4.2       Posology and method of administration
Revlimid treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anti-cancer therapies.

For all indications described below:
• Dose is modified based upon clinical and laboratory findings (see section 4.4).
• Dose adjustments, during treatment and restart of treatment, are recommended to manage Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, or other Grade 3 or 4 toxicity judged to be related to REVLIMID.
• In case of neutropenia, the use of growth factors in patient management should be considered.
• If less than 12 hours has elapsed since missing a dose, the patient can take the dose. If more than 12 hours has elapsed since missing a dose at the normal time, the patient should not take the dose, but take the next dose at the normal time on the following day.

Posology
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM)
• REVLIMID in combination with dexamethasone until disease progression in patients who are not eligible for transplant
REVLIMID treatment must not be started if the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) is < 1.0 x 109/L, and/or platelet counts are < 50 x 109/L.

Recommended dose
The recommended starting dose of REVLIMID is 25 mg orally once daily on days 1 to 21 of repeated 28-day cycles. The recommended dose of dexamethasone is 40 mg orally once daily on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of repeated 28-day cycles. Patients may continue REVLIMID and dexamethasone therapy until disease progression or intolerance.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL)

Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS)
All patients should receive TLS prophylaxis (allopurinol, rasburicase or equivalent as per institutional guidelines) and be well hydrated (orally) during the first week of the first cycle or for a longer period if clinically indicated. To monitor for TLS, patients should have a chemistry panel drawn weekly during the first cycle and as clinically indicated.
REVLIMID may be continued (maintain dose) in patients with laboratory TLS or Grade 1 clinical TLS, or at the physician’s discretion, reduce dose by one level and continue REVLIMID. Vigorous intravenous hydration should be provided and appropriate medical management according to the local standard of care, until correction of electrolyte abnormalities. Rasburicase therapy may be needed to reduce hyperuricaemia.
Hospitalisation of the patient will be at physician’s discretion.
In patients with Grade 2 to 4 clinical TLS, interrupt REVLIMID and obtain a chemistry panel weekly or as clinically indicated. Vigorous intravenous hydration should be provided and appropriate medical management according to the local standard of care, until correction of electrolyte abnormalities. Rasburicase therapy and hospitalisation will be at physician’s discretion. When the TLS resolves to Grade 0, restart REVLIMID at next lower dose per physician’s discretion (see section 4.4).

Tumour flare reaction
At the physician’s discretion, REVLIMID may be continued in patients with Grade 1 or 2 tumour flare reaction (TFR) without interruption or modification. At the physician’s discretion, therapy with non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), limited duration corticosteroids, and/or narcotic analgesics may be administered. In patients with Grade 3 or 4 TFR, withhold treatment with REVLIMID and initiate therapy with NSAIDs, corticosteroids and/or narcotic analgesics. When TFR resolves to ≤ Grade 1, restart REVLIMID treatment at the same dose level for the rest of the cycle. Patients may be treated for management of symptoms per the guidance for treatment of Grade 1 and 2 TFR (see section 4.4).

All indications
For other Grade 3 or 4 toxicities judged to be related to REVLIMID, treatment should be stopped and only restarted at next lower dose level when toxicity has resolved to ≤ Grade 2 depending on the physician’s discretion.

REVLIMID interruption or discontinuation should be considered for Grade 2 or 3 skin rash. REVLIMID must be discontinued for angioedema, anaphylactic reaction, Grade 4 rash, exfoliative or bullous rash, or if Stevens- Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is suspected, and should not be resumed following discontinuation from these reactions.

Special populations
• Paediatric population
Revlimid should not be used in children and adolescents from birth to less than 18 years because of safety concerns (see section 5.1).

• Elderly
Currently available pharmacokinetic data are described in section 5.2. REVLIMID has been used in clinical trials in multiple myeloma patients up to 91 years of age, in myelodysplastic syndromes patients up to 95 years of age and in mantle cell lymphoma patients up to 88 years of age (see section 5.1).

Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it would be prudent to monitor renal function.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: patients who are not eligible for transplant Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma aged 75 years and older should be carefully assessed before treatment is considered (see section 4.4).
For patients older than 75 years of age treated with REVLIMID in combination with dexamethasone, the starting dose of dexamethasone is 20 mg once daily on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycle.

No dose adjustment is proposed for patients older than 75 years who are treated with REVLIMID in combination with melphalan and prednisone.

In patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma aged 75 years and older who received REVLIMID, there was a higher incidence of serious adverse reactions and adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuation.

REVLIMID combined therapy was less tolerated in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients older than 75 years of age compared to the younger population. These patients discontinued at a higher rate due to intolerance (Grade 3 or 4 adverse events and serious adverse events), when compared to patients < 75 years.

Multiple myeloma: patients with at least one prior therapy
The percentage of multiple myeloma patients aged 65 or over was not significantly different between the REVLIMID/dexamethasone and placebo/dexamethasone groups. No overall difference in safety or efficacy was observed between these patients and younger patients, but greater pre-disposition of older individuals cannot be ruled out.

Myelodysplastic syndromes
For myelodysplastic syndromes patients treated with REVLIMID, no overall difference in safety and efficacy was observed between patients aged over 65 and younger patients.

Mantle cell lymphoma
For mantle cell lymphoma patients treated with REVLIMID, no overall difference in safety and efficacy was observed between patients aged 65 years or over compared with patients aged under 65 years of age.

Follicular lymphoma
For follicular lymphoma patients treated with REVLIMID in combination with rituximab, the overall rate of adverse events is similar for patients aged 65 years or over compared with patients under 65 years of age. No overall difference in efficacy was observed between the two age groups.

• Patients with renal impairment
REVLIMID is primarily excreted by the kidney; patients with greater degrees of renal impairment can have impaired treatment tolerance (see section 4.4). Care should be taken in dose selection and monitoring of renal function is advised.

No dose adjustments are required for patients with mild renal impairment and multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, mantle cell lymphoma, or follicular lymphoma.
The following dose adjustments are recommended at the start of therapy and throughout treatment for patients with moderate or severe impaired renal function or end stage renal disease.
There are no phase 3 trial experiences with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (CLcr < 30 mL/min, requiring dialysis).

3 Patients with severe renal impairment or ESRD were excluded from study.


After initiation of REVLIMID therapy, subsequent REVLIMID dose modification in renally impaired patients should be based on individual patient treatment tolerance, as described above.

• Patients with hepatic impairment
REVLIMID has not formally been studied in patients with impaired hepatic function and there are no specific dose recommendations.

Method of administration
Oral use.
Revlimid capsules should be taken orally at about the same time on the scheduled days. The capsules should not be opened, broken or chewed. The capsules should be swallowed whole, preferably with water, either with or without food.

It is recommended to press only on one end of the capsule to remove it from the blister thereby reducing the risk of capsule deformation or breakage.
