What are Immunomodulators?

Immunomodulators

These medicines help your immune system respond more effectively to lymphoma cells, as well as targeting the lymphoma cells themselves to stop them from dividing. Currently, these aren’t available for people with WM, as clinical trials have shown them to have problematic side effects. However, a newer type of immunomodulator called pomalidomide has shown more promising results in treating people with WM.

With a diagnosis of Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia, you may be coming across new and unfamiliar words. Look them up in our WM glossary below.
