Background: CASSIOPEIA part 1 demonstrated superior depth of response and prolonged progression-free survival with daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (D-VTd) versus bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTd) alone as an induction and consolidation regimen in transplant-eligible patients newly diagnosed with myeloma. In CASSIOPEIA part 2, daratumumab maintenance significantly improved progression-free survival and increased minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity rates versus observation. Here, we report long-term study outcomes of CASSIOPEIA.

Article Synopsis
  • Deeper responses to treatment in multiple myeloma (MM) help patients live longer.
  • In a study with newly diagnosed patients, those who responded slowly or showed deeper responses had better survival rates.
  • The results suggest that taking longer to respond to treatment isn't a bad sign and can still lead to good outcomes.

Ixazomib (IXA) is an oral proteasome inhibitor (PI) used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IXA-Rd) for patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The REMIX study is one of the largest prospective, real-world analysis of the effectiveness of IXA-Rd in the setting of RRMM. Conducted in France between August 2017 and October 2019, the REMIX study, a non-interventional prospective study, included 376 patients receiving IXA-Rd in second line or later and followed for at least 24 months.

Article Synopsis
  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is often misdiagnosed as spinal metastasis (SpM), but they differ significantly in diagnosis timing, survival rates, and treatment responses.
  • A study compared 361 MM patients to 660 SpM patients, revealing MM patients typically showed spine lesions much earlier and had a median overall survival much longer than those with SpM.
  • The findings suggest that MM should be classified as a primary bone tumor due to its distinct characteristics and patterns of spread compared to systemic metastases like SpM.
