ICYMI: Elotuzumab reduces progression risk in lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma


 

FROM THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE

Patients with multiple myeloma who did not respond to treatment with lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor had a significantly lower risk of progression or death when receiving elotuzumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone, compared with pomalidomide and dexamethasone alone (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.86; P = .008), according to results of a multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 2 trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine 2018 Nov 7. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1805762.

Study results of ELOQUENT-3 were presented earlier this year at the Annual Congress of the European Hematology Association.
