1. What Kleder is and what it is used for

What Kleder is
Kleder contains the active substance lenalidomide. This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that affect the function of the immune system.
What Kleder is used for
Kleder is used in adults to treat:

  • multiple myeloma,
  • myelodysplastic syndromes,
  • mantle cell lymphoma,
  • follicular lymphoma.

Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a certain kind of white blood cells called plasma cells. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably. This may lead to damage of bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally incurable, but it is possible to achieve a temporary significant reduction or disappearance of signs and symptoms of the disease. This is called a “response”.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation
In this indication, Kleder is used alone as maintenance therapy after achieving an adequate response following transplantation.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma – in patients not eligible for stem cell transplantation
Kleder is taken in combination with other medicines. These may include:

  • a chemotherapy medicine called “bortezomib”;
  • an anti-inflammatory medicine called “dexamethasone”;
  • a chemotherapy medicine called “melphalan”; and
  • an immunosuppressive medicine called “prednisone”.
    The patient starts treatment with additional medicines and then continues with Kleder alone.

If the patient is 75 years of age or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough assessments before starting treatment.
Multiple myeloma – in patients who have received prior treatment
Kleder is taken in combination with an anti-inflammatory medicine called “dexamethasone”.
Kleder may stop the progression of signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma. It has also been shown to delay the recurrence of multiple myeloma after treatment.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of different blood and bone marrow disorders. There are abnormal blood cells that do not function properly. Patients may experience various subjective and objective symptoms, including low red blood cell count (anaemia), need for blood transfusions, and risk of infection.
Kleder is used as monotherapy to treat adult patients diagnosed with MDS, if all of the following conditions are met:

  • the patient requires regular blood transfusions due to low red blood cell count (“transfusion-dependent anaemia”);
  • the patient has an abnormality in the bone marrow cells called “isolated cytogenetic abnormality with deletion 5q”. This means the patient’s body does not produce enough healthy blood cells;
  • the patient has previously received other treatments that were inappropriate or not sufficiently effective.

Taking Kleder may lead to an increase in the number of healthy blood cells produced by the body by reducing the number of abnormal cells:

  • this may lead to a reduction in the number of blood transfusions required. It may even become possible to stop transfusions altogether.

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. Mantle cell lymphoma is a disease characterised by uncontrolled growth of B-lymphocytes, leading to their accumulation in lymphatic tissue, bone marrow, or blood.
Kleder is used as monotherapy to treat adult patients who have been previously treated with other medicines.
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a slowly growing malignant cancer affecting B-lymphocytes. These are a type of white blood cells that help the body fight infections. In patients with FL, too many B-lymphocytes may accumulate in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
Kleder is taken together with another medicine called “rituximab” to treat adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma.
How Kleder works
Kleder works by affecting the function of the immune system and directly attacking cancer cells. The medicine works in several different ways:

  • by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells,
  • by inhibiting the development of blood vessels in the tumour,
  • by stimulating part of the immune system to attack cancer cells.

2. Important information before taking Kleder
Before starting treatment with Kleder, carefully read the leaflets of all medicinal products taken in combination with Kleder.
When not to take Kleder:

  • If the patient is pregnant, suspects she is pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, because Kleder is expected to be harmful to the unborn child (see section 2 “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men”).
  • If the patient could become pregnant, unless she uses all required contraceptive measures (see section 2 “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men”). If the patient could become pregnant, the doctor will always document that necessary measures have been taken and confirm this with the patient.
  • If the patient is allergic to lenalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine listed in section 6. If allergy is suspected, consult your doctor for advice.

Do not take Kleder if any of these points apply to you. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting to take Kleder, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:

  • you have previously had blood clots – this means an increased risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries during treatment;
  • you have any signs of infection, such as cough or fever;
  • you currently have or have had in the past a viral infection, particularly hepatitis B virus, varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles), or HIV. If in doubt, consult your doctor. Treatment with Kleder may cause reactivation of the virus in patients who are carriers. This leads to recurrence of infection. Your doctor will check whether you have had hepatitis B in the past;
  • you have kidney problems – your doctor may adjust the dose of Kleder;
  • you have had a heart attack (heart attack), blood clot at any time, if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels;
  • you experienced allergic reactions while taking thalidomide (another medicine used to treat multiple myeloma), such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulties;
  • you have previously experienced a combination of any of the following symptoms: widespread rash, skin redness, high body temperature, flu-like symptoms, increased liver enzyme activity, blood abnormalities (eosinophilia), enlarged lymph nodes – these are symptoms of a severe skin reaction called drug rash 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 apply to you, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
If at any time during or after treatment the patient experiences:

  • vision disturbances, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness of the arm or leg, change in walking or balance disturbances, persistent numbness, reduced sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or disorientation, immediately inform your doctor or nurse. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially fatal brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If the patient had such symptoms before treatment with lenalidomide, inform the doctor of any changes in these symptoms.
  • shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the legs or ankles. These may be symptoms of a serious condition known as pulmonary hypertension (see section 4).

Tests and examinations
Regular blood tests will be performed before and during treatment with Kleder. This is because Kleder may cause a decrease in blood cells involved in fighting infections (white blood cells) and blood clotting (platelets).
Your doctor will request blood tests:

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

Before starting lenalidomide treatment and during treatment, you may be evaluated for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Patients with MDS taking Kleder
If the patient has myelodysplastic syndromes, there is an increased chance of developing a serious disease called acute myeloid leukaemia. Furthermore, it is not known how Kleder affects the likelihood of developing acute myeloid leukaemia. Therefore, your doctor may perform tests and check for signs that help better predict the risk of acute myeloid leukaemia during treatment with Kleder.
Patients with MCL taking Kleder
Your doctor will request blood tests:

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

Patients with FL taking Kleder
Your doctor will request blood tests:

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

Your doctor may perform an examination to determine whether the patient has a large amount of tumour tissue in the body, including in the bone marrow. This may lead to a situation where tumour tissue begins to die and causes an abnormal increase in the concentration of various substances in the blood, which may lead to kidney failure (a condition called tumour lysis syndrome).
Your doctor may examine the patient to check for skin changes, such as red spots or rash.
Your doctor may adjust the dose of Kleder or discontinue treatment based on the results of blood tests and the patient’s general condition. If the disease has been recently diagnosed, the doctor may also assess treatment based on the patient’s age and other existing conditions.
Blood donation
During treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends, the patient must not donate blood.
Children and adolescents
Kleder is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Elderly patients and patients with kidney problems
If the patient is 75 years of age or older, or has moderate to severe kidney problems, the doctor will perform thorough assessments before starting treatment.
Kleder and other medicines
Tell your doctor or nurse about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken. This is necessary because Kleder may affect the action of other medicines. Likewise, some other medicines may affect how Kleder works.
In particular, inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking the following medicines:

  • certain contraceptives, such as oral contraceptives, because they may stop working;
  • certain medicines used for heart problems – such as digoxin;
  • certain medicines used to thin the blood – such as warfarin.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception – information for women and men
Pregnancy
Applies to women taking Kleder

  • Do not take Kleder if you are pregnant, as it is expected to be harmful to the unborn child.
  • Women must not become pregnant while taking Kleder.
  • Therefore, women of childbearing potential must use an effective method of contraception (see “Contraception”).
  • If you become pregnant while being treated with Kleder, you must immediately stop treatment and inform your doctor.

Applies to men taking Kleder

  • If the partner of a man undergoing treatment with Kleder becomes pregnant, she should immediately inform her doctor. The patient’s partner should seek medical advice.
  • Men must also use an effective method of contraception (see “Contraception”).

Breastfeeding
Do not breastfeed while taking Kleder, as it is not known whether Kleder passes into human milk.
Contraception
Applies to women taking Kleder
Before starting treatment, ask your doctor about the possibility of becoming pregnant, even if you consider it unlikely.
Women of childbearing potential:

  • will undergo pregnancy tests performed under the supervision of a doctor (before each treatment, at least every 4 weeks during treatment, and at least 4 weeks after treatment ends), except in cases where the fallopian tubes have been cut and sealed to prevent the egg from reaching the uterus (tubal sterilisation)
    AND

  • must use effective methods of contraception for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, during treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends. Your doctor will advise you on appropriate contraceptive methods.

Applies to men taking Kleder
Kleder passes into human semen. If a woman is pregnant or could become pregnant and does not use an effective method of contraception, her partner should use a condom during treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends. This applies also to men who have had a vasectomy. During treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment ends, the patient must not donate semen.
Driving and operating machinery
Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, balance disturbances due to vertigo, or blurred vision after taking Kleder.
Kleder contains lactose and sodium.
Kleder contains lactose. If you have been previously diagnosed with intolerance to certain sugars, you should contact your doctor before taking this medicine.
The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, meaning the medicine is considered “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Kleder

Kleder must be administered by medical personnel experienced in the treatment of multiple myeloma, MDS, MCL, or FL.

  • When Kleder is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients who cannot undergo bone marrow transplantation or who have previously received other treatment, the medicine is given in combination with other drugs (see section 1 "Why Kleder is used").
  • When Kleder is used to treat multiple myeloma in patients after bone marrow transplantation or in patients with MDS or MCL, the medicine is used as monotherapy.
  • When Kleder is used to treat follicular lymphoma, it is taken together with another medicine called "rituximab".

Kleder should always be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. If in doubt, consult the doctor or pharmacist.
If the patient is taking Kleder together with other medicines, they should read the package leaflet included with those medicines to obtain information about their use and effects.

Treatment cycle
Kleder is taken on specific days within a 3-week period (21 days).

  • Each 21-day period is called a treatment cycle.
  • Depending on the day of the cycle, the patient will take one or more medicines. However, on some days the patient will not take any medicines.
  • After completing each 21-day cycle, the patient should start a new 21-day cycle. OR Kleder is taken on specific days within a 4-week period (28 days).
  • Each 28-day period is called a treatment cycle.
  • Depending on the day of the cycle, the patient will take one or more medicines. However, on some days the patient will not take any medicines.
  • After completing each 28-day cycle, the patient should start a new 28-day cycle.

What dose of Kleder should be taken
Before starting treatment, the doctor will inform the patient:

  • how much Kleder they should take;
  • how much of other medicines they should take in combination with Kleder, if other medicines are required;
  • on which days of the cycle each medicine should be taken.

How and when to take Kleder

  • Swallow the capsule whole, preferably with water.
  • Do not break, open, or chew the capsules. If the powder from a damaged Kleder capsule comes into contact with the skin, wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water immediately.
  • Healthcare professionals, caregivers, and family members should wear disposable gloves when handling the blister pack or capsule. Gloves should be carefully removed to avoid skin exposure, placed in a sealed polyethylene plastic bag, and disposed of according to local regulations. Hands should then be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Pregnant women or women who suspect they may be pregnant should not handle the blister pack or capsule.
  • Capsules may be taken with or without food.
  • Kleder should be taken at approximately the same time each day on which the dose is scheduled.

How to take Kleder
To remove the capsule from the blister:

  • press only on one side of the capsule and push it through the foil;
  • do not press on the center of the capsule, as this may damage it.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody will experience them.
If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop taking Kleder and seek immediate medical advice –
urgent treatment may be required:

  • urticaria, rash, swelling of the eyes, lips or face, breathing difficulties or itching, which may be symptoms of severe allergic reactions known as angioedema and anaphylactic reaction;
  • severe allergic reaction possibly starting as a rash in one area, spreading over the whole body and associated with significant skin peeling (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and/or toxic epidermal necrolysis);
  • widespread rash, high fever, increased liver enzyme activity, 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.
