Meral Beksac, MD, PhD, Istinye University Ankara Liv Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, discusses the Phase II EMN19 trial (NCT04166565), which is assessing the treatment of extramedullary disease (EMD) in multiple myeloma (MM) with daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (Dara-VCd). Dr Beksac highlights the impact of combining complete metabolic response (CMR) with marrow measurable residual disease (MRD) to analyze patient outcome. Patients who achieved both demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) over those who only achieved one or none of these. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
