• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0, 1, or 2.
• Willingness to return to enrolling institution for follow-up.
• Disease free of prior malignancies for ≥ 3 year with exception of currently treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma “insitu” of the cervix or breast, or prostate cancer not requiring therapy.
• Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to ASA may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin).
• All study participants must be willing to be registered into the mandatory pomalidomide (POMALYST®) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS®) program and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the POMALYST REMS® program.
• Females of reproductive potential* must be willing to adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as required in the POMALYST REMS® program.
• Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent form (ICF) and authorization to use protected health information.

*Female of reproductive potential is any sexually mature female who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal (not having menstrual cycles due to cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months.
