Adult: After failure of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) or in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma who are HIV-negative: Initially, 5 mg once daily for 21 days of a 28-day cycle, continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Initiate therapy if ANC is ≥1,000/mm3 and platelet count of ≥75,000/mm3. Continue HAART treatment in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. Dose reduction, dosing interruption, or discontinuation may be required according to individual safety and tolerability (refer to detailed product guidelines).

This drug may cause dizziness or confusion, if affected, do not drive or operate machinery. Avoid donating blood during treatment and for at least 1 month following treatment cessation. Women of childbearing potential must use proven birth control methods during therapy (including dose interruption) and for 4 weeks after stopping the treatment. Men should use condoms and avoid donating semen or sperm during treatment (including dose interruption) and for at least 7 days following treatment cessation. Women of childbearing potential or who are pregnant should not handle the blister or capsule.
Chỉ số theo dõi
Evaluate pregnancy 10-14 days and 24 hours prior to treatment initiation, weekly during the 1st month then every 2 weeks or monthly thereafter for patients with irregular and regular menstrual cycles, respectively, and at least 1 month following discontinuation of therapy. Perform HBV screening including HBsAg, hepatitis B (HB) core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to HBsAg before starting or at the beginning of therapy. Monitor CBC (with differential and platelet count) weekly for the 1st 8 weeks of therapy and monthly or as indicated thereafter; renal function (e.g. serum creatinine, creatine clearance); thyroid function (at baseline and every 2-3 months during treatment), and LFTs (monthly). Assess for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity or dermatologic reactions, ILD, tumour lysis syndrome, neuropathy, and thromboembolism (e.g. chest pain, shortness of breath, arm or leg swelling).
Tương tác
Increased exposure with strong CYP1A2 inhibitor (e.g. fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin) that may enhance risk for toxicities.

Food, particularly high-fat and high-caloric meal, decreases the rate and extent of absorption.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Pomalidomide is a thalidomide analogue with immunomodulatory, antiangiogenic, and direct anti-myeloma tumouricidal properties. It inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-12; enhances T cell- and natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immunity; and blocks the migration and adhesion of endothelial cells resulting in the prevention of angiogenesis. Additionally, it also induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis leading to the inhibition of growth and proliferation of haematopoietic tumour cells, including lenalidomide-resistant multiple myeloma cell lines. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food, particularly high-fat and high-caloric meal, decreases the rate and extent of absorption. Time to peak plasma concentration: 2-3 hours. Distribution: Distributed into the semen (approx 67%). Plasma protein binding: 12-44%. Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver via hydroxylation and subsequent glucuronidation or hydrolysis mainly by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. Excretion: Mainly via urine (73%; 2% as unchanged drug); faeces (15%; 8% as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: Approx 7.5 hours (patient with multiple myeloma); approx 9.5 hours (healthy individual).
