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

What Lenalidomide Krka is
Lenalidomide Krka contains the active substance “lenalidomide”. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the functioning of the immune system.
What Lenalidomide Krka is used for
Lenalidomide Krka is used in adults for:

  • Multiple myeloma
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes
  • Mantle cell lymphoma
  • Follicular lymphoma

Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a certain type of white blood cells called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably. This can damage the bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally incurable. However, signs and symptoms can be significantly reduced or disappear for a certain period. This outcome is called a “response”.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomide Krka is used alone as maintenance therapy in patients who have adequately recovered after bone marrow transplant.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: in patients who cannot undergo bone marrow transplant
Lenalidomide Krka is taken with other medicines, which may include:

  • a chemotherapy medicine called “bortezomib”.
  • an anti-inflammatory medicine called “dexamethasone”.
  • a chemotherapy medicine called “melphalan”, and
  • an immunosuppressive medicine called “prednisone”. You will take these other medicines at the beginning of treatment and then continue taking Lenalidomide Krka alone.

If you are 75 years of age or older or have moderate to severe kidney problems, your doctor will closely monitor you before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma: in patients previously treated
Lenalidomide Krka is taken together with an anti-inflammatory medicine called “dexamethasone”.
Lenalidomide Krka can stop the worsening of signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma. It has also been shown to delay the return of multiple myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
MDS are a group of different blood and bone marrow diseases. Blood cells become abnormal and do not function properly. Patients may experience various signs and symptoms, including a low number of red blood cells (anaemia), the need for blood transfusions, and risk of infection.
Lenalidomide Krka alone is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS who meet all of the following conditions:

  • if they require regular blood transfusions to treat low levels of red blood cells (“transfusion-dependent anaemia”)
  • if they have an abnormality in bone marrow cells called “isolated del(5q) cytogenetic abnormality”. This means that their body does not produce enough healthy blood cells
  • if previous treatments have not been suitable or have not been effective enough.

Lenalidomide Krka can increase the number of healthy red blood cells produced by the body, reducing the number of abnormal cells:

  • this may reduce the number of blood transfusions needed. You may no longer require any transfusions.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
MCL is a cancer of part of the immune system (lymphatic tissue). It affects a type of white blood cells called B-lymphocytes, or B-cells. In MCL, B-lymphocytes grow uncontrollably and accumulate in lymphatic tissue, bone marrow, or blood.
Lenalidomide Krka is used alone to treat adult patients previously treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
FL is a slow-growing form of cancer that affects B-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells that help the body fight infections. In FL, an excessive number of these B-lymphocytes may accumulate in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Lenalidomide Krka is taken together with another medicine called “rituximab” for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
How Lenalidomide Krka works
Lenalidomide Krka acts on the body's immune system and directly on the tumour in several ways:

  • by stopping the development of tumour cells
  • by stopping the growth of blood vessels that supply blood to tumour cells
  • by stimulating part of the immune system so that it attacks tumour cells.

2. What you should know before taking Lenalidomide Krka

Before starting treatment with Lenalidomide Krka, you must read the package leaflet of all
medicines that you are required to take in combination with Lenalidomide Krka.
Do not take Lenalidomide Krka

  • If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or if you are planning a pregnancy, because Lenalidomide Krka is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby (see section 2, 'Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men').
  • If there is any possibility that you may become pregnant unless you follow all necessary measures to avoid pregnancy (see section 2 'Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men'). If there is any possibility of becoming pregnant, your doctor will record and confirm at each prescription that the necessary measures to prevent pregnancy have been taken.
  • If you are allergic to lenalidomide or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you are allergic, consult your doctor.

If any of these conditions apply to you, do not take Lenalidomide Krka. If you have any doubts, consult your
doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Lenalidomide Krka if:

  • you have previously experienced episodes of blood clots, as the risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries increases during treatment
  • you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever
  • you currently have or have previously had a viral infection, particularly: hepatitis B infection, varicella-zoster, or HIV. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor. Treatment with Lenalidomide Krka may cause reactivation of the virus in patients who carry the virus, leading to recurrence of the infection. Your doctor must check whether you have previously had a hepatitis B infection
  • you have kidney problems – your doctor may adjust the dose of Lenalidomide Krka
  • you have had a heart attack, blood clots, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels
  • you have previously had an allergic reaction during treatment with thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing
  • you have previously experienced any combination of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased liver enzymes, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), or swollen lymph nodes; these are 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 these 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, changes in walking or balance problems, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or confusion. These may be symptoms of a serious brain condition that can be fatal, known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you had these symptoms before treatment with Lenalidomide Krka, inform your doctor of any changes in these symptoms.
  • you experience shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or swelling in the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition known as pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and monitoring
Before and during treatment with Lenalidomide Krka, you will undergo regular blood tests.
This is because Lenalidomide Krka may cause a reduction in blood cells that protect you
against infections (white blood cells) and those that help blood clot (platelets). Your
doctor will ask you to have blood tests:

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

You may be evaluated for signs of cardiopulmonary problems before and during treatment
with lenalidomide.
For patients with MDS taking Lenalidomide Krka
If you have MDS, you have a higher risk of developing a more advanced disease called
acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Furthermore, the role of Lenalidomide Krka in the risk of
developing AML is not known. Your doctor may request certain tests to monitor signs that
could more accurately predict your risk of developing AML during treatment with
Lenalidomide Krka.
For patients with MCL taking Lenalidomide Krka
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

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

For patients with FL taking Lenalidomide Krka
Your doctor will ask you to have a blood test:

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

Your doctor may check whether you have a high tumour burden throughout the body, including in the bone
marrow. This could lead to a condition in which tumours break down and cause abnormally high levels of
chemicals in the blood, which may result in kidney failure (this condition is called “tumour lysis syndrome”).
Your doctor may monitor for skin changes, such as red spots or rashes.
Your doctor may decide to adjust the dose of Lenalidomide Krka or stop treatment depending on the results of blood tests and your general condition. If you are a newly diagnosed patient, your doctor may also consider treatment based on your age and other pre-existing conditions.
Blood donation
You must not donate blood during treatment with lenalidomide and for at least 7 days after
stopping treatment.
Children and adolescents
The use of Lenalidomide Krka is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly and patients with kidney problems
In patients aged 75 years or older, or with moderate or severe kidney problems, your doctor
will perform careful monitoring before starting treatment.
Other medicines and Lenalidomide Krka
Inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other
medicines. This is because Lenalidomide Krka may affect the action of other
medicines and other medicines may affect the action of Lenalidomide Krka.
In particular, inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • certain medicines used to prevent pregnancy, such as oral contraceptives, because they may become less effective
  • certain medicines used for heart problems, such as digoxin
  • certain medicines used to thin the blood, such as warfarin.

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
Stop taking Lenalidomide Krka and contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the
following serious side effects – urgent medical treatment may be required:

  • Hives, skin rash, swelling of the eyes, mouth or face, difficulty breathing or itching, which may be symptoms of serious types of allergic reactions called angioedema and anaphylactic reaction.
  • Severe allergic reaction, which may start as a rash in one area but spreads with extensive skin loss over 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 involvement of other organs (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, also known as DRESS or drug hypersensitivity syndrome). See also section 2.

cells that help blood clot (platelets), which may lead to bleeding disorders such as nosebleeds and
bruising. Lenalidomide Krka may also cause blood clots in the veins (thrombosis).
Other side effects
