The Delta variant is currently the highly contagious predominant variant of the SARSCoV-2 virus worldwide that causes severe illness more than the previous variants in unvaccinated people (CDC, 2021). At a White House briefing, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, Anthony Fauci, predicted that there would be an increase in the number of child hospitalisation proportionate to the increased number of children getting infected with the Delta variant (Press briefing White House, 2021). In response to this situation, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines for children aged 12 – 17 years. Vaccines in children aged 5 – 11 years are currently under clinical trial (Sick-Samuels & Messina, 2021).

Abstract This spotlight review focuses on the second-generation immunomodulatory drug pomalidomide, which was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This drug was approved for patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior therapies, including lenalidomide and bortezomib, and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy. This review focuses on the clinical trial data that led to approval and provides advice for treating physicians who are now prescribing this drug for patients.
