For as long as practicing oncology pharmacists have been in the field, multiple myeloma carried a standard caveat: treatable, not curable—now that is changing.
A phase 1/2 analysis found rapid, deep responses with mezigdomide plus elranatamab in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, but the small cohort and limited follow-up require cautious interpretation.
Phase 3 CERVINO results show that monthly etentamig significantly improved PFS and response rates compared with investigator-selected therapy in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma.
The randomized ALLIANCE A051701 trial closed early when treatment-related toxicity and mortality were increased without improving PFS in patients with newly diagnosed double-hit lymphoma.
An investigational glypican-3–directed CAR T-cell therapy engineered to express IL-15 and IL-21 produced a complete response lasting at least 1 year in a child with chemotherapy-resistant metastatic hepatoblastoma.
