  REVLIMID should be taken orally at about the same time each day, either with or without food. REVLIMID capsules should be swallowed whole with water. The capsules should not be opened, broken, or chewed.

  2.1 Multiple Myeloma

  Multiple Myeloma

  The recommended starting dose of REVLIMID is 25 mg orally once daily on Days 1-21 of repeated 28-day cycles in combination with dexamethasone. Refer to Section 14.1 for specific dexamethasone dosing. For patients > 75 years old, the starting dose of dexamethasone may be reduced [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  In patients who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), treatment should continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients who are ASCT-eligible, hematopoietic stem cell mobilization should occur within 4 cycles of a REVLIMID-containing therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11)].

  Dose Adjustments for Hematologic Toxicities During Multiple Myeloma Treatment

  Dose modification guidelines, as summarized in Table 1 below, are recommended to manage Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia or other Grade 3 or 4 toxicity judged to be related to REVLIMID.

  2.4 Starting Dose for Renal Impairment in MM, MDS or MCL

  Since REVLIMID is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidney, adjustments to the starting dose of REVLIMID are recommended to provide appropriate drug exposure in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment and in patients on dialysis. Based on a pharmacokinetic study in patients with renal impairment due to non-malignant conditions, REVLIMID starting dose adjustment is recommended for patients with CLcr < 60 mL/min. The recommendations for initial starting doses for patients with MDS or MCL, and MM are as follows:

  Table 2: Starting Dose Adjustments for Patients with Renal Impairment in MDS or MCL Category Renal Function (Cockcroft-
  Gault) Dose in MCL Dose in MDS Moderate Renal
  Impairment CLcr 30-60 mL/min 10 mg
  Every 24 hours 5 mg
  Every 24 hours Severe Renal Impairment CLcr < 30 mL/min (not
  requiring dialysis) 15 mg
  Every 48 hours 2.5 mg
  Every 24 hours End Stage Renal Disease CLcr < 30 mL/min (requiring
  dialysis) 5 mg
  Once daily. On dialysis
  days, administer the dose
  following dialysis. 2.5 mg
  Once daily. On dialysis days,
  administer the dose following
  dialysis. Table 3: Starting Dose Adjustments for Patients with Renal Impairment in MM Category Renal Function (Cockcroft-
  Gault) Dose in MM Moderate Renal
  Impairment CLcr 30-50 mL/min 10 mg
  Every 24 hours Severe Renal Impairment CLcr < 30 mL/min (not
  requiring dialysis) 15 mg
  Every 48 hours End Stage Renal Disease CLcr < 30 mL/min (requiring
  dialysis) 5 mg
  Once daily. On dialysis
  days, administer the dose
  following dialysis.

  Moderate renal impairment for MM: Consider escalating the dose to 15 mg after 2 cycles if the patient tolerates the 10 mg dose of lenalidomide without dose-limiting toxicity.

  After initiation of REVLIMID therapy, subsequent REVLIMID dose increase or decrease is based on individual patient treatment tolerance, as described elsewhere [See Dosage and Administration (2.1-2.3)].
