Contraception should continue during therapy, during dose interruptions, and for 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide and for 3 months after discontinuation of tafasitamab (whichever is longer). Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy.
