Thanks Why not BVD/BPD as 2nd line ( if Carflizomib not an option) – at Lisbon, Portugal
With 20 new drug approvals in 20 years, the treatment of relapsed myeloma may appear complex and daunting. Here is a simple way to approach your patient. In first relapse, you essentially 3 main choices: CART (ciltacel), Tec-Dara, or one of the standard triplets (DPd, DKd, etc). In second or later relapse, you have an additional key choice, belantamab. If the patient is not refractory to dara, omit the dara; bispecific alone or non-dara containing triplet (eg KPd). How to choose? We usually decide among these 3-4 key options based on patient choice and feasibility. Some patients may prefer the one shot approach with CART. In some, the disease is too aggressive to consider CART. In some, CART or bispecifics may just not be feasible or available and you have to go with triplet or belantamab. mSMART.org

#ASH25 Key abstract to watch in acute myeloid leukemia #AML #leusm 🧵 Overall Takeaways #Menin_inhibitors (revumenib, ziftomenib, enzomenib) are rapidly emerging as key agents in both frontline and R/R AML. Triplet regimens (VEN/AZA + targeted therapy) show promise across AML subtypes. Novel immunotherapies (bispecific FLT3×CD3) and CD123-directed therapy continue to expand the therapeutic landscape. Real-world data in TP53-mutant AML remain critical for optimizing HMA selection.
