Venetoclax Plus Dexamethasone Misses PFS End Point in t(11;14)+ R/R Multiple Myeloma
The combination of venetoclax and dexamethasone failed to significantly improve progression-free survival over pomalidomide plus dexamethasone in patients with t(11;14)-positive, relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have previously received at least 2 therapies.
Elranatamab Represents Another Off-the-Shelf Option for Heavily Pretreated R/R Myeloma
Ajay Kumar Nooka, MD, MPH, FACP, highlights the significance of the FDA approval of elranatamab for select patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and sheds light on the agent’s role in the expanding field of T cell–redirecting therapies approved for the treatment of this patient population.
Dr Lonial on the Outcomes of the IKEMA Trial in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
October 3rd 2023Sagar Lonial, MD, FACP, discusses the final overall survival analysis of the phase 3 IKEMA trial of isatuximab when combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma, highlighting the progression-free survival and OS outcomes.
Venetoclax/Carfilzomib/Dexamethasone Triplet Shows Early Efficacy in t(11;14)+ R/R Myeloma
September 30th 2023The addition of venetoclax to carfilzomib and dexamethasone increased response rates compared with carfilzomib plus dexamethasone alone in patients with t(11:14)-positive relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Cilta-Cel Leads to High PFS Rates in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and Poor Prognostic Features
September 30th 2023Patients with multiple myeloma exhibiting poor prognostic features, such as high-risk cytogenetics, soft-tissue plasmacytoma, ISS stage III disease, and triple-class exposure, experienced significant progression-free survival benefit with ciltacabtagene autoleucel.
CD38/48 Upregulation With Tazemetostat May Overcome Daratumumab Resistance in Multiple Myeloma
September 29th 2023The EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat may mimic the role of the KDM6A gene in upregulating CD38 and CD48 expression, suggesting that this agent could restore responses to daratumamab in patients with multiple myeloma, according to a presentation at the 20th International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting.
IberVd Elicits Durable Responses in Transplant-Ineligible, Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
The combination of iberdomide plus bortezomib and dexamethasone produced deep responses with a manageable toxicity profile in patients with transplant-ineligible, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, according to data from the phase 1/2 CC-220-MM-001 trial presented at the 2023 International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting.
Although quadruplet combination regimens featuring daratumumab demonstrated consistent efficacy in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, certain prognostic factors were associated with early relapse, according to data from a retrospective analysis presented at the 2023 International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting.
Teclistamab Delivers Comparable Efficacy Between Real-World and MajesTEC-1 Myeloma Populations
September 29th 2023Treatment with teclistamab-cqyv in real-world patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma elicited similar efficacy results and a comparable safety profile to findings from the phase 1/2 Majes-TEC-1 trial.
