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

What is Pomalidomide Stada

Pomalidomide Stada 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 defense).

What is Pomalidomide Stada used for

Pomalidomide Stada is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called "multiple myeloma".

Pomalidomide Stada is used in combination with:

  • two other medicines, bortezomib (a type of chemotherapy) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine) in patients who have already received at least one other type of treatment containing lenalidomide or
  • one other medicine, dexamethasone in patients with myeloma that has worsened despite previously receiving at least two other types of treatment containing lenalidomide and bortezomib.

What is multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a cancer that attacks a type of white blood cell (called plasma cells). These cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate in the bone marrow, causing bone and kidney damage.

In principle, multiple myeloma is incurable. However, treatment can alleviate the symptoms of the disease or make them disappear for a while - this is called a "response" to treatment.

How does Pomalidomide Stada work

Pomalidomide Stada works in several 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 feed cancer cells.

Benefits of using Pomalidomide Stada with bortezomib and dexamethasone

Pomalidomide Stada, when used in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least one other type of treatment, may slow down the progression of multiple myeloma.

  • Pomalidomide used with bortezomib and dexamethasone usually delayed the relapse of multiple myeloma by 11 months - compared to 7 months in patients who received only bortezomib and dexamethasone.

Benefits of using Pomalidomide Stada with dexamethasone

Pomalidomide Stada, when used in combination with dexamethasone in patients who have already received at least two other types of treatment, may slow down the progression of multiple myeloma.

  • Pomalidomide with dexamethasone usually delayed the relapse of multiple myeloma by 4 months - compared to 2 months in patients who received only dexamethasone.

2. Important information before taking Pomalidomide Stada

When not to take Pomalidomide Stada:

  • if the patient is allergic to pomalidomide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine, listed in section 6. If an allergy to the medicine is suspected, consult a doctor for advice.
  • if the patient is pregnant, suspects that she is pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, as it should be expected that Pomalidomide Stada will harm the fetus (men and women taking this medicine must read the section "Pregnancy, contraception, and breastfeeding - information for men and women" below).
  • if the patient may become pregnant, unless all necessary measures to prevent pregnancy are used (see the section "Pregnancy, contraception, and breastfeeding - information for men and women"). If the patient may become pregnant, the doctor will always make a note when prescribing the medicine that the patient has understood all the necessary measures to prevent pregnancy that they must use and will provide the patient with this confirmation. If the patient is unsure whether any of the above situations apply to them, they should consult their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment with Pomalidomide Stada.

Warnings and precautions

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

  • the patient has ever had blood clots in the past. During treatment with Pomalidomide Stada, there is an increased risk of blood clots forming in veins and arteries. The doctor may prescribe additional treatment (e.g., warfarin) or reduce the dose of Pomalidomide Stada to reduce the risk of blood clots.

Pomalidomide Stada may increase the risk of developing additional types of cancer. Therefore, the doctor should carefully assess the benefits and risks associated with prescribing this medicine to the patient.

If any of the following symptoms occur during or after treatment, the patient should immediately inform their doctor or nurse:

  • vision disturbances, loss of vision, or double vision,
  • difficulty speaking, weakness in the arms or legs, changes in gait, or balance problems,
  • numbness, decreased sensation, or loss of sensation,
  • memory loss or disorientation.

All of the above symptoms may indicate a severe and potentially life-threatening brain disease called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

Children and adolescents

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

Pomalidomide Stada and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or plan to take, as Pomalidomide Stada may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Pomalidomide Stada.

Before taking Pomalidomide Stada, inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse, especially if you are taking any of the following medicines:

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

Pregnancy, contraception, and breastfeeding - information for men and women

As indicated below, during treatment with Pomalidomide Stada, pregnancy prevention programs must be followed.

Women taking Pomalidomide Stada must not become pregnant and men taking Pomalidomide Stada must not father a child. It should be expected that this medicine will harm the fetus. The patient and their partner should use effective contraception during treatment with this medicine.

Women

Pomalidomide Stada must not be taken if the patient is pregnant, suspects that she is pregnant, or plans to become pregnant, as it should be expected that this medicine will harm the fetus. Before starting treatment, the patient should tell their doctor if she can become pregnant, even if she thinks it is unlikely.

If the patient can become pregnant:

  • she must use effective contraception for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment, during treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment. The patient should discuss with her doctor which contraceptive method is best for her.
  • each time the medicine is prescribed, the doctor will ensure that the patient has understood all the necessary measures to prevent pregnancy that she must use to prevent pregnancy.
  • the doctor will order pregnancy tests before treatment, no less than every 4 weeks during treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment.
  • If the patient becomes pregnant despite using preventive measures:
  • she must stop treatment immediately and inform her doctor immediately.

Breastfeeding

It is not known whether Pomalidomide Stada passes into human milk. If the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed, she should tell her doctor. The doctor will inform the patient whether she should stop or continue breastfeeding.

Men

Pomalidomide Stada is present in human semen.

  • If the patient's partner is pregnant or may become pregnant, the patient must use condoms during the entire treatment period and for 7 days after stopping treatment.
  • If the patient's partner becomes pregnant during treatment with Pomalidomide Stada, the patient should immediately inform their doctor. The partner should immediately consult a doctor.

The patient should not donate sperm or semen during treatment and for 7 days after stopping treatment.

Blood donation and blood tests

During treatment and for 7 days after stopping treatment, the patient should not donate blood.

Before and during treatment with Pomalidomide Stada, the patient will undergo regular blood tests. This is because the medicine may cause a decrease in the number of blood cells (white blood cells) that help fight infections and a decrease in the number of cells (platelets) that help stop bleeding.

The doctor will order blood tests:

  • before treatment,
  • every week during the first 8 weeks of treatment,
  • then at least once a month for as long as the patient takes Pomalidomide Stada.

The doctor may change the dose of Pomalidomide Stada or stop treatment based on the patient's blood test results or their overall health.

Driving and using machines

While taking Pomalidomide Stada, some people may feel tired, dizzy, faint, confused, or have reduced alertness. If these symptoms occur, the patient should not drive, use tools, or operate machinery.

Pomalidomide Stada contains sodium

The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, which means that the medicinal product is considered "sodium-free".

Pomalidomide Stada contains isomalt

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking the medicine.

3. How to take Pomalidomide Stada

Pomalidomide Stada must be administered by a doctor with experience in treating multiple myeloma.

This medicine should always be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
