Daratumumab plus KRd improved MRD negativity and PFS vs KRd alone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Results from the PERSEUS trial support daratumumab plus bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as a standard of care in transplant-eligible NDMM.

Subgroup data from the CEPHEUS trial reinforce daratumumab plus bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone as a standard of care in this population.

The dual high-affinity binding observed with ISB 2001 may avoid resistance mechanisms reported with other BCMA-targeted therapies.

Subgroup data from CARTITUDE-4 suggest that cilta-cel may overcome the poor prognosis associated with some high-risk features in multiple myeloma.

PFS was improved with belantamab mafodotin triplet for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with high-risk cytogenetics.

The safety profile of talquetamab continued to show a lower high-grade infection risk relative to other approved anti-BCMA bispecific antibodies.

At a median time to response of 1 month, isatuximab elicited a median duration of response of 10.3 months in patients with multiple myeloma.

Combination therapies with teclistamab exhibited a superior overall response rate vs teclistamab monotherapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

A Chinese phase 2 trial found that anti-GPRC5D CAR T-cell therapy elicited an ORR of 84% in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The European Commission is expected to approve the belantamab mafodotin combinations for this multiple myeloma population in the third quarter of 2025.

Based on the trial population and end point criteria, ODAC voted for daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fijh injection for SQ use in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.

Data from the DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 trials support the approval of belantamab mafodotin for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in Japan.

A panel of experts discussed their institutions’ practices for administering bispecific antibodies, BCMA or GPRC5D, to patients with multiple myeloma.

The safety profile of daratumumab plus bortezomib, melphalan, and prednisone remained stable at follow-up, and no new safety signals were observed.

CRS and ICANS occurrence were comparable for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma 75 years and older vs those younger than 75.

Investigators of the phase 1/2 CFT7455-1101 study have determined cemsidomide at a dose of 100 µg safe for expansion.

Phase 1 data demonstrate enduring responses with ISB 2001 among patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Extramedullary disease was the only factor that correlated with worse progression-free survival per multivariate analysis.

The EU approval was based on results from the phase 1/2 LINKER-MM1 trial assessing the efficacy of linvoseltamab in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Findings indicate a need to address protein-energy malnutrition in the treatment of those who have multiple myeloma with acute congestive heart failure.

Treatment with daratumumab-based combination therapies may drive minimal residual disease conversion rates in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Final analysis data from the phase 3 ALCYONE trial support using frontline daratumumab-containing regimens for those with transplant-ineligible NDMM.

Disease control following radiotherapy appeared to be optimal in a retrospective cohort of patients with multiple myeloma.

Results from the DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 trials support the approval of belantamab mafodotin with chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Data from the phase 3 CEPHEUS trial support the European Commission’s approval of the daratumumab-based regimen.

Subgroup data from the IMROZ trial showed Isa-VRd improved survival and responses vs VRd alone in patients who were frail with newly diagnosed myeloma.
