Bruno Paiva, PhD, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, discusses predictors of unsustained measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity in transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM). He notes that while many ongoing studies suggest MRD negativity could indicate stopping treatment after a few years of maintenance, some patients still progress early. Dr Paiva mentions four risk factors, indicating that if a patient presents with several of these, stopping treatment based on MRD negativity is not recommended. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
