Summary of advice
The RMP version 6.0 for Xalkori (crizotinib) submitted in the context of the extension of
indication under evaluation by the CHMP was considered acceptable, provided an updated RMP
and satisfactory responses to the PRAC list of questions are submitted.
The PRAC considered that since further data are expected in relation to the overall survival
(OS) analysis from randomised study A8081007, the corresponding specific obligation cannot
be considered fulfilled at this stage. In addition, the MAH should maintain the additional risk
minimisation measures for gastrointestinal perforation. Finally, the MAH should closely monitor
QTc prolongation effects, particularly in patients with pre-existing bradycardia, who have a
history of/or predisposition for QTc prolongation, taking antiarrhythmic drugs or other
medicinal products that are known to prolong QT interval and in patients with relevant preexisting
cardiac disease and/or electrolyte disturbances.
5.2.3. Lenalidomide – REVLIMID (CAP)
Evaluation of an RMP in the context of a variation, extension of indication
Regulatory details:
PRAC Rapporteur: Arnaud Batz (FR)
Administrative details:
Procedure number(s): EMEA/H/C/000717/II/0079
Procedure scope: Extension of indication to add treatment of adult patients with relapsed and/or
refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). As a consequence, SmPC sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5.1 and
5.2 as well as the package leaflet are updated accordingly. In addition, the MAH took the opportunity
to make minor editorial changes in the SmPC and package leaflet
MAH(s): Celgene Europe Limited
Background
Lenalidomide is an anti-neoplastic, anti-angiogenic, pro-erythropoietic immunomodulator indicated for
the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma who are not eligible for
transplant, and indicated in combination for the treatment of multiple myeloma in adult patients who
have received at least one prior therapy. In addition, lenalidomide is indicated for the treatment of
patients with transfusion-dependent anaemia due to low- or intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic
syndromes associated with an isolated deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality when other therapeutic
options are insufficient or inadequate.
The CHMP is evaluating an extension of the therapeutic indication for Revlimid, a centrally authorised
product containing lenalidomde, to include the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and/or
refractory mantle cell lymphoma (RRMCL). The PRAC is responsible for providing advice to the CHMP
on the necessary updates to the RMP to support this extension of indication.
Summary of advice
The RMP version 25.0 for Revlimid (lenalidomide) submitted in the context of the extension of
indication variation under evaluation by the CHMP was considered acceptable, provided an
updated RMP and satisfactory responses to the PRAC list of questions are submitted.
The MAH should propose a post-authorisation non-interventional safety study of patients with
relapsed and/or refractory mantle cell lymphoma to further investigate and characterise the
