Based on a phase 2 trial, interim results exploring the response to ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd) induction followed by a single autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), IRd consolidation, and risk-based maintenance found a 93% overall response rate (ORR). Read More ›
TOURMALINE-MM4 is an international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that examined the efficacy and safety profile of oral ixazomib as maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who have not undergone stem-cell transplantation after initial treatment and its impact on progression-free survival (PFS) compared with those taking placebo.

The randomized FORTE trial showed that patients who were newly diagnosed with transplant-eligible multiple myeloma (MM) experienced significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) with carfilzomib plus lenalidomide-dexamethasone (KRd) induction-ASCT-KRd consolidation versus either 12 KRd cycles or carfilzomib plus cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone (KCd) induction-ASCT-KCd consolidation.

Comparing consolidation treatment with bortezomib + lenalidomide + dexamethasone (VRD) followed by lenalidomide maintenance with lenalidomide maintenance alone, the former approach was superior regarding progression-free survival (PFS) and myeloma response in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) with an acceptable toxicity profile.

This multicenter, retrospective, real-world study (GEM-POMCIDEX) was initiated to evaluate the effectiveness of the guidelines established by the Spanish Myeloma Group (PETHEMA) to treat appropriate patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with pomalidomide, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (POMCIDEX).

Poor response on subsequent therapies is typically seen in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have had 3 prior lines of therapy with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs), and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. In addition, challenges for future treatment options are presented. Read More ›
Recent studies have illustrated complete response (CR) rates >50% for transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM) treated with optimized induction followed by high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). However, many patients relapse early. Patients who relapse are generally thought to have very low survival rates. Read More ›
According to data from the phase 2 FORTE trial, 3 different techniques were analyzed and compared to characterize minimal residual disease (MRD), including positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC), and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

The totality of evidence generated from comparative systematic stepwise assessment of HD201 and trastuzumab reference in terms of analytical, pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and clinical similarity demonstrated the equivalence of HD201 to trastuzumab. Read More ›
