How Do Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies Impact Clinical Practice? A National Survey of Physicians
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3189. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe US Food and Drug Administration can require risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) programs for prescription drugs to ensure the benefits of use outweigh the risks. We conducted a national survey of physicians' experiences prescribing eight REMS-covered drugs: (1) ambrisentan; (2) bosentan; (3) clozapine; (4) isotretinoin; (5-7) the multiple myeloma (MM) drugs lenalidomide, pomalidomide, thalidomide; and (8) sodium oxybate. Between May 2022 and January 2023, we surveyed 5,331 physician prescribers of these drugs, and 1,295 (2...

Selinexor, daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma: results of the phase II, non-randomized, multicenter GEM-SELIBORDARA study
Haematologica. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2023.284089. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe treatment landscape for multiple myeloma has significantly evolved in the last decade. Notwithstanding, a large proportion of patients continue to relapse and novel combinations continue to be needed. In this phase 2 study, selinexor, a first-in-class inhibitor of exportin-1 was evaluated in combination with standard daratumumab-bortezomib-dexamethasone (DVd), for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The aim of the trial was to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of selinexor with DVd ...

Belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in transplant-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: Part 1 results of a phase I/II study
Haematologica. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2023.284347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPreclinical and clinical data demonstrate synergy between belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) and immunomodulatory drugs with limited overlapping toxicities. We investigated the safety and efficacy of belamaf with lenalidomide 25mg on days 1-21 every 28 days and dexamethasone 40mg weekly (belamaf-Rd) in transplant ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. 36 patients (median age 72.5 years) were randomized to receive belamaf at three different doses (2.5/1.9/1.4 mg/kg) every 8 weeks (q8w). Dosing schedule was extended t...

Functional cure and long-term survival in multiple myeloma: how to challenge the previously impossible
Haematologica. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2023.283058. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease with survival ranging from months to decades. The goal of 'cure' remains elusive for most patients, but has been shown to be possible, with durable remission and a transition to a plateau phase (analogous to monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance/smoldering Myeloma (MGUS/SMM)). Two representative cases set the stage to illustrate how this might be possible and what still needs to be determined to achieve functional disease control over a prolonged period. Several development...
