MRD2STOP is a pragmatic trial evaluating maintenance therapy cessation guided by measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity in multiple myeloma (MM). Eligible patients had previous MRD < 10, received ≥1 year of maintenance, and were prospectively confirmed to have undetectable disease by positron emission tomography, bone marrow (BM) flow cytometry (limit of detection [LoD] 10), and BM clonoSEQ (LoD 10). BM aspirates enriched for CD138 cells were analyzed by clonoSEQ to achieve MRD 10 sensitivity.

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 24 cycles of Dara in combination with carfilzomib (K), lenalidomide (R), and dexamethasone (d) without autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) irrespective of ASCT eligibility in a single-arm, phase II study. The primary endpoint was the rate of stringent complete response (sCR) and/or measurable residual disease (MRD) < 10 by next-generation sequencing (NGS) at the end of cycle 8 (C8). MRD was also assessed on peripheral blood samples using both the EXENT system and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Mass spectrometry (MS) can detect multiple myeloma-derived monoclonal proteins in the peripheral blood (PB) with high sensitivity, potentially serving as a PB assay for measurable residual disease (MRD). This study evaluated the significance of PB MS MRD negativity during posttransplant therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Serum samples from 138 patients treated in the phase 3 ATLAS trial of posttransplant maintenance with either carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, or with lenalidomide alone were analyzed using EXENT MS methodology.

We performed a phase I study of weekly selinexor, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (wSKd) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The primary objective was to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of wSKd. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

Importance: Treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) with a quadruplet regimen consisting of a monoclonal antibody, proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory imide, and corticosteroid has been associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with triplet regimens. The optimal quadruplet combination, and whether this obviates the need for frontline autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), remains unknown. We evaluated elotuzumab and weekly carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Elo-KRd) without ASCT in NDMM.
