MULTIPLE MYELOMA

Abdullah M. Khan, MBBS, discusses the recent updates to data on the use of idecabtagene vicleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

In early lines of therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, patients receiving cilta-cel demonstrated deep and enduring responses, with overall response rates of 95% and 100% in 2 cohorts.

Bispecific antibodies are a powerful class of therapy that offer an alternative or complement to CAR T-cell therapies, but there are similar challenges to implementing them in clinical practice. In live events, experts discussed their experience setting up standard operating procedures in their cancer centers.

Linvoseltamab shows promise for patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma, achieving a 71% overall response rate in a phase 1/2 trial.

The reduced dosing frequency of 1.5 mg/kg every 2 weeks for teclistamab in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have sustained a complete response or better for at least 6 months provides flexibility in dosing schedules for patients.

Paula Rodriguez-Otero, MD, PhD, provides an overview of the phase 3 KarMMa-3 trial of idecabtagene vicleucel for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

At a live virtual event, Jack Khouri, MD, discussed how treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma have evolved with the use of bispecific antibodies giving physicians the opportunity to target BCMA and GPRC5D on the plasma cell.

According to an interim analysis of the DREAMM-7 trial, belantamab mafodotin, bortezomib, and dexamethasone achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival among patients with multiple myeloma.

In the second article of a 2-part series, Douglas Sborov, MD, discusses the toxicities seen with isatuximab and how this therapy can impact patients in rural areas relying on community center treatment.

The FDA’s Oncologic Drug Advisory Committee will be held on March 15, 2024, to review data pertaining to the supplemental biologics license application of ide-cel in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Paul Richardson, MD, further discusses the data from the CC-92480-MM-002 trial, and future directions for research of mezigdomide combinations for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Paul Richardson, MD, discusses the safety and efficacy findings from the CC-92480-MM-002 trial of mezigdomide with dexamethasone and daratumumab or elotuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The application is based on promising findings from the phase 3 PERSEUS trial which were presented at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2023.

Paul Richardson, MD, discusses the baseline characteristics of the patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma enrolled in the CC-92480-MM-002 trial.

Paul Richardson, MD, discusses the background and design of the CC-92480-MM-002 trial in multiple myeloma.

Binod Dhakal, MD, MS, discusses the safety data from the phase 2 IMPEDE study of isatuximab, pomalidomide, elotuzumab, and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The investigational new drug application for OriCAR-017 has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

In this companion article, Dr Peter Voorhees provides insights into effective management of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).

Practical insights for the management of patients with NDMM.

Summary of findings presented at the 2023 ASH meeting from this phase 2 trial using daratumumab, bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone with tandem autologous stem cell transplant in high risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

Review of the final analysis of data from the MASTER clinical trial assessing daratumumab plus carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

Overview of findings from this phase 3 study evaluating isatuximab added to carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

Review of the key primary outcome data from this trial of subcutaneous daratumumab with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for newly diagnosed transplant eligible multiple myeloma patients.

Discussion of the final data analysis comparing daratumumab plus lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone to lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone alone.

Brea C. Lipe, MD closes this series highlighting the vast landscape of effective treatments and those on the horizon.

A review of the recent findings from this clinical trial examining lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone plus autologous stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Brea C. Lipe, MD reflects on how the PERSEUS trial results may affect future treatment approaches.

Brea C. Lipe, MD explains common grade 3 and grade 4 adverse events observed in the PERSEUS trial.

During a Targeted Oncology™ Case-Based Roundtable™ event, Mansi R. Shah, MD, discussed the impact of the MagnetisMM-1 and MagnetisMM-3 trials of elranatamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This is the second of 2 articles based on this event.
