lenalidomide increases the severity of the formation of fatal blood clots when taken along with peginesatide
risk and life-threatening effects occur when nivolumab is co-administered with lenalidomide for treating multiple myeloma
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk of severe and life-threatening side effects as well as death
