Last year was a very exciting year for the field of multiple myeloma, Thompson says, with many new drugs approved to treat the disease, including daratumumab (Darzalex). This year is about sorting out how to best use those drugs.

Recent study findings have confirmed the efficacy of daratumumab long-term, which is very exciting, Thompson says. Now, researchers are starting to investigate the drug in combination studies.
