One foundation's strategy to accelerate drug discovery through genomics.

Sci Transl Med

Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium, Norwalk, CT 06851, USA.

Published: April 2011

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) has the principal goal of accelerating development of next-generation drugs for treating multiple myeloma. By making targeted investments in key research areas such as genomics and epigenetics, the MMRF is helping to elucidate the basic biology of multiple myeloma, to drive promising new treatments into clinical development, and ultimately to link the right treatment to the right patient.

Decreased STING predicts adverse efficacy in bortezomib regimens and poor survival in multiple myeloma.

Clin Exp Med

January 2025

Stem Cell Immunity and Regeneration Key Laboratory of Luzhou, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, Sichuan, China.

Purpose: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is involved in viral and bacterial defense through interferon pathway and innate immunity. Increased susceptibility to infection is a common manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM). Thus, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanism of STING in MM.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) clinical management is challenging owing to its relapse and refractoriness to treatment. Understanding the treatment patterns and refractory dynamics is crucial for optimizing patient care. This study aimed to estimate the evolution of MM according to the treatment line and refractoriness status in Italy.

Expert Opinion on Multiple Myeloma Treatment in Brazil in the Bispecific Antibody Era.

Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk

December 2024

Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro -UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Instituto Americas de Ensino, Pesquisa e Inovação, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Multiple myeloma treatment has evolved rapidly with the development of novel targeted therapies. The paper outlines multiple myeloma epidemiology, current treatments, and recent advances, highlighting the role of bispecific antibodies. Brazilian authorities have approved 3 bispecific antibodies (teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab) for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients who have received at least three prior therapies.

Oral vancomycin induced flushing syndrome in a multiple myeloma patient: A case report and review of the literature.

Medicine (Baltimore)

November 2024

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Shanghai General Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies are at high-risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Oral vancomycin is a first-line treatment for CDI. Vancomycin has been widely reported to induce flushing syndrome (also known as Red man syndrome), a well-known hypersensitivity reaction mostly occurs after intravenous administration.
