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 defences).
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 medicine) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine), in patients who have already received at least one prior 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 prior treatment regimens including 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 both objective and subjective symptoms of the disease or cause the disease to go into remission 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 cancer cells.
Benefits of using Pomalidomide Grindeks with bortezomib and dexamethasone
When Pomalidomide Grindeks is used in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least one prior treatment, it may slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
Pomalidomide Grindeks used with bortezomib and dexamethasone typically delayed the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 11 months—compared to 7 months in patients who received only bortezomib and dexamethasone.
Benefits of using Pomalidomide Grindeks with dexamethasone
When Pomalidomide Grindeks is used in combination with dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least two prior treatments, it may slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
Pomalidomide Grindeks used with dexamethasone typically delayed the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 4 months—compared to 2 months in patients who received dexamethasone alone.
2. Important information before using Pomalidomide Grindeks
When not to take Pomalidomide Grindeks
- if the patient is pregnant, suspects she is 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 required methods of contraception (see section "Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men"). If the patient could become pregnant, the doctor will always document during prescription that the patient has understood all necessary contraceptive methods she must use, and will provide confirmation of this 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, consult a doctor for advice.
If the patient is unsure whether any of the above situations apply, she/he should consult
a doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting treatment with Pomalidomide
Grindeks.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks, discuss with the 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 an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or breathing difficulties while taking similar medicines called "thalidomide" and "lenalidomide".
- the patient has had a heart attack, has heart failure, experiences breathing difficulties, or if he/she 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 called tumour lysis syndrome, in which tumours break down rapidly, causing abnormal levels of chemical substances in the blood, which may lead to kidney failure. The patient may also experience irregular heartbeats.
- 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 had 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), "drug hypersensitivity syndrome", toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), see also section 4 "Possible side effects").
It should be emphasized that in patients with multiple myeloma treated with pomalidomide,
development of additional types of cancer may occur. Therefore, the treating physician should
carefully assess 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 the following symptoms occur: vision disturbances, loss of vision or double vision,
difficulty speaking, weakness in arms or legs, change in walking pattern or balance problems,
persistent numbness, reduced sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or disorientation.
All of these symptoms may indicate a serious and potentially life-threatening brain disorder
called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If these symptoms occurred before
starting Pomalidomide Grindeks, inform the doctor about any changes in these symptoms.
After completing treatment, the patient should return all unused capsules to the pharmacy.
Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men
As indicated below, pregnancy prevention programme requirements must be followed
during treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks. Women taking Pomalidomide Grindeks must not
become pregnant, and men treated with pomalidomide must not cause pregnancy in their partners,
because this medicine is expected to harm the unborn child. The patient and his/her partner should
use effective methods of contraception during treatment with this medicine.
Women
Do not use Pomalidomide Grindeks if the patient is pregnant, suspects she is pregnant, or plans to
become pregnant, because this medicine is expected to harm the unborn child. Before starting
treatment, the patient should inform the treating doctor that she could become pregnant, even if she
considers it unlikely.
If the patient could become pregnant:
-
she must use effective contraception methods 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 treating doctor which contraception method is most suitable for her. -
each time the medicine is prescribed, the treating doctor will ensure that the patient understands all necessary contraceptive methods 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:
- she must immediately stop treatment and inform her treating doctor without delay.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether Pomalidomide Grindeks passes into human breast milk. If the patient is
breastfeeding or intends to breastfeed, she must inform her treating doctor. The treating doctor
will advise whether she should stop or continue breastfeeding.
Men
Pomalidomide Grindeks passes into human semen.
- If the 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 partner of a man undergoing treatment with Pomalidomide Grindeks becomes pregnant, inform the doctor 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 this 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,
- 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 interrupt treatment based
on the patient's blood test results. The treating doctor may also change 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 the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently taken, recently used, or planned for
use, 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
in the patient, driving, using tools or operating machinery should be avoided.
Pomalidomide Grindeks medicine
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, meaning it is considered "sodium-free".
Pomalidomide Grindeks contains azo dyes
The capsules contain azo dyes: brilliant black PN (all strengths), azorubine (carmoisine)
(all strengths), and orange-yellow FCF (only 2 mg capsules). These dyes may cause
