  • Thalidomide and Pregnancy
    Thalidomide This sheet talks about exposure to thalidomide in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. What is thalidomide? Thalidomide is a sedative that also changes the body’s immune response and reduces the ability of the body to grow new blood vessels. Thalidomide was one of the first medications recognized to cause birth defects in humans. Thalidomide was not released in the United States until 1998. It has been used to treat several medical conditions, such as leprosy, certain types of cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and complications from HIV infection. It is sold under the brand name Thalomid®. I take thalidomide. Can it make it harder for me to get pregnant? There has been one small study that looked at women who had inflammatory bowel disease and were treated with thalidomide. This study suggested exposure to thalidomide might reduce the number of eggs in the ovaries. It is not clear if this would affect fertility. Further study is needed. Because thalidomide can cause birth defects when taken early in pregnancy, often before a woman recognizes that she is pregnant, it is very important that effective methods of birth control be used correctly and all of the time. It is recommended that two different and reliable methods of birth control be used if a woman is taking thalidomide. Thalidomide may decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives (birth control pills). The manufacturer developed the REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) program (formerly known as the S.T.E.P.S.® program) to help prevent exposure to pregnant women.

Although docetaxel chemotherapy has been used for more than fifteen years to treat metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, the high inter-individual variability of treatment efficacy and toxicity is still not well understood. Since prostate cancer has a high heritability, inherited biomarkers of the genomic signature may be appropriate tools to guide treatment. In this review, we provide an extensive overview and discuss the current state of the art of pharmacogenomic biomarkers modulating docetaxel treatment of prostate cancer. This includes (1) research studies with a focus on germline genomic biomarkers, (2) clinical trials including a range of genetic signatures, and (3) their implementation in treatment guidelines.
