Adjusted Indirect Treatment Comparison of Progression-Free Survival with D-Rd and VRd Based on MAIA and SWOG S0777 Individual Patient-Level Data
ConclusionThis anchored ITC demonstrated a greater PFS benefit for D-Rd versus VRd in TIE patients with NDMM. In the absence of head-to-head trials comparing D-Rd and VRd, the present trial may help inform treatment selection in this patient population. (Source: Advances in Therapy)

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after exposure to lenalidomide in first line of therapy: a single center database review in greece
Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) will develop disease recurrence during first-line (1L) treatment and eventually to subsequent treatments. These patients become refractory to treatment (developing relapsed/refractory MM [RRMM]), with disease severity and duration of remission worsening with each successive relapse.1, 2 (Source: Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia)

BCMA Directed Bispecific Antibody Induced Tumor Flare in Multiple Myeloma
A 53-year-old man with relapsed multiple myeloma presented with bilateral upper limb sensorimotor symptoms caused by an enlarging cervical spine (C3) tumoral lesion. His prior treatments included spinal surgery and radiotherapy (RT) 11 years earlier for solitary plasmacytoma, daratumumab bortezomib lenalidomide dexamethasone followed by high dose melphalan and autologous stem-cell transplantation and daratumumab + lenalidomide maintenance as first line therapy for systemic myeloma 4 years before current presentation.

Hartley-Brown Clifton C. Mo Omar Nadeem Shonali Midha Jacob P. Laubach Paul G. Richardson Mezigomide is an oral cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD) that is under clinical investigation in patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) multiple myeloma (MM). Like other CELMoD compounds, mezigdomide acts by altering the conformation of cereblon within the cullin 4A ring ligase–cereblon (CRL4CRBN) ...

Toripalimab plus lenalidomide for central nervous system recurrence in refractory CD5(+) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with MYD88 and CD79B comutation: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that toripalimab may be a new therapeutic option for central nervous system recurrence in refractory CD5+ DLBCL with MYD88 and CD79B comutation. Further clinical trials are warranted to confirm these results.PMID:38482415 | PMC:PMC10928622 | DOI:10.21037/tcr-23-1638 (Source: Cell Research)

A real-world pharmacovigilance study of FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) events for Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) single and its combination therapy
CONCLUSIONS: The Ibrutinib-Obinutuzumab combo has the highest risk of infection, atrial fibrillation and myelosuppression, the Ibrutinib-Lenalidomide combo has the highest risk of pyrexia. However, the Ibrutinib-Venetoclax combo has a lower risk of hemorrhage than monotherapy.PMID:38456691 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2024.2327507 (Source: Expert Opinion on Drug Safety)

Cost-Effectiveness of Novel Agent Regimens for Transplant-Eligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients in India
ConclusionAt the current WTP threshold of one-time per capita GDP ( ₹ 146,890) of India, VRd alone and VRd plus AHSCT has 38.1% and 6.9% probability to be cost-effective, respectively. Reduction in current reimbursement rates of novel drugs, namely VRd, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide plus dexamethasone under national insurance program and societal cost of transpla nt by 50%, would make VRd plus AHSCT and VTd plus AHSCT cost-effective at an incremental cost of ₹40,671 (US$34) and ₹97,639 (US$1,281) per QALY gained, respectively.
