#IMS26 Tal-DR in newly diagnosed ASCT-eligible myeloma. More excellent MajesTEC-5 by @RascheLeo @RaabMarc et al! 👏 No issues with SC collection. Excellent response 👇🏼. 15% ataxia (all low-grade & recovering) - perhaps combo Tx, or truly more common as tal enters earlier lines?

This weekend, we bid farewell to Hartmut Goldschmidt, who will retire from his academic positions at the end of the month. To celebrate 35 years of @HDMyeloma, 30 years of #GMMG, a large crowd joined us for a dedicated symposium with long-standing partners and friends. #mmsm

GMMG-HD10/MajesTEC-5 represents an important and likely a watershed moment in myeloma induction and consolidation therapy! Amazing early and deep responses (100% MRD neg rates!!) 👏👏 @RascheLeo @RaabMarc et al. AntiCD38-based quadruplets set the bar pretty high for early PFS rates PFS and now we have a worthy challenger! Whether this eventually displaces autologous transplant or not, one thing is for sure—BCMA bispecifics in induction will certainly make all of us think like transplanters when it comes to our infectious disease game (>35% Gr3 infections, 6% CMV reactivation). Biggest question that will need answering is whether everyone need a BCMA TCE upfront and for how long? nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Love seeing triple-digit MRD neg percentages 🤩 Congrats @RaabMarc et al on excellent MajesTEC-5 @NatureMedicine paper! bsAb-based induction in ND myeloma - may well obviate ASCT. Top panel = ITT, bottom = MRD-evaluable. Kudos to authors for reporting both sets like this.
#Myeloma Paper of the Day: Teclistamab-based induction in TE NDMM shows MRD- CR rate 91.8% (45/49) by pre-maintenance timepoint, 100% in evaluable samples & post-induction cycle 3 (10-5 (46/46)), 6 (10-5 (46/46) & 10-6 (46/46)); ORR was 100%: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4235…. #mmsm

Fascinating - albeit a little terrifying - @LeukemiaJnl work by 🇩🇪 How does GPRC5D loss affect surviving myeloma #MMsm clones? Here, remaining cells appear to be more aggressive. Will be important to validate / rebut as talquetamab moves into earlier lines... hopefully soon!

Does ASCT still matter in the era of quadruplets? • PFS benefit remains • OS benefit unclear • Role at relapse = individualized 👉 With emerging T-cell therapies, sequencing will become even more complex. #EBMT25 #Myeloma

Other info: No beneflt from salvage HCT (if one was given in 1st response) vs continous Rd treatment (IMO) Careful about offering HCT at relapse (not given purposely in first response but "saved" for later stages) since attrition in MM up to 30% Remember best option 1st #EBMT26 – at Madrid, Spain

#EBMT26 Plenary Session on Multiple Myeloma Thats the slide Hopefully in the future we may stop offering HCT to patients It is very hard to endure for most patients Not yet though – at Madrid, Spain
