Overview

Lenalidomide Accord is a medicine used for the treatment of multiple myeloma (cancer of a type of white blood cells called plasma cells) and follicular lymphoma (cancer of another type of white blood cells called B lymphocytes).

In multiple myeloma, Lenalidomide Accord is used:

  • in adults who have had a stem cell transplant (a procedure where the patient’s bone marrow is cleared of cells and replaced by stem cells from a donor);
  • in adults with previously untreated (newly diagnosed) multiple myeloma, who cannot have a stem cell transplant. It is used in combination with dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, or melphalan and prednisone;
  • in adults whose disease has been treated at least once. It is used in combination with dexamethasone.

In follicular lymphoma, Lenalidomide Accord is used in adults who have already been treated for their disease. It is used with the medicine rituximab.

Lenalidomide Accord is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Lenalidomide Accord contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Revlimid. For more information on generic medicines, see the question-and-answer document below.
