In the future, the multiple myeloma field may gradually shift away from a continuous therapy model to more fixed-duration approaches.

The multiple myeloma field may have even better treatment options available by the time some patients experience disease recurrence years down the line.

From key clinical trial updates to reports on treatment disparities, the 2026 Tandem Meetings saw several critical developments in multiple myeloma.

Research may support the development of more comprehensive risk-stratification models accounting for different tumor-intrinsic factors.

Potential FDA approval of teclistamab plus daratumumab may offer another option in the multiple myeloma armamentarium, said Surbhi Sidana, MD.
