⚠️ Specialist-supervised cancer therapy — this medication is started, monitored, and stopped by an oncologist or haematologist. Dosing depends on tumour type, stage, body surface area, organ function, and concomitant therapy. Self-treatment is not appropriate; the information below is educational and supports informed conversations with your specialist.
All IMiDs are severely teratogenic (thalidomide most notoriously — phocomelia). Mandatory pregnancy-prevention programme (REMS/iCare equivalent): pregnancy testing before, during, and after; two effective contraceptive methods; counselling for both partners; no blood donation during therapy or for 4 weeks after. Even one dose during pregnancy can cause severe malformations.
IMiDs carry significantly elevated risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, especially in combination with corticosteroids or doxorubicin. Mandatory thromboprophylaxis: low-dose aspirin (low-risk), or LMWH/warfarin/DOAC (higher-risk patients). Specialist-determined.
All IMiDs cause myelosuppression — neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anaemia. Weekly FBC during initiation; monthly maintenance. Renal dose adjustment (lenalidomide especially — significant renal accumulation).
Veelgestelde vragen
When is this used?
Immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) for multiple myeloma (newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory), 5q-myelodysplastic syndrome, and mantle cell lymphoma. Modern IMiD with greater potency and fewer neuropathy/sedation side effects than thalidomide.
How is it taken?
Once daily, typically in cycles (e.g., 21 days on, 7 days off for lenalidomide). Specific dose and schedule are myeloma-protocol-specific (Rd, RVd, KRd, etc.). Specialist-determined by tumour response and tolerability.
Pregnancy prevention?
Mandatory programme: monthly pregnancy tests, two effective contraceptive methods, partner contraception, counselling. Even one dose during pregnancy causes severe malformations. No blood donation during therapy or for 4 weeks after stopping.
Common side effects?
IMiD class: VTE, fatigue, rash, GI (constipation, diarrhoea), myelosuppression. Lenalidomide: less neuropathy than thalidomide. Pomalidomide: often better tolerated than thalidomide; renal-friendly. Thalidomide: peripheral neuropathy, sedation.
Geneesmiddelinteracties?
Anticoagulants — adjust based on VTE prophylaxis strategy. Digoxin levels may rise. Erythropoietin agents + IMiD — increased thrombosis risk; use only with mandatory thromboprophylaxis.
Renal monitoring?
Lenalidomide: dose-adjust by CrCl (significant renal accumulation). Pomalidomide: less renal effect but still monitor. Thalidomide: renally cleared metabolite — monitor renal function.
Wat als ik een dosis vergeet?
Take when you remember if <12 hours late; otherwise skip and resume — do not double up. Notify oncology team if multiple doses missed.
Vaccinatie?
Inactivated vaccines OK; live vaccines contraindicated during IMiD therapy. Optimise vaccinations before starting if possible.
Long-term complications?
IMiD therapy: secondary primary malignancies (especially with extended use), cumulative VTE risk, neuropathy (thalidomide especially).
When is treatment stopped?
Specialist-determined: response duration, toxicity, planned treatment break, transition to maintenance therapy. IMiD maintenance therapy is now standard in myeloma — typically lenalidomide post-autologous stem cell transplant continued for 2-3 years or until intolerance.
