Warning and Precautions

  • Lenalidomide oral drug can result in neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Monitor patients with neutropenia for symptoms of infection. Observe them for bleeding or bruising, mainly with the use of concomitant drugs that may increase the probability of bleeding. Assess complete blood counts (CBC) periodically.
  • Venous thromboembolic events (VTE [PR and DVT]) and arterial thromboembolic events (ATE, myocardial infarction, and stroke) are increased in those treated with Lenalidomide capsules.  
  • Hepatic failure, including fatal cases, may occur in patients treated with Lenalidomide together with dexamethasone. Monitor liver enzymes periodically. Stop treatment upon elevation of liver enzymes. After the return to baseline values, treatment at a reduced dose may be considered. 
  • Angioedema and severe cutaneous reactions including TEN, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) may occur. DRESS may present with a cutaneous reaction (such as exfoliative dermatitis or rash), fever, eosinophilia, or lymphadenopathy with systemic complications such as nephritis, myocarditis, pneumonitis, hepatitis, and/or pericarditis.
  • Fatal cases of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) may occur during therapy with Lenalidomide 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and 25 mg capsules. The patients at probability of TLS are those with higher tumor burden before treatment. Monitor patients at risk precisely and consider suitable preventive approaches.
  • Tumor flare reaction (TFR) may occur during the use of Lenalidomide for CLL and lymphoma and is characterized by tender lymph node swelling, pain, low-grade fever, and rash. This drug is not for use in CLL outside of controlled clinical trials. Monitoring and assessment for TFR is required in those with MCL, FL, or MZL. TFR may mimic the progression of disease (PD).
