In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we welcomed Sagar Lonial, MD, FACP, FASCO, to discuss the significance of the August 2026 FDA accelerated approval of iberdomide (Zenbexus) plus daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (Darzalex Faspro) and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent. Dr Lonial is a professor and chair of the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine, as well as chief medical officer at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

In the exclusive interview, Dr Lonial discussed the significance of the first approval of a CELMoD-based therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, detailed the key findings from the phase 3 EXCALIBER-RRMM trial (NCT04975997) that supported the regulatory decision, and expanded on how this combination regimen fits into the early relapse treatment paradigm.
