Paul Richardson, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, discusses challenges associated with drug approvals in multiple myeloma in Europe and the United States, commenting on several agents being explored, including melphalan flufenamide (melflufen), panobinostat and belantamab mafodotin. Dr Richardson highlights findings from several trials which investigated these agents, with some suggesting contradicting results, which has ultimately influenced the approval of these agents. Dr Richardson also explains the importance of further investigating these agents to provide more definitive answers and to see where they may fit in the myeloma treatment landscape. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
