Consumer:

Pomalidomide is primarily metabolized in the liver by CYP450 1A2 and CYP450 3A4. Hepatic failure, including fatal cases, has occurred in patients treated with pomalidomide. Elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase and bilirubin have also been observed. Reduce the starting dose of pomalidomide by 25% (3 mg daily) in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment and by 50% (2 mg daily) in those patients with severe hepatic impairment. It is recommended to monitor liver function tests monthly and to stop treatment with pomalidomide upon elevation of liver enzymes. After return to baseline values, treatment at a lower dose may be considered.
