ASH 2020 | Novel drug conjugates for multiple myeloma treatment
Saad Usmani, MD, MBBS, MBA, Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, NC, discusses the latest updates in treatments for multiple myeloma. Dr Usmani discusses the CELMoDs iberdomide and CC-92480, which have shown good molecular activity profiles as monotherapies and in combination with dexamethasone. Selinexor has also shown potential in myeloma, with the BOSTON trial (NCT03110562) of selinexor plus dexamethasone and bortezomib underway in heavily pre-treated patients. Recent data on the peptide-drug conjugate melflufen and the antibody-drug conjuate belantamab mafodotin is also promising. This interview took place during the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, 2020.
