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.

Results of the CARDAMON trial indicate that, although carfilzomib maintenance was feasible and yielded higher MRD negativity rates at 6 months with ASCT than with consolidation, it was associated with a higher incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events and discontinuations after ASCT. Read More ›

Interim analysis results of the phase 3 MAIA trial demonstrated that frontline daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone provided OS benefit compared with lenalidomide/dexamethasone in patients with NDMM ineligible for stem-cell transplantation. Read More ›

In the CARTITUDE-2 cohort A that included patients with MM who had received 1 to 3 previous lines of therapy and were lenalidomide-refractory, a single infusion of cilta-cel CAR T-cell therapy produced early and deep responses, with a manageable safety profile. Read More ›

Initial primary analysis results of the ongoing phase 3 GMMG-HD7 trial demonstrated that the addition of isa­tuximab to the standard-of-care RVd regimen was associated with superior MRD negativity rates after induction, and the regimen was not accompanied by emergence of new safety signals or early discontinuation.

The International Myeloma Working Group developed evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the treatment of RRMM, with the goal to help guide real-world clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. Read More ›
