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

Pomalidomide Grindeks contains the active substance pomalidomide. This medicine is similar 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 Grindeks is used in combination with:

  • two other medicines, bortezomib (a chemotherapy agent) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine), in patients who have previously received at least one other treatment regimen containing lenalidomide

or

  • one other medicine, dexamethasone, in patients with multiple myeloma whose disease has worsened despite having previously received at least two treatment regimens containing lenalidomide and bortezomib.

What is multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects a certain type of blood cell (called plasma cells). These cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate in the bone marrow, leading to bone and kidney damage.
Multiple myeloma is generally considered incurable. However, treatment may relieve the signs and symptoms of the disease or cause them to subside for a period of time—this is known as a "response" to treatment.

How Pomalidomide Grindeks works
Pomalidomide Grindeks works in several different ways:

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

Benefits of using Pomalidomide Grindeks with bortezomib and dexamethasone
When used in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have previously received at least one other treatment, Pomalidomide Grindeks can slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
Pomalidomide Grindeks in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone typically delayed the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 11 months—compared to 7 months in patients receiving only bortezomib and dexamethasone.

Benefits of using Pomalidomide Grindeks with dexamethasone
When used in combination with dexamethasone in patients who have previously received at least two other treatments, Pomalidomide Grindeks can slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
Pomalidomide Grindeks in combination with dexamethasone typically delayed the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 4 months—compared to 2 months in patients receiving dexamethasone alone.

2. Important information before using Pomalidomide Grindeks

When not to take Pomalidomide Grindeks

  • if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, because Pomalidomide Grindeks is expected to be harmful to the fetus (men and women taking this medicine must read the section "Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men" below).
  • if the patient could become pregnant, unless she uses all necessary methods of contraception (see section "Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men"). If the patient could become pregnant, the doctor will always confirm during each prescription that the patient understands all necessary contraceptive measures she must use, and will provide written confirmation to the patient.
  • if the patient is allergic to pomalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine listed in section 6). If an allergic reaction to the medicine is suspected, medical advice should be sought.

If the patient is unsure whether any of the above situations apply, please consult a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks, discuss with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if:

  • the patient has ever had blood clots in the past. Treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks increases the risk of developing blood clots in veins and arteries. The doctor may prescribe additional treatment (e.g. warfarin) or reduce the dose of Pomalidomide Grindeks to lower the risk of blood clots.
  • the patient has ever experienced hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulties while taking similar medicines called "thalidomide" or "lenalidomide".
  • the patient has had a heart attack, has heart failure, experiences breathing difficulties, or if the patient smokes, has high blood pressure, or high cholesterol levels.
  • the patient has extensive tumour involvement in the body, including in the bone marrow. This may lead to a condition where tumours break down rapidly, causing abnormal levels of chemical substances in the blood, which may result in kidney failure. The patient may also experience irregular heartbeats. This condition is known as tumour lysis syndrome.
  • the patient has or has had neuropathy (nerve damage causing tingling or pain in hands or feet).
  • the patient has or has had hepatitis B virus infection. Taking Pomalidomide Grindeks may reactivate the virus in previously infected patients, leading to a recurrence of infection. The doctor should check whether the patient has been previously infected with hepatitis B virus.
  • the patient has or has previously experienced any combination of the following symptoms: facial rash or widespread rash, redness of the skin, high fever, flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes (observed symptoms of a severe 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 should be emphasized that patients with multiple myeloma treated with pomalidomide may develop secondary cancers. Therefore, the treating physician should carefully evaluate the benefits and risks associated with prescribing this medicine.

At any time during or after completion of treatment, immediately inform the doctor or nurse if any of the following occur: vision disturbances, loss of vision, double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in arms or legs, changes in walking or balance problems, persistent numbness, reduced sensation, loss of sensation, memory loss, or disorientation. All these symptoms may indicate a serious and potentially fatal brain disorder called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. If these symptoms occurred before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks, inform the doctor about any changes in these symptoms.

After treatment ends, the patient should return all unused capsules to the pharmacy.

Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men

As indicated below, the conditions of the pregnancy prevention programme must be strictly followed during treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks. Women taking Pomalidomide Grindeks must not become pregnant, and men being treated with pomalidomide must not allow their female partner to become pregnant, because this medicine is expected to harm the unborn child. The patient and his/her partner must use effective methods of contraception during treatment with this medicine.

Women

Do not take Pomalidomide Grindeks if you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, because this medicine is expected to harm the unborn child. Before starting treatment, the patient must inform the treating doctor if she could become pregnant, even if she considers it unlikely.

If the patient could become pregnant:

  • must use effective methods of contraception for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, throughout the entire treatment period, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends. The patient should discuss with her doctor which method of contraception is best for her.

  • at each prescription, the treating doctor will confirm that the patient understands all necessary contraceptive measures she must use to prevent pregnancy.

  • the treating doctor will order pregnancy tests before treatment, no less frequently than every 4 weeks during treatment, and at least 4 weeks after treatment ends.

If the patient becomes pregnant despite using preventive methods:

  • must immediately stop treatment and inform the treating doctor without delay.

Breastfeeding

It is not known whether Pomalidomide Grindeks passes into human milk. If the patient is breastfeeding or intends to breastfeed, she must inform the treating doctor. The treating doctor will advise whether she should stop or continue breastfeeding.

Men

Pomalidomide Grindeks passes into human semen.

  • If the male patient's partner is pregnant or could become pregnant, the man must use condoms throughout the entire treatment period and for 7 days after treatment ends.
  • If the female partner of a man being treated with Pomalidomide Grindeks becomes pregnant, the doctor must be informed immediately. The partner should seek medical advice without delay. The patient must not donate sperm or semen during treatment and for 7 days after treatment ends.

Blood donation and blood tests

During treatment and for 7 days after treatment ends, the patient must not donate blood.

Before and during treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks, regular blood tests will be performed. This is because the medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (white blood cells) that help fight infections, and reduce the number of platelets that help stop bleeding.

The treating doctor should schedule blood tests:

  • before treatment begins,
  • weekly during the first 8 weeks of treatment,
  • thereafter at least once a month for as long as the patient is taking Pomalidomide Grindeks.

The treating doctor may adjust the dose of Pomalidomide Grindeks or discontinue treatment based on blood test results. The treating doctor may also adjust the dose or discontinue treatment due to the patient's overall health condition.

Children and adolescents

Pomalidomide Grindeks is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Pomalidomide Grindeks and other medicines

Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking, have recently taken, or plan to take, because Pomalidomide Grindeks may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Pomalidomide Grindeks.

Before taking Pomalidomide Grindeks, inform the doctor, pharmacist, or nurse, especially if the patient is taking any of the following medicines:

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

Driving and using machines

While taking Pomalidomide Grindeks, some people may experience fatigue, dizziness, fainting, disorientation, or reduced alertness. If such symptoms occur, the patient should not drive, operate tools, or use machinery.

Pomalidomide Grindeks
