IMS 2024 | The addition of elotuzumab to backbone treatment regimens for myeloma: key takeaways

Bruno Costa, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, discusses the use of elotuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting SLAMF7, for treating relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM). Dr Costa conducted a meta-analysis of over 2,700 patients, which showed that the addition of elotuzumab to backbone treatment regimens improves progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and response rates. However, elotuzumab does not benefit newly diagnosed patients, highlighting its role in later treatment lines. This interview took place at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
