How it Works
CELMoDs are large molecules that quickly degrade a specific set of proteins (called Ikaros and Aiolos). They are potent modulators of the cereblon E3 ligase complex, the main target of immunomodulatory agents (IMiDs), such as lenalidomide (Revlimid). They stimulate the immune system and kill malignant cells directly and more rapidly and aggressively than agents such as Pomalidomide.
How it’s Administered
CELMoDS are currently being given by intravenous injection (IV).
