===Lenalidomide Dose Adjustments for Renal Impairment===
 +
 
 +
Lenalidomide dosage should be adjusted based on the patient's renal function, particularly their creatinine clearance (CrCl). The following are the recommended dose adjustments:
 +
 
 +
====Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)====
 +
* '''CrCl ≥60 mL/min''': No adjustment required.
 +
* '''CrCl 30–59 mL/min''': 10 mg daily.
 +
* '''CrCl <30 mL/min (not on dialysis)''': 15 mg every other day.
 +
* '''CrCl <30 mL/min (requiring dialysis)''': 5 mg daily (post-dialysis on dialysis days).
 +
 
 +
====Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and Maintenance Therapy Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma====
 +
* '''CrCl ≥60 mL/min''': No adjustment required.
 +
* '''CrCl 30–59 mL/min''': 5 mg daily.
 +
* '''CrCl <30 mL/min (not on dialysis)''': 2.5 mg daily
 +
* '''CrCl <30 mL/min (requiring dialysis)''': 2.5 mg daily; on dialysis days, following hemodialysis
 +
 
 +
''Note:'' These guidelines are based on the latest prescribing information and should be used as a reference. For personalized and detailed dosage adjustments, it is essential to consult the full prescribing information and a healthcare professional.

General information

Class/mechanism: Second-generation immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) similar to Thalidomide (Thalomid); mechanism not fully understood. Lenalidomide's mechanism may involve immunomodulatory, antiinflammatory, and antiangiogenic effects and suppression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It has been observed to inhibit cells with the 5q deletion in myelodysplastic syndromes. It has also been seen in vitro to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, but not COX-1.[1][2][3][4]

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias or the prescribing information.[1]

Lenalidomide Dose Adjustments for Renal Impairment

Lenalidomide dosage should be adjusted based on the patient's renal function, particularly their creatinine clearance (CrCl). The following are the recommended dose adjustments:

Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

  • CrCl ≥60 mL/min: No adjustment required.
  • CrCl 30–59 mL/min: 10 mg daily.
  • CrCl <30 mL/min (not on dialysis): 15 mg every other day.
  • CrCl <30 mL/min (requiring dialysis): 5 mg daily (post-dialysis on dialysis days).

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and Maintenance Therapy Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma

  • CrCl ≥60 mL/min: No adjustment required.
  • CrCl 30–59 mL/min: 5 mg daily.
  • CrCl <30 mL/min (not on dialysis): 2.5 mg daily
  • CrCl <30 mL/min (requiring dialysis): 2.5 mg daily; on dialysis days, following hemodialysis

Note: These guidelines are based on the latest prescribing information and should be used as a reference. For personalized and detailed dosage adjustments, it is essential to consult the full prescribing information and a healthcare professional.
