The European Medicines Agency (EMA), confirmed in September 2011, that the benefit-risk balance for Revlimid (lenalidomide) remained positive within its approved patient population but advised doctors of the risk of new cancers as a result of treatment with the medicine. Revlimid is used in combination with dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine) to treat adult patients with multiple myeloma whose disease has been treated at least once in the past. |
