Abstract

Multiple myeloma, a malignant neoplasm of plasma cells that accumulate in bone marrow, accounts for approximately 18% of hematologic malignancies in the United States. Patients are often treated with triplet therapy and may undergo stem cell transplantation. Despite effective therapies, multiple myeloma remains incurable. Patients often require maintenance therapy, and many will progress or relapsed following upfront treatment. Selection of treatment in the relapse/refractory setting is complex due numerous active therapeutic agents and combinations. Treatment is often tailored to prior exposure and duration. In 2020, three novel pharmacological agents were approved in the relapsed setting. We highlight the clinical safety and efficacy of selinexor, isatuximab-irfc, and belantamab mafodotin for patients with multiple myeloma.
