Important Dosing Information

  • The capsules should not be opened, broken, or chewed
  • REVLIMID is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidney. Since elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection. Monitor renal function
  • Monitor CBCs every 7 days (weekly) for the first 2 cycles, on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 3, and every 28 days (4 weeks) thereafter
  • Treatment is continued or modified based on clinical and laboratory findings
  • Dose modification guidelines are recommended to manage Grade 3/4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia
  • For non-hematologic Grade 3/4 toxicities judged to be related to REVLIMID, hold treatment and restart at next lower dose level when toxicity has resolved to ≤Grade 2
  • Patients may require dose interruption and/or reduction
  • Patients may require the use of blood product support and/or growth factors

Help patients stay on REVLIMID Maintenance with dose modifications.

  • Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GRADE 3/4 HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITIES

REVLIMID® Maintenance Dosing Modifications Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia
  • Hematologic recovery: ANC >1000/mcL and/or platelet counts >75,000/mcL.
  • Do not dose below 5 mg daily for Days 1-21 of 28-day cycles.

For non-hematologic Grade 3/4 AEs, hold treatment and after resolution to ≤Grade 2, restart at next lowest dose.


  • AE, adverse event; ANC, absolute neutrophil count; CBC, complete blood count; CrCl, creatinine clearance.
