KRd Maintenance Improves PFS in Transplant-Eligible Multiple Myeloma

Dr Jakubowiak discusses interim findings from the ATLAS trial of lenalidomide plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone vs lenalidomide maintenance in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, contextualizes these data within the broader post-transplant landscape, and previews the next steps for this research.

Andrzej Jakubowiak, MD, PhD, highlighted several key studies that influenced the development and design of the ATLAS trial, introduced conclusions from the initial efficacy data, and discussed how ongoing analysis could further contextualize and inform post-transplant treatment approaches in multiple myeloma.

Andrzej Jakubowiak, MD, PhD, discusses initial efficacy results from the phase 3 ATLAS trial in multiple myeloma.

Maintenance therapy with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone led to a significant improvement in progression-free survival vs lenalidomide alone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who underwent autologous stem cell transplant after induction therapy, according to an unplanned interim analysis of the phase 3 ATLAS trial.
