Can you explain what Pomalyst is and how it is used?
Pomalyst is a brand-name prescription drug used in combination with the steroid dexamethasone to treat multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is specifically approved for patients who have already undergone at least two prior therapies, including one containing lenalidomide, and whose disease has progressed within 60 days of the last treatment. The active ingredient, pomalidomide, is an immunomodulatory agent that works by enhancing immune cell activity against tumors, directly killing cancer cells, and inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. Due to a significant risk of severe birth defects, Pomalyst is only available through a restricted distribution program (REMS). Prescriptions are filled by certified specialty pharmacies, which provide patient counseling and deliver the medication. Treatment follows a 28-day cycle: one capsule is taken daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day rest period.
