1. What is Pomalidomide Grindeks and what is it used for

What is Pomalidomide Grindeks

Pomalidomide Grindeks contains the active substance pomalidomide. This medicine is related to thalidomide and belongs to a group of medicines that affect the immune system (the body's natural defenses).

What Pomalidomide Grindeks is used for

Pomalidomide Grindeks is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called multiple myeloma.

Pomalidomide is used with:

  • Two other medicines, called bortezomib (a type of chemotherapy medicine) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine) in people who have received at least one previous treatment, including lenalidomide.

or

  • One other medicine, called dexamethasone, in people whose myeloma has worsened despite having received at least two other treatments, including lenalidomide and bortezomib.

What is multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a specific type of white blood cells (called plasma cells). These cells grow out of control and accumulate in the bone marrow. As a result, bones and kidneys become damaged.

Multiple myeloma usually cannot be cured. However, treatment can reduce or eliminate the signs and symptoms of the disease for a period of time. When this happens, it is called a response.

How Pomalidomide Grindeks works

Pomalidomide works in several ways:

  • by interrupting the growth of myeloma cells
  • by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells
  • by interrupting the formation of blood vessels that nourish cancer cells

Benefit of using pomalidomide with bortezomib and dexamethasone

When pomalidomide is used with bortezomib and dexamethasone in people who have already received at least one other treatment, it may delay the progression of multiple myeloma.

Typically, the combination of pomalidomide with bortezomib and dexamethasone prevents the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 11 months, compared with 7 months observed in patients who receive only bortezomib and dexamethasone.

Benefit of using pomalidomide with dexamethasone

When pomalidomide is used with dexamethasone in people who have already received at least two other treatments, it may delay the progression of multiple myeloma.

Typically, the combination of pomalidomide with dexamethasone prevents the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 4 months, compared with 2 months observed in patients who receive only dexamethasone.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Pomalidomide Grindeks

Do not take Pomalidomide Grindeks:

  • if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, since pomalidomide is expected to be harmful to the fetus. (Men and women taking this medicine should read the section Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding: information for men and women below.)
  • if you could become pregnant, unless you follow all necessary measures to prevent pregnancy (see the section Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding: information for men and women). If you could become pregnant, your doctor will record on each prescription that the necessary precautions have been taken and will provide you with this confirmation.
  • if you are allergic to pomalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, consult your doctor for advice.

If you are unsure whether any of the above situations apply to you, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking pomalidomide.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take Pomalidomide Grindeks if:

  • You have previously had blood clots. During treatment with pomalidomide, you have an increased risk of developing blood clots in your veins and arteries. Your doctor may recommend additional treatments (e.g., warfarin) or reducing the dose of pomalidomide to lower the risk of blood clots.
  • You have ever had an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing while taking related medicines called thalidomide or lenalidomide.
  • You have had a heart attack, suffer from heart failure, have difficulty breathing, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels.
  • You have a high overall tumor burden in the body, including in the bone marrow. This could lead to a condition in which tumors break down and release unusual levels of chemicals into the blood, which in turn may cause kidney failure. You may also experience irregular heartbeats. This condition is called tumor lysis syndrome.
  • You suffer from or have previously had neuropathy (nerve damage causing tingling or pain in the feet or hands).
  • You have or have previously had an infection with hepatitis B virus. Treatment with pomalidomide may reactivate the hepatitis B virus in carriers, leading to a recurrence of the infection. Your doctor must check whether you have ever had a hepatitis B virus infection.
  • You are experiencing or have previously experienced a combination of any of the following symptoms: facial or widespread rash, skin redness, high fever, flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes (symptoms of a serious skin reaction known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms [DRESS] or drug hypersensitivity syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis [TEN], or Stevens-Johnson syndrome [SJS]. See also section 4 “Possible side effects”).

It is important to note that patients with multiple myeloma treated with pomalidomide may develop other types of cancer, so your doctor must carefully evaluate the benefits and risks when prescribing this medicine.

At any time during or after treatment, inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience: blurred vision, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in one arm or leg, a change in the way you walk or balance problems, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or confusion. These may all be symptoms of a serious and potentially life-threatening brain condition known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you had any of these symptoms before starting treatment with pomalidomide, inform your doctor if you notice any changes in these symptoms.

At the end of treatment, you must return all unused capsules to the pharmacist.

Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding: information for men and women

You must follow the instructions provided in the Pomalidomide Pregnancy Prevention Programme. Men and women taking pomalidomide must not father children or become pregnant. This is because pomalidomide is expected to be harmful to the fetus. You and your partner must use effective contraceptive methods while taking this medicine.

Women

Do not take pomalidomide if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant. This is because this medicine is expected to be harmful to the fetus. Before starting treatment, you must inform your doctor if there is any possibility you could become pregnant, even if you think this is unlikely.

If you could become pregnant:

  • You must use effective contraception at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, throughout the time you are taking the medicine, and for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment. Your doctor will advise you on the most suitable contraceptive methods for you.
  • Each time your doctor prescribes a new prescription, they will ensure you understand the necessary measures to prevent pregnancy.
  • Your doctor will schedule pregnancy tests before treatment, at least every 4 weeks during treatment, and at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment.

If you become pregnant despite preventive measures:

  • You must stop treatment immediately and inform your doctor immediately.

Breastfeeding

It is unknown whether pomalidomide is excreted in human breast milk. Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding or intend to breastfeed. Your doctor will advise you whether you should continue or stop breastfeeding.

Men

Pomalidomide is present in human semen.

  • If your partner is pregnant or could become pregnant, you must use condoms throughout the time you are taking the medicine and for 7 days after stopping treatment.
  • If your partner becomes pregnant while you are taking pomalidomide, inform your doctor immediately. Your partner must also inform her doctor immediately.

You must not donate semen or sperm during treatment and for 7 days after stopping treatment.

Blood donation and blood tests

You must not donate blood during treatment and for 7 days after stopping treatment.

Before starting treatment with pomalidomide and during treatment, you will have periodic blood tests. This is because the medicine may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells that help fight infections (white blood cells) and in the number of cells that help stop bleeding (platelets).

Your doctor should request blood tests:

  • before starting treatment
  • weekly during the first 8 weeks of treatment
  • at least once a month while continuing pomalidomide treatment

Your doctor may adjust the dose of pomalidomide or interrupt your treatment, depending on the results of these tests. Your doctor may also change the dose or interrupt this medicine due to your overall health status.

Children and adolescents

The use of pomalidomide is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and Pomalidomide Grindeks

Inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines. This is because pomalidomide may affect how other medicines work. Other medicines may also affect how pomalidomide works.

Specifically, inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking pomalidomide if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • certain antifungals, such as ketoconazole
  • certain antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin, enoxacin)
  • certain antidepressants, such as fluvoxamine

Driving and using machines

Some people experience fatigue, dizziness, fainting, confusion, or reduced alertness while taking pomalidomide. If you experience these effects, avoid driving or operating tools or machinery.

Pomalidomide Grindeks contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per capsule; hence, it is essentially "sodium-free".

Pomalidomide Grindeks contains azo dyes

The capsules contain the azo dyes brilliant black PN (all strengths), carmoisine, ponceau 4R (all strengths), and orange-yellow FCF (only the 2 mg capsules). These dyes may cause allergic reactions.
