Optimizing Multiple Myeloma Treatment: Quadruplet Therapy

Health care professionals delve into discussions on using quadruplets in multiple myeloma treatment, addressing challenges, and considerations for high-risk patients.

This is a video synopsis/summary of a Peer Exchange featuring Joshua Richter, MD; Rafat Abonour, MD; Faith Davies, MD; and Amrita Krishnan, MD.

Richter discusses the role of K-based quadruplets for myeloma patients, referencing studies such as the PERSEUS trial (NCT03710603). Abonour emphasizes considering carfilzomib as a stronger proteasome inhibitor for high-risk and younger patients. Krishnan offers a contrarian view based on PERSEUS data, questioning the necessity of Krd (carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone)-based regimens for all high-risk patients. The discussion extends to consolidation and long-term maintenance strategies, with Abonour highlighting the importance of correctly identifying high-risk patients and expressing interest in data on consolidation in ultra high-risk cases. Richter raises the question of continuing K beyond 2 years in maintenance, considering patient preferences and minimal residual disease dynamics. The panel contemplates a future app for personalized maintenance decisions.
