2021 Year in Review - Multiple Myeloma
In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the practice of medicine and the dissemination of treatment advances presented in scientific forums. Read More ›
Longer follow-up results of the phase 2 GRIFFIN trial demonstrated that the addition of daratumumab to RVd induction/consolidation in conjunction with ASCT, followed by 24 months of daratumumab-lenalidomide maintenance resulted in deep and durable responses, including stringent CR and MRD negativity rates, in patients with transplant-eligible NDMM.

Results of the 18-month follow-up of the phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 trial indicated that a single infusion of cilta-cel produced early, deep, and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM, with manageable toxicity. Read More ›
These results indicate that quadruplet induction therapy with daratumumab plus carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (D-KRd); ASCT; and MRD response–adapted D-KRd consolidation therapy yielded high MRD negativity rates in patients with NDMM. Read More ›
Findings of the multicohort phase 1 TRIMM-2 trial showed that the G-protein–coupled receptor family C group 5 member D x CD3 bispecific antibody talquetamab in combination with daratumumab therapy was well-tolerated and resulted in promising antitumor activity in patients with RRMM, supporting further evaluation of this combination.

A subgroup analysis of the FORTE study found that carfilzomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone induction/consolidation (KRd) plus ASCT and carfilzomib-lenalidomide maintenance provided survival benefit to patients of all cytogenetic risk groups, including patients at high risk. Read More ›
A simulation modeling that incorporated clinically representative sequences for patients with transplant-ineligible NDMM and included attrition rates supports using the D-Rd regimen in the first-line setting instead of reserving it for later lines of therapy. Read More ›
Final analysis results of the LYRA study demonstrated that daratumumab in combination with CyBorD induction therapy and as maintenance yielded durable and deep responses in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent MM irrespective of ASCT status, with no new safety signals. Read More ›
Preliminary results of the phase 1 MagnetisMM-1 study indicated that the BCMA-targeted CD3-engaging bispecific molecule elranatamab had a manageable safety profile and induced deep and durable clinical responses as a single agent in heavily treated patients with RRMM. Read More ›
Results of part B of a phase 1b trial showed that the addition of isatuximab (using the short-duration, fixed-volume infusion method) to standard-of-care VRd was feasible, safe, and effective in patients with NDMM ineligible or with no immediate intent for ASCT. Read More ›
