Key facts

As of 7 August 2026, 4 of the 10 tracked registers list current availability issues for Pomalidomid, covering 16 affected product presentations. The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2024-12-13 and has now been open for about 20 months. Where agencies state a cause, commercial decisions or discontinuation lead with 2 of the 5 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-08-31. Notably, 1 report has already passed the expected-resolution date without closing — prognoses for this medicine should be read as estimates, not commitments. Momentum is current, not historical: 6 of the open reports were filed within the last 90 days. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Sweden reported first (2024-12-13), with Spain following roughly 17 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets. Registers in Spain, Italy, Sweden indicate that alternatives or equivalents are available — a pharmacist or doctor can advise on switching.
