Brand Name: Lenangio

Composition: Lenalidomide

Mechanism of Action:

Lenalidomide's efficacy in treating specific malignancies is attributed to a number of significant modes of action. By boosting T-cell and natural killer (NK) cell responses against tumor cells, it modifies the immune system and fortifies the body's fight against cancer. Furthermore, lenalidomide demonstrates anti-angiogenic qualities by preventing the creation of new blood vessels, a process essential to the survival and growth of malignancies. Moreover, it directly causes malignant cells to undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which further lowers the tumor burden. Because of these combined effects, lenalidomide is a useful treatment for hematologic malignancies.
