Purpose: Iberdomide is a cereblon E3 ligase modulator capable of redirecting the protein degradation machinery of the cell towards the elimination of target proteins potentially driving therapeutic effects. In vitro studies demonstrated that iberdomide predominantly undergoes oxidative metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5 but had no notable inhibition or induction of CYP enzymes. Consequently, the potential of iberdomide as a victim of drug-drug interactions (DDI) was evaluated in a clinical study with healthy subjects.

CC-122 (Avadomide) is a nonphthalimide analogue of thalidomide that has multiple pharmacological activities including immune modulation of several immune cell subsets, antigrowth activity, antiproliferative activity, and antiangiogenic activity. CC-122 as monotherapy and in combination with other agents is being evaluated for multiple indications including hematologic malignancies and advanced solid tumors. Given that renal clearance is one of the major routes of elimination for CC-122 and its clearance/exposure could be affected by renal impairment, a total of 50 subjects with various degrees of renal function were enrolled in an open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the impact of renal impairment on CC-122 pharmacokinetic disposition.

Avadomide (CC-122) is a novel immunomodulatory drug that binds to cereblon, a member of the Cullin 4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Avadomide has multiple pharmacologic activities including potent immune modulation, antiangiogenic, antitumor, and antiproliferative activity and is being evaluated as an oncology treatment for hematologic malignancies and advanced solid tumors. In vitro study has indicated that cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and CYP1A2 appear to be the major enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism of avadomide.
