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

What Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is

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

What Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used for

This medicine is used in adults for:

• Multiple myeloma
• Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
• Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
• Follicular lymphoma (FL)

Multiple myeloma

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

Multiple myeloma is generally not curable. However, signs and symptoms can be greatly reduced or may disappear for a period of time. This is known as “remission”.

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

Lenalidomida Kern Pharma is used as maintenance treatment after adequate recovery from a bone marrow transplant.

2. What you need to know before starting Lenalidomida Kern Pharma

You must read the package leaflet of all the medicines you will be taking in combination with lenalidomide before starting treatment.

Do not take Lenalidomida Kern Pharma:

• if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, as lenalidomide is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception: information for women and men”).
• if you are able to become pregnant, unless you follow all necessary measures to prevent pregnancy (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception: information for women and men”). If you are able to become pregnant, your doctor will document with each prescription that all necessary precautions have been taken and will provide you with this confirmation.
• if you are allergic to lenalidomide or to 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

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting lenalidomide if:

• you have ever had blood clots; during treatment, your risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries is increased
• 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, or 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 may lead to a recurrence of the infection. Your doctor should check whether you have ever had hepatitis B infection.
• you have kidney problems; your doctor may adjust your dose of lenalidomide
• you have had a heart attack, have previously had a blood clot, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels
• you have had an allergic reaction while taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing problems
• you have previously experienced a combination of any of the following symptoms:

widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), swollen lymph nodes (signs of a serious 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, inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience:

• blurred vision, loss of vision, double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in one arm or leg, a change in the way you walk or problems with balance, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or confusion. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially fatal brain disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you have any of these symptoms before starting treatment with lenalidomide, inform your doctor if you notice any changes in these symptoms.
• shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, faster heartbeat, or swelling in your legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition known as pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Analysis and tests

Before starting treatment with lenalidomida and during treatment, you will have regular blood tests. This is because lenalidomida can cause a decrease in blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and in those involved in blood clotting (platelets).

Your doctor will request that you have blood tests:

• before starting treatment
• weekly during the first 8 weeks of treatment
• thereafter, at least once a month.

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

For patients with MDS taking lenalidomide

If you have MDS, you may be more likely to develop a more advanced condition called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, it is unknown how lenalidomide affects the chances of developing AML. Therefore, your doctor may perform blood tests to detect signs that could better predict the possibility of developing AML during treatment with this medicine.

For patients with MCL taking lenalidomide

Your doctor will request that you have a blood test:

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

For patients with FL taking lenalidomide

Your doctor will request that you have a blood test:

• before starting treatment
• weekly during the first 3 weeks (1 cycle) of treatment
• then every 2 weeks during cycles 2 to 4 (see section 3, “Treatment cycle,” for more information)
• after this, at the beginning of each cycle and
• at least once a month.

Your doctor may check whether you have a high total tumor burden in the body, including in the bone marrow. This could lead to a condition in which tumors break down and release unusual levels of chemicals into the blood, which in turn may 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 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 pre-existing conditions.

Blood donation

You must not donate blood during treatment or for at least 7 days after treatment has ended.

Children and adolescents

The use of lenalidomide is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Elderly patients and patients with renal problems

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

Other medicines and Lenalidomida Kern Pharma

Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines. This is because lenalidomida may affect how other medicines work. In addition, some medicines may affect how lenalidomida works.

Specifically, 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 adverse effects

Like all medicines, Lenalidomida Kern Pharma can cause adverse effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following adverse effects – you may require urgent medical treatment:
