Dr. Binod Dhakal leads a discussion on the increasingly complex treatment landscape of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), focusing on how clinicians navigate sequencing decisions among BCMA-directed therapies, including CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies.

The TOP trial, a phase three study focused exclusively on TP53-mutant EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, validated the FLAURA2 findings in this high-risk subset, showing a striking PFS benefit of 34.0 versus 15.6 months (HR 0.44) for osimertinib plus chemotherapy over monotherapy, with a favorable duration of response of 32.7 versus 15.9 months, though overall survival data remain immature.

Dr. Park addresses management of low-grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs), the most common toxicities encountered with checkpoint inhibitors, including dermatitis, pruritus, and GI symptoms.

Dr. Ajai Chari and NP Samantha Shenoy discuss practical considerations for long-term management of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), focusing on treatment duration, ongoing therapy, and patient-centered care. The faculty explore the rationale for continuous treatment approaches and how response depth, including minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, may continue to evolve with extended therapy. The conversation emphasizes that treatment duration decisions should be individualized based on tolerability, patient preferences, comorbidities, and long-term management goals. Dr. Chari and NP Shenoy also review real-world follow-up strategies, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, symptom management, patient education, and shared decision-making throughout the treatment journey. Practical insights are provided regarding the role of advanced practice providers in supporting adherence, monitoring treatment-related toxicities, and helping patients navigate prolonged therapy while maintaining quality of life and optimizing clinical outcomes in NDMM.

Dr. Iyengar addresses common patient fears about vision loss, noting this represents a primary concern when discussing ocular toxicity. Dr. Sunshine provides reassurance that these represent reversible changes with appropriate monitoring and early intervention, emphasizing the importance of early detection through regular examinations.

The FLAURA2 phase three trial demonstrated that adding platinum-based chemotherapy to osimertinib significantly improved outcomes over osimertinib monotherapy in first-line EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, with a median PFS of 29.4 versus 19.9 months and a statistically significant overall survival benefit of 47.5 versus 37.6 months.
