ASCO 2015 Highlights

A phase 2 study of isatuximab added to weekly carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone demonstrated promising efficacy and safety in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Novel agent iberdomide demonstrated clinically meaningful activity and was generally well tolerated in a multicohort phase 1/2 trial.

Meta-analysis suggests that lenalidomide-carfilzomib may be the most effective maintenance treatment in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

In the first trial with this treatment regimen, quadruplet induction with Isa-KRd in patients with high-risk MM demonstrated promising activity and a tolerable safety profile.

Implementation of a pharmacist on the healthcare team can have significant clinical and economic benefits.

Updated results from a phase 1 trial of subcutaneous isatuximab via OBDS continue to demonstrate an excellent local tolerability with comparable efficacy.

Preliminary data support the use of BMS-986393 in patients with RRMM despite prior BCMA-directed therapy.

Data from a subgroup analysis of CANDOR supported the efficacy of daratumumab plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone in RRMM, even in high-risk patients.

A phase 1 trial of GC012F demonstrated an overall response rate of 100% in high-risk, transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

On January 27, 2023, the FDA accelerated the approval of pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca; Eli Lilly) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) after at least 2 lines of systemic therapy, including a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
