The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published draft guidance that recommends use of Imnovid (pomalidomide) (Pomalyst in the US) from Celgene to treat multiple myeloma, reversing an earlier decision. New comparative data and a discount has convinced NICE that Imnovid plus low-dose dexamethasone can be considered cost effective therapy for patients who have relapsed after three prior treatments including lenalidomide and bortezomib.
