1. What is Lenalidomide Sun and what is it used for
What isLenalidomide Sun
Lenalidomide Sun contains the active substance “lenalidomide”. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect how the immune system works.
What isLenalidomide Sunused 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 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 medicine 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 taking 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 along 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. 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 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 your body produces 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 (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 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.
HowLenalidomide Sunworks
Lenalidomide works by affecting the body's immune system and directly attacking cancer. 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 Sun
You must read the package leaflet of all medicines you are going to take in combination with Lenalidomide Sun before you start treatment with this medicine.
Do not takeLenalidomide Sun:
- 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 use effective contraception (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, talk to your doctor.
If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take lenalidomide. If in doubt, talk to your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you start takingLenalidomide Sunif:
- 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, talk to your doctor. Treatment with lenalidomide may cause the virus to become active again, in patients who carry the virus, leading 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) enlarged lymph nodes (these are symptoms 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:
- 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 and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because lenalidomide 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 Sun
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 Sun
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);
- then at the start of each cycle and
- at least once a month.
For patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Sun
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);
- then 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 tumors break down and produce unusual levels of chemicals in the blood, which 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 rash.
Your doctor may adjust your 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 people and people 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 Sun
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. Also, 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.
