Clinical Vignette: Managing Multiple Myeloma From Newly Diagnosed to Relapsed/Refractory Settings: An Expert Case-Based Discussion

Release Date: November 30, 2021
Expiration Date: November 30, 2022

Activity Overview

Although multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable, the past 15 years have yielded better clinical outcomes, and response rates have risen as high as 30% with monotherapy and up to 90% with combination therapies. Given the new treatments that offer the potential to improve progression-free survival and overall survival in these patients, keeping up to date on emerging clinical data is important for the selection and sequencing of therapy and the management of adverse events.

This activity provides hematologists and oncologists with a case-based review of recent clinical trials to allow them to incorporate new agents and regimens safely and appropriately and, thus, optimize the management of patients with MM throughout the course of the disease.
