Overview

Imnovid is a cancer medicine used to treat multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow). It is used in combination with bortezomib (another cancer medicine) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine) in adults who have received at least one treatment including lenalidomide (another cancer medicine).

It is also used in combination with dexamethasone in adults who have received at least two prior therapies, including both lenalidomide and bortezomib, and whose disease has worsened.

Imnovid contains the active substance pomalidomide.

Multiple myeloma is rare, and Imnovid was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 8 October 2009. Further information on the orphan designation can be found on ema.europa.eu/medicines/human/orphan-designations/EU309672.
