Pomalidomide capsules are also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) after failure of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and for adult patients with HIV-negative KS.

Pomalidomide capsules are available in 1mg, 2mg, 3mg, and 4mg strengths.

Marc Falkin, Chief Executive Officer, Cipla North America, added: “This launch reinforces Cipla’s long-standing commitment to expanding access to high-quality, affordable oncology therapies. As we continue to build a comprehensive portfolio across the treatment continuum, our focus remains on improving patient outcomes, addressing barriers to care, and supporting continuity of treatment, including through co-pay assistance programs for eligible patients.”

The drug will be manufactured at Cipla’s approved site offering strong assurance of uninterrupted supply.

According to IQVIA, Pomalidomide Capsules had estimated sales of USD 2.69 billion*.

Cipla is part of the PS-Pomalidomide REMS (Risk Evaluation & Mitigation Strategy) Program, the same program followed by the innovator. This helps ensure patient safety and compliance with FDA requirements.
