ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition: Multiple Myeloma

Continuous lenalidomide therapy improves outcomes among patients with newly diagnosed myeloma who are not autologous stem cell transplant candidates, according to findings from a large phase III clinical trial.

The 4-year overall survival rate is 82.3% among multiple myeloma patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation, according to a retrospective study.

In this interview we discuss the goals of therapy in multiple myeloma, treatment combinations and transplantation, and how markers such as minimal residual disease are used.
