3. agree to perform the pregnancy testing during the study

• Male patients must always use a condom during any sexual contact with females of reproductive potential while taking pomalidomide and for up to 4 weeks after discontinuing pomalidomide, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy. Meanwhile male patients taking pomalidomide must not donate sperm.
• Subjects agree not to share medication with another person
