General information
Class/mechanism: Second-generation immunomodulatory drug (IMiD)--a thalidomide analogue--with antineoplastic activity. Pomalidomide has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of hematopoietic tumor cells, enhance natural killer (NK) and T-cell cell-mediated immunity, and suppress monocyte production of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).[1][2][3]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a
- Use of Pomalidomide (Pomalyst) requires participation in the Pomalyst REMS program
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
