The National Institute for Health Care and Clinical Excellence in the UK does not recommend Imnovid (pomalidomide) as third line treatment for Metastatic Melanoma as the Institute has not received adequate evidence of effectiveness from Celgene."Celgenes own cost effective analysis clearly demonstrated that the drug does not offer enough benefit to justify the price".
