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

What is Lenalidomida Stada

Lenalidomida Stada contains the active substance lenalidomide. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect how the immune system works.

What Lenalidomida Stada is used for

Lenalidomida Stada 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 a "remission".

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

Lenalidomide 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 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".

Lenalidomida Stada 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.

Lenalidomida Stada 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 the body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
  • other treatments used previously are not suitable or do not work well enough.

Lenalidomida Stada 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. It is possible that no blood transfusions will be needed.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)

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

Lenalidomida Stada is used alone to treat adult patients who have previously received other treatments.

Follicular lymphoma (FL)

FL is a slow-growing cancer that affects B cells. 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 cells in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.

Lenalidomida Stada is used with another medicine called "rituximab" to treat adult patients who have previously received treatment for follicular lymphoma.

How Lenalidomida Stada works

Lenalidomida Stada 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 Lenalidomida Stada

You must read the summary of product characteristics of all medicines you are going to take in combination with lenalidomide before starting treatment with Lenalidomida Stada

Do not take Lenalidomida Stada:

  • 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, 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 record 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

Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you start taking Lenalidomida Stada if:

  • you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have a higher risk of developing blood clots in the veins and arteries;
  • you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever;
  • you have or have previously had a viral infection, especially hepatitis B, varicella-zoster, 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 recurrence 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 or drug hypersensitivity syndrome) (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").

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, tell 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, tell 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 involved in blood clotting (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 Lenalidomida Stada

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 perform tests to detect signs that may predict a higher chance of developing AML during treatment with lenalidomide.

For patients with MCL taking Lenalidomida Stada

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 Lenalidomida Stada

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, which 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 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

The use of lenalidomide is not recommended 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 Lenalidomida Stada

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.

4. Possible Side Effects

Like all medications, lenalidomida 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 Seek Medical Attention Immediately, as you may Require Emergency 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, elevated 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.
