COMy 2020 | Treating GvHD with proteasome inhibitors

Arnon Nagler, MD, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel, discusses the drugs that have been approved to treat graft versus host disease (GvHD) after transplantation. One option is to treat patients with proteasome inhibitors, such as bortezomib and carfilzomib. In an early-stage study, carfilzomib has shown a good response to prevent GvHD. However, the study compared responses to historical controls. Therefore, carfilzomib needs to be evaluated in a randomized setting. This interview took place during the Controversies in Multiple Myeloma (COMy) 2020 Virtual World Congress.
