1. What Pomalidomide Olpha is and what it is used for
What Pomalidomide Olpha is
Pomalidomide Olpha 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 Olpha is used for
Pomalidomide Olpha is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called multiple myeloma.
Pomalidomide Olpha 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 other treatment containing lenalidomide Or
- one other medicine, dexamethasone, in patients with multiple myeloma whose condition has worsened despite having previously received at least two other treatments containing lenalidomide and bortezomib.
What is multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects a certain type of white blood cells (called plasma cells). These cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate in the bone marrow, causing damage to bones and kidneys.
Multiple myeloma is generally incurable. However, treatment may relieve symptoms or cause the disease to go into remission for a period of time – this is known as a response to treatment.
How Pomalidomide Olpha works
Pomalidomide Olpha 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 blood to cancer cells.
Benefits of using Pomalidomide Olpha with bortezomib and dexamethasone
Pomalidomide Olpha, when used in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least one other treatment, may slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
- Pomalidomide Olpha 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 Olpha with dexamethasone
Pomalidomide Olpha, when used in combination with dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least two other treatments, may slow the progression of multiple myeloma.
- Pomalidomide Olpha used with dexamethasone typically delayed the recurrence of multiple myeloma for up to 4 months – compared to 2 months in patients who received only dexamethasone.
2. Important information before using Pomalidomide Olpha
When must Pomalidomide Olpha not be used:
- if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, because Pomalidomide Olpha is expected to be harmful to the unborn child (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 document at each prescription that necessary precautions have been taken and will confirm this with 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, consult a doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Olpha.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Olpha, discuss with the doctor, pharmacist or nurse if:
- the patient has ever had blood clots in the past. Treatment with Pomalidomide Olpha increases the risk of blood clots in veins and arteries. The doctor may prescribe additional treatment (e.g. warfarin) or reduce the dose of Pomalidomide Olpha to lower the risk of blood clots.
- the patient has ever experienced an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness or difficulty breathing while taking similar medicines called “thalidomide” and “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 tumour lysis, resulting in abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the blood, which may lead to 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 the hands or feet).
- the patient has or has had hepatitis B virus infection. Taking Pomalidomide Olpha may reactivate the virus in previously infected patients, leading to a recurrence of infection. The doctor should check whether the patient has previously been infected with hepatitis B virus.
- the patient has had or currently has any of the following symptoms together: facial rash or widespread rash, skin redness, 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”).
Please note that additional types of cancer may occur in patients with multiple myeloma treated with pomalidomide. Therefore, the doctor should carefully assess the benefits and risks of prescribing this medicine to the patient.
During or after treatment, inform the doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following occur: vision disturbances, loss of vision or double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness in arms or legs, change in walking pattern or problems with balance, persistent numbness, reduced sensation or loss of sensation, memory loss or disorientation.
All of these symptoms may indicate a serious and potentially fatal brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). If these symptoms occurred before treatment with Pomalidomide Olpha, inform the doctor of any changes in these symptoms.
After treatment is completed, return any unused capsules to the pharmacy, which will accept them.
Pregnancy, contraception and breastfeeding – information for women and men
As indicated below, pregnancy prevention programme requirements must be followed during treatment with Pomalidomide Olpha. Women taking Pomalidomide Olpha must not become pregnant, and men being treated with pomalidomide must not allow their partner to become pregnant, because this medicine is expected to be harmful to the unborn child. The patient and his/her partner must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment with this medicine.
Women
Do not use Pomalidomide Olpha if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, because this medicine is expected to be harmful to the unborn child. Before starting treatment, the patient should inform the 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 treatment period, and for at least 4 weeks after treatment ends. The patient should discuss with the doctor which method of contraception is best for her.
- at each prescription, the doctor will ensure that the patient understands all necessary actions required to prevent pregnancy.
- the doctor will order pregnancy tests before treatment, at least 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 the doctor immediately.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether Pomalidomide Olpha passes into human milk. If the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed, she must inform the doctor. The doctor will advise whether she should stop or continue breastfeeding.
Men
Pomalidomide Olpha passes into human semen.
- If the partner is pregnant or could become pregnant, the man must use a condom throughout the entire treatment period and for 7 days after treatment ends.
- If the partner of a man being treated with Pomalidomide Olpha becomes pregnant, inform the doctor immediately. The partner should immediately consult a doctor.
The patient must not donate sperm 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 Olpha, the patient will undergo regular blood tests. This is necessary because this medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (white blood cells) that help fight infections and reduce the number of cells (platelets) that help stop bleeding.
The doctor should order blood tests:
- before treatment,
- weekly during the first 8 weeks of treatment,
- then at least once a month for as long as the patient is taking Pomalidomide Olpha.
The doctor may adjust the dose of Pomalidomide Olpha or discontinue treatment based on the patient's blood test results. The doctor may also change the dose or discontinue treatment due to the patient's overall health condition.
Children and adolescents
Pomalidomide Olpha is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Pomalidomide Olpha and other medicines
Tell the doctor, pharmacist or nurse about all medicines the patient is currently taking, has recently taken or plans to take, because Pomalidomide Olpha may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Pomalidomide Olpha.
Before taking Pomalidomide Olpha, 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 Olpha, some people may experience fatigue, dizziness, fainting, confusion or reduced alertness. If such symptoms occur, the patient should not drive, use tools or operate machinery.
