ASH 2024 | Addressing the underrepresentation of elderly individuals in myeloma clinical trials
Ola Landgren, MD, PhD, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center & University of Miami, Miami, FL, comments on the challenges of including older patients in clinical trials for multiple myeloma. Prof. Landgren highlights that the average age of onset for myeloma is 70, and 95% of patients are 50 years or older, making it essential to consider real-world data from large populations to generate insights on the effectiveness of treatments. He believes that with the introduction of modern therapies, older patients can now benefit, with the hope that this may lead to improved outcomes and potentially similar lifespans to those without myeloma. This interview took place at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
