POMALYST® (pomalidomide) is a thalidomide analogue indicated, in combination with dexamethasone, for adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.
IN PATIENTS WITH RRMM WHO RECEIVED lenalidomide AND A PI
POMALYST® (pomalidomide) + dex (Pd):
a doublet therapy built on a FOUNDATION of POMALYST.
Trial Design.1,2
POMALYST was studied in a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial of POMALYST + low-dose dex vs high-dose dex in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least 2 prior treatment regimens, including lenalidomide and bortezomib, and demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of last therapy (ITT population, N=455). Some key exclusion criteria included serum bilirubin >2.0 mg/dL, AST/ALT >3x ULN, and CrCl <45 mL/min. Patients in the POMALYST + low-dose dex arm (n=302) received 4 mg of POMALYST orally on Days 1-21 of 28-day cycles with 40 mg of low-dose dex once daily on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of 28-day cycles. Patients in the high-dose dex arm (n=153) received 40 mg of dex once daily on Days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20 of 28-day cycles. Patients >75 years received 20 mg of dex in the same respective dosing schedules. Patients receiving POMALYST + low-dose dex were required to receive prophylaxis or anti-thrombotic treatment, as well as any other patient with a history of DVT or PE. The primary endpoint was PFS, and a key secondary efficacy endpoint was OS. Treatment continued until disease progression.

*Patients >75 years received 20 mg of dex in the same respective schedules.
