Navigating the treatment landscape in multiple myeloma: which combinations to use and when?

Abstract: Multiple myeloma is one of the most common hematological malignancies, affecting mainly elderly patients. The treatment landscape for the management of this disease has evolved significantly over the past 15 years, and a vast array of therapeutics is now available, including immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies. As a result, deciding which drugs to use and when, and whether these should be used in a particular order or combination, can be chal… Show more

“…In addition, one should consider that oral therapies will increasingly be used, therefore adding other important challenges with regard to patients' management. Indeed, several highly effective drugs are also available as oral agents and their use can improve patient's management, although they are typically more expensive than parenteral compounds [1,2]. In addition, subcutaneous administrations are also increasingly compared to intravenous (IV) long infusions, representing this route another good option to facilitate patient's management.…”

“…In addition, subcutaneous administrations are also increasingly compared to intravenous (IV) long infusions, representing this route another good option to facilitate patient's management. Therefore, compared to the recent past, a wide range of treatment agents is now available and several other therapeutic approaches, such as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy and Immune checkpoint inhibitors [1,2], are under development. As a result of the introduction of novel agents, the clinical outcome of MM has significantly improved and, for many of patients, the disease has turned into a long-term chronic condition characterized by clinical remissions alternated with relapses [1,2].…”
