New prognostic systems for multiple myeloma in the context of contemporary therapies Available to Purchase

Recent clinical trials in both transplant eligible and ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma utilising three and four drug combinations have demonstrated unprecedented levels of response. However, two recently published studies redefining high-risk in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in the context of these newer and more effective treatments demonstrate that a significant minority of patients likely derive little benefit from these newer approaches. These new prognostic systems thus provide an evidence-based framework for the development of much needed risk-stratified clinical trials.
