Lee Greenberger, PhD, chief scientific officer, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, discusses new agents that were recently approved for multiple myeloma.
Three drugs were FDA approved within 3 weeks — Darzalex (daratumumab), Ninlaro (ixazomib), and Empliciti (elotuzumab). Darzalex and Empliciti are antibodies, and Ninlaro is a proteasome inhibitor.
The agents can be used as monotherapy or in combination with conventional therapy, Greenberger explains. They have also extended progression-free survival in patients with myeloma.
