Medical Description
Bdpoma capsule contains pomalidomide, a prescription oral anticancer medicine that belongs to a group called immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs). It is mainly used with dexamethasone to treat adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to treatment after at least two previous therapies, including lenalidomide and bortezomib. Pomalidomide works in several ways. It binds to a protein called cereblon, which helps break down certain proteins involved in cancer-cell growth. It also helps strengthen the immune system's T-cell and natural killer (NK) cell activity against myeloma cells and may reduce the formation of new blood vessels that support tumour growth.
Treatment requires close medical supervision and regular blood tests, as pomalidomide can cause low blood cell counts, particularly neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, and can increase the risk of blood clots.
Pomalidomide can cause severe birth defects and must not be used during pregnancy. Strict pregnancy-prevention measures are required for patients who can become pregnant, and appropriate contraception is also required for male patients according to the applicable pregnancy-prevention programme.
