Noopur Raje, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, shares her thoughts on the ongoing debate about the “watch and wait” approach in smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), citing the recent AQUILA trial (NCT03301220) as a significant study. Dr Raje states that while the trial showed a progression-free survival and overall survival (PFS; OS) benefit with daratumumab, this benefit was mainly seen in ultra-high-risk patients, suggesting that these patients may be the ones who truly benefit from treatment. This interview took place at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
