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

What Pomalidomide Viatris is
Pomalidomide Viatris contains the active substance “pomalidomide”. This medicine is related to
thalidomide and belongs to a group of medicines that act on the immune system (the body’s natural
defences).
What Pomalidomide Viatris is used for
Pomalidomide Viatris is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called “multiple myeloma”.
Pomalidomide Viatris is used in combination with:

  • two other medicines, called “bortezomib” (a type of chemotherapy medicine) and “dexamethasone” (an anti-inflammatory medicine), in patients who have received at least one prior therapy containing lenalidomide. or
  • one other medicine, called “dexamethasone”, in patients whose multiple myeloma has worsened despite at least two prior therapies containing lenalidomide and bortezomib.

What is multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a certain type of white blood cells (called
“plasma cells”). These cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate in the bone marrow.
This causes damage to the bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally incurable. However, treatment can reduce the signs and symptoms of the disease or make them disappear for a certain period of time. When this occurs, it is referred to as a “response”.
How Pomalidomide Viatris works
Pomalidomide Viatris works in several ways:

  • by stopping the growth of myeloma cells
  • by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells
  • by inhibiting the formation of blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells.

The benefit of using Pomalidomide Viatris together with bortezomib and dexamethasone
When pomalidomide is used together with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapy, it can prevent multiple myeloma from worsening:

  • On average, pomalidomide used with bortezomib and dexamethasone prevented the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 11 months, compared to 7 months in patients treated with bortezomib and dexamethasone alone.

The benefit of using Pomalidomide Viatris together with dexamethasone
When pomalidomide is used together with dexamethasone in patients who have received at least two prior therapies, it can prevent multiple myeloma from worsening:

  • On average, pomalidomide used with dexamethasone prevented the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 4 months, compared to 2 months in patients treated with dexamethasone alone.

2. What you need to know before taking Pomalidomide Viatris

Do not take Pomalidomide Viatris

  • If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, because Pomalidomide Viatris is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby. (Men and women taking this medicine should read the section “Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men” below.)
  • If there is any possibility you could become pregnant unless you follow all necessary measures to avoid pregnancy (see “Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men”). If there is any possibility you could become pregnant, your doctor will record at each prescription that the necessary precautions have been taken and will provide you with confirmation.
  • If you are allergic to pomalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you are allergic, consult your doctor.

If you are unsure whether any of the conditions listed above apply to you, consult your doctor,
pharmacist, or nurse before taking Pomalidomide Viatris.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Pomalidomide Viatris if:

  • You have previously had episodes of blood clots. There is an increased risk of developing blood clots in the veins (thrombosis) and arteries during treatment with Pomalidomide Viatris. Your doctor may recommend additional treatments (e.g. warfarin) or reduce the dose of Pomalidomide Viatris to lower the risk of blood clots.
  • You have previously had an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, during treatment with medicines related to pomalidomide called “thalidomide” or “lenalidomide”.
  • You have had a heart attack, have heart failure, have difficulty breathing, or if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels.
  • You have a high tumour burden throughout the body, including in the bone marrow. This could lead to a condition in which tumours break down and cause unusual levels of
    chemicals in the blood, which may result in kidney failure. An irregular heartbeat may also occur.
    This condition is called tumour lysis syndrome.
  • You have or have previously had neuropathy (nerve damage causing tingling or pain in the hands or feet).
  • You have or have previously had hepatitis B infection. Treatment with Pomalidomide Viatris may cause reactivation of the hepatitis B virus in patients carrying the virus, leading to recurrence of the infection. Your doctor must check whether you have ever had hepatitis B infection.
  • You have or have previously had any combination of the following symptoms: facial or widespread rash, skin redness, high fever, flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes (these are signs of a serious skin reaction called 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; therefore, your doctor must carefully evaluate the benefit and risk 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, double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in one arm or leg, changes in the way you walk, balance problems, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, or loss of sensation, memory loss, or confusion. These may be symptoms of a serious and potentially fatal brain disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If you had these symptoms before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Viatris, inform your doctor of any changes in these symptoms.
At the end of treatment, return all unused capsules to the pharmacist.
Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men
The following instructions must be followed as specified in the Pomalidomide Viatris Pregnancy Prevention Programme. Women and men taking Pomalidomide Viatris must not become pregnant or father a child, because pomalidomide is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby. You and your partner must use effective contraception during treatment with this medicine.
Women
Do not take Pomalidomide Viatris if you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, because this medicine is expected to be harmful to the unborn baby.

  • You must use effective contraceptive methods for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, throughout the treatment period, and for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment. Consult your doctor about the most suitable contraceptive method for you.
  • At each prescription, your doctor will confirm that you understand the necessary measures to prevent pregnancy.
  • Your doctor will arrange pregnancy tests before treatment, at least every 4 weeks during treatment, and at least 4 weeks after treatment ends.

If you become pregnant despite preventive measures:

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

You must not donate seminal fluid or sperm during treatment and for 7 days after treatment ends.
Blood donation and blood tests
You must not donate blood during treatment and for 7 days after treatment ends.
Before and during treatment with Pomalidomide Viatris, you will have regular blood tests because this medicine may cause a reduction in blood cells that fight infections (white blood cells) and in cells that stop bleeding (platelets).
Your doctor will ask you to have blood tests:

  • Before starting treatment
  • Weekly for the first 8 weeks of treatment
  • At least once a month thereafter, throughout the duration of treatment with Pomalidomide Viatris.

Based on the results of these tests, your doctor may adjust the dose of Pomalidomide Viatris or stop treatment. Your doctor may also adjust the dose or stop treatment based on your overall health status.
