CeeNU contains the active ingredient lomustine. It is a prescription chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer.

Brain Tumors

CeeNU may be used to treat primary or metastatic brain tumors.

It is usually given after other treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, when appropriate.

Hodgkin Lymphoma

CeeNU may also be used as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen for Hodgkin lymphoma.

It is generally used when the cancer has come back after treatment or has not responded well to standard first-line therapy.

How CeeNU Works

CeeNU belongs to a group of chemotherapy medications called alkylating agents.

It works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells.

This makes it harder for the cells to grow and divide, which can slow or stop the growth of the cancer.

Important Note

CeeNU is a powerful chemotherapy medication and requires close medical monitoring.

Your healthcare provider will usually check your blood counts, liver function, kidney function, and overall response to treatment before and during therapy.

Take CeeNU exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Lomustine is taken by mouth as a single dose and should not be taken more often than once every 6 weeks.

Your full dose may include capsules of different strengths or colors. Take all the capsules prescribed for that treatment cycle at the same time.

Swallow the Capsules Whole

Swallow each capsule whole with water.

Do not open, crush, break, or chew the capsules.

Taking more lomustine than prescribed can cause severe or even life-threatening side effects.

Your Dose Is Individualized

Your healthcare provider will calculate your dose based on factors such as:

  • Your body size
  • Your blood counts
  • Your medical condition
  • Other chemotherapy medications you use
  • How you responded to your previous dose

Blood tests are usually needed before another dose is given.

Do Not Take It More Often

Do not take another dose early, even if you think you missed part of your treatment.

Lomustine can cause delayed bone marrow suppression, so doses must be separated by at least 6 weeks. Your healthcare provider may delay the next dose longer if your blood counts have not recovered.

Handling CeeNU Safely

CeeNU is a cytotoxic chemotherapy medication.

Wear impermeable gloves when handling the capsules or their container.

Do not handle broken or damaged capsules. If the medication touches your skin, wash the area immediately and thoroughly.

Pregnancy Precautions

Lomustine can harm an unborn baby.

People who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid direct exposure to broken capsules or capsule contents.

Ask your healthcare provider about appropriate pregnancy prevention during treatment.

What to Do If You Miss Your Dose

Because CeeNU is taken on a special chemotherapy schedule, do not take a missed dose on your own.

Contact your healthcare provider or cancer treatment team for instructions.

Never take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose.

Bone Marrow Suppression

CeeNU can cause a serious decrease in blood cell production.

This effect may be delayed and can occur several weeks after a dose.

Low blood cell counts can increase the risk of:

  • Infection
  • Anemia
  • Easy bruising
  • Bleeding

Your healthcare provider will check your blood counts regularly before and after each dose.

Pregnancy

CeeNU can harm an unborn baby.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy.

Effective birth control is recommended during treatment and for a period after the final dose.

Lung Problems

CeeNU can cause serious lung damage, including pulmonary fibrosis.

The risk may be higher with long-term treatment or higher total doses.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop a new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.

Your lung function may be checked before and during treatment.

Liver Problems

CeeNU can affect liver function.

Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to check your liver during treatment.

Tell your healthcare provider if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe tiredness, or persistent abdominal pain.

Kidney Problems

CeeNU can damage the kidneys and, in some cases, cause kidney failure.

Your healthcare provider may monitor your kidney function during treatment.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease or notice reduced urination, swelling, or unusual tiredness.

Secondary Cancers

Long-term treatment with lomustine may increase the risk of developing another cancer later.

Rare cases of acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome have been reported.

Your healthcare provider will weigh this risk against the benefits of treatment.

Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are common with CeeNU.

Your healthcare provider may prescribe medication to help prevent or control these symptoms.

Contact your healthcare provider if vomiting is severe or you cannot keep fluids down.

Vaccines and Infections

Because CeeNU can lower your blood cell counts and weaken your ability to fight infection, tell your healthcare provider before receiving any vaccine.

Avoid close contact with people who have serious contagious infections, and seek medical advice if you develop fever, chills, or other signs of infection.

Liver or Kidney Disease

Tell your healthcare provider if you already have liver or kidney disease.

You may need closer monitoring during treatment because CeeNU can affect both organs.

Blood or Bone Marrow Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you already have low blood counts or a history of bone marrow problems.

CeeNU can further reduce your white blood cells and platelets, so regular blood tests are essential.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Contact your healthcare provider right away if you develop fever, unusual bleeding or bruising, severe weakness, shortness of breath, persistent cough, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or reduced urination.

How should I take CeeNU?

Take CeeNU exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Lomustine is usually taken as a single oral dose no more often than once every 6 weeks. Your dose may include capsules of different strengths. Take all capsules prescribed for that treatment cycle at the same time. Do not take extra capsules or repeat the dose early.

What should I do if I miss a dose of CeeNU?

Contact your healthcare provider or cancer treatment team for instructions. Because CeeNU is given on a carefully planned chemotherapy schedule, do not take a missed dose on your own. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dose.

How long do the effects of CeeNU last?

CeeNU continues to affect the body for weeks after each dose. Some side effects, especially low blood cell counts, may not appear until several weeks after treatment. This is why blood tests and regular monitoring are needed between doses.

Can CeeNU be used for other cancers?

Yes. Healthcare providers may sometimes use lomustine for other cancers when they believe it is appropriate. Its approved uses include certain brain tumors and Hodgkin lymphoma, but other uses depend on the type of cancer, previous treatments, and the individual treatment plan. CeeNU should only be used under the supervision of an oncology healthcare team.
