Multiple Myeloma

The addition of daratumumab to lenalidomide and dexamethasone continued to reduced the risk of death by 32% compared with Rd alone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant ineligible after almost 5 years of follow-up.

Daratumumab maintenance therapy yielded an increase in response following autologous stem cell transplant plus induction and consolidation therapy with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Intensified induction therapy with daratumumab in addition to cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone and bortezomib-augmented autologous stem cell transplant yielded robust responses in patients with ultra¬ high–risk multiple myeloma or primary plasma cell leukemia

Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who were treated with ciltacabtagene autoleucel experienced improved outcomes over those who received a conventional therapy

Drs Hoffman and Richter discuss a promising new treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who are not eligible for a clinical trial after 4 lines of therapy.

Experts in treating multiple myeloma discuss the trials that led to the approval of selinexor with bortezomib and dexamethasone, and which patient population would benefit from treatment, as well as the dosing, safety, and efficacy.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel demonstrated efficacious responses and significant improvements in survival over standard of care in triple class–relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The incidence of grade ≥2 cytokine release syndrome was lower in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received anakinra prophylaxis with orvacabtagene autoleucel, a B-cell maturation antigen-targeted CAR T-cell therapy.

OncLive sits down with Sandy Wong, MD; Neal Shore, MD; and Loretta Nastoupil, MD, to share the the insight on data in multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting.

The BCMA-targeting humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody elranatamab elicited high response rates when subcutaneously delivered at higher doses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Talquetamab, when delivered at the recommended phase 2 dose of 405 µg/kg weekly, induced a high clinical response rate with favorable tolerabilty in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Treatment with teclistamab, administered subcutaneously at a dose of 1500 µg/kg once weekly, led to a high response rate and an encouraging safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel, an investigational BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy, sustained efficacy and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The 2-year progression free survival achieved with carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone consolidation did not prove to be noninferior to up-front autologous stem cell transplantation in newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma, although the margin is small.

Dr. Munshi discusses the significance of the FDA approval of ide-cel in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, data from the KarMMa trial, which served as the basis for the approval, and next steps for CAR T-cell therapy in the field.

The autologous CAR T-cell product CART-ddBCMA was found to elicit a 100% objective response rate in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, with deep and durable responses noted in those with poor prognostic factors.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation was safe when used with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen of bortezomib, fludarabine, and melphalan in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma.

Deep and early responses were yielded with a single infusion of ciltacabtagene autoleucel in patients with previously treated, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The CAR T-cell therapy idecabtagene vicleucel continues to demonstrate improved survival among heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
