2021 Year in Review - Multiple Myeloma

Results of a phase 2 IFM study demonstrated that quadruplet combination regimen of D-IRD as induction and consolidation therapy after ASCT followed by lenalidomide maintenance therapy was safe and resulted in increased depth of responses over time in standard-risk patients with NDMM. Read More ›

Results of the phase 2 HOVON 143 study indicate that ixazomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone is an effective and feasible regimen in intermediate-fit patients with non–transplant-eligible NDMM. Read More ›

Corneal event management guidelines were developed with the goal of assisting practicing hematologists/oncologists in assessing and managing belantamab mafodotin–associated ocular events so that patients may continue to maximize clinical benefit with belantamab mafodotin therapy. Read More ›

The 18-month longer follow-up results of the ANDROMEDA study demonstrated sustained clinical benefits of D-VCd versus VCd in terms of hematologic and organ responses in patients with newly diagnosed light chain amyloidosis, with no additional safety signals. Read More ›

Data from the ongoing phase 1/2 MajesTEC-1 study suggested that treatment with the BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody teclistamab induced deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM, with a manageable safety profile. Read More ›

Updated results of the KarMMa trial showed that ide-cel CAR T-cell therapy resulted in durable and deep responses in heavily pretreated, triple-class–exposed patients with RRMM, supporting an overall favorable clinical benefit–risk profile. Read More ›

Updated analysis of the first-in-human phase 1/2 trial showed that BCMA x CD3 bispecific monoclonal antibody REGN5458 monotherapy resulted in early, deep, and durable responses with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM. Read More ›

Updated results of the ICARIA-MM study demonstrated that addition of isatuximab to pomalidomide/low-dose dexamethasone led to significant improvements in efficacy outcomes compared with pomalidomide/low-dose dexamethasone alone in patients with RRMM. Read More ›

Preliminary data suggest that patients with both MM and WM show impaired serologic responses following COVID-19 vaccines, with more severe impairment of COVID-19 S-protein antibody responses observed in the Waldenström macroglobulinemia cohort, and mRNA-1273 eliciting higher responses than other vaccines.

Results of a multicohort, phase 1/2 study indicated that the novel cereblon E3 ligase modulator iberdomide plus dexamethasone and daratumumab, bortezomib, or carfilzomib was associated with a tolerable safety profile and promising antitumor activity in patients with heavily pretreated RRMM.
