Iberdomide (development code: CC-220) is an immunomodulatory drug that is being investigated for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases and hematologic malignancies. It is a derivative of thalidomide and belongs to the class of drugs known as cereblon modulators.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Iberdomide exerts its effects by binding to the cereblon protein, which is part of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. This binding leads to the degradation of specific target proteins, including Ikaros and Aiolos, which are transcription factors involved in the regulation of immune response and cell proliferation. By modulating the levels of these proteins, iberdomide can alter the activity of immune cells and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Clinical Development[edit | edit source]

Iberdomide is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of several conditions, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes. Early-phase studies have shown promising results in terms of efficacy and safety, but further research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the optimal dosing regimens.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

As with other immunomodulatory drugs, iberdomide may cause a range of side effects. Common adverse effects observed in clinical trials include neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Patients receiving iberdomide should be monitored regularly for these and other potential side effects.
