1. What is Lenalidomida Kern Pharma and what is it used for

What is Lenalidomida Kern Pharma

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

What Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used forLenalidomida Kern Pharma

This medicine is used in adults for:

  • Multiple myeloma
  • Myleodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
  • Follicular lymphoma

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cell 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 is usually incurable. However, the symptoms and signs can be significantly reduced or disappear for a period of time. This is called “remission”.

Multiple myeloma: newly diagnosed patients: after stem cell transplantation

Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used as maintenance treatment after recovering adequately from a stem cell transplant.

Multiple myeloma: newly diagnosed patients: who cannot undergo stem cell transplantation

This medicine 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 this medicine only.

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: previously treated patients

This medicine 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.

Myleodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

MDS is a group of many different blood and bone marrow diseases. Blood cells become abnormal and do not function correctly. Patients may experience a variety of symptoms, including low red blood cell count (anemia), the need for blood transfusions, and the risk of infection.

Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS, when all the following points are applicable:

  • You need periodic blood transfusions to treat low red blood cell levels (“anemia-dependent transfusions”);
  • You have a bone marrow cell anomaly called “isolated deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality”. This means your body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
  • Other treatments you have used previously are not suitable or do not work well enough.

Lenalidomida Kern Pharma 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. It may be possible to avoid transfusions.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)

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

Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used in monotherapy 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 store too many of these B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.

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

How Lenalidomida Kern Pharma works

This medicineacts 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 Lenalidomida Kern Pharma

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

Do not takeLenalidomida Kern Pharma:

  • if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or intend to become pregnant,since lenalidomida 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 avoid 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 will provide you with this confirmation.
  • if you are allergic to lenalidomida or to any of the other components of this medicine (included in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor.

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

Warnings and precautions

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

  • you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, you have a higher risk of presenting blood clots in 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 virus carriers. 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 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 for example 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 for its English acronym 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 done 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
  • later, at least every month.

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

For patients with MDS who takelenalidomida

If you have MDS, you may be more prone to developing a more advanced disease called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Additionally, it is unknown how lenalidomida affects the chances of developing AML. Your doctor may perform tests to detect signs that may better predict the likelihood of developing AML during treatment with this medicine.

For patients with MM who takelenalidomida

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

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

For patients with FL who takelenalidomida

Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

  • before treatment
  • every week during the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment
  • later, every 2 weeks in cycles 2 to 4 (see section 3 “Treatment cycle” for more information)
  • then, at the beginning 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 your lenalidomida dose or interrupt your treatment, depending on the results of your blood tests and your overall condition. If you are a new diagnosis 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

The use of lenalidomida is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years old.

Older people and people with kidney problems

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

Other medicines andLenalidomida Kern Pharma

Inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have taken recently or may have to take any other medicine. This is because lenalidomida may affect the way other medicines work. Additionally, 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 to treat heart problems, such as digoxin
  • some medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin.
