Mylan 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 Mylan;
  • 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 a 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 these conditions apply to you, inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment.

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

  • have 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 can 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, tell your doctor if you notice any change in these symptoms.
  • have shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, chest pain, faster heart rate, or swelling in the legs or ankles. These can be symptoms of a serious condition called pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations

Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Mylan and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because Lenalidomide Mylan can 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 Mylan

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 Mylan.

For patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Mylan

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;
  • at least once a month.

For patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Mylan

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 condition in which the tumors break down and produce unusual levels of chemicals in the blood that can cause kidney failure (this condition is called “tumor lysis syndrome”).

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

Your doctor may adjust your dose of Lenalidomide Mylan 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 Mylan is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years.

Elderly 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 Mylan

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

This is because Lenalidomide Mylan can affect how other medicines work. Additionally, some medicines can affect how Lenalidomide Mylan 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.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medications, Lenalidomida Mylan can cause side effects, although not all people experience them.

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop treatment with Lenalidomida Mylan and seek medical attention immediately, as you may require 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 of the body (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS or drug hypersensitivity syndrome). See also section 2.
