Lenalidomide (LEN) is increasingly being used for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Adverse cutaneous reactions to LEN are common and present almost exclusively within one month of initiating therapy. We report a case of delayed-onset LEN-associated eruption presenting over three years after starting treatment. Histopathologic findings are also described, which are infrequently reported for LEN-associated eruptions. Our case serves as a reminder that proper recognition and management of LEN-associated eruption is important in the treatment of MM. Dermatologists should be aware of the potential for delayed presentations of adverse cutaneous reactions to LEN, even years after initiation.

Background: Targeting exportin1 (XPO1) with Selinexor (SEL) is a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, intrinsic and acquired drug resistance constitute great challenges. SEL has been reported to promote the degradation of XPO1 protein in tumor cells.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy with increasing global incidence. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy targeting BCMA has shown efficacy in relapsed or refractory MM, but it faces resistance due to antigen loss and the tumor microenvironment. Bispecific T-cell engaging (BITE) antibodies also encounter clinical challenges, including short half-lives requiring continuous infusion and potential toxicities.

There is no established treatment for late or chronic antibody-mediated rejection of a kidney graft. Rituximab-based treatment is not effective, since long-lived high-affinity plasma cells do not express CD20 and do not depend on previous maturation steps to generate donor-specific antibodies. Conversely, daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, directly targets plasma cells, with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. Previous studies have validated the prognostic significance of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with certain solid tumors. However, the relationship between the PLR and prognosis in myeloma patients has not been clearly demonstrated.

Background And Hypothesis: Teclistamab, a novel bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting CD3 and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are promising options for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). However, the rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with teclistamab remain inadequately characterized. This study aims to compare the incidence, severity, and outcomes of AKI between patients receiving teclistamab and CAR-T therapy.
