Abstract

Major progress has been made in the treatment of older patients (≥65 years) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. To date, continuous lenalidomide-based regimens are considered as standard of care for transplantation-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.1 In the past 10 years, immunotherapy was established as a new cornerstone of myeloma therapy, in addition to proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. The incorporation of daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD38, with lenalidomide and dexamethasone led to progression-free and overall survival improvement in older patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
