The International Myeloma Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of multiple myeloma patients while working toward
prevention and a cure through our four founding principles: Research, Education, Support, and Advocacy.
The goal of this activity is to increase the knowledge and competence of hematologists/oncologists and other clinicians who care for patients with multiple myeloma in the areas of treatment selection for transplant-ineligible patients, maintenance therapy, and management of therapy-related adverse events.
The Phase 3 TOURMALINE-MM4 study has met its primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS). "The trial evaluated the effect of single-agent oral NINLARO™ (ixazomib) as a first line maintenance therapy versus placebo in adult patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma not treated with stem cell transplantation."

Once again, the IMF will bring myeloma support group leaders and patients to the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). Visit this site to learn what these IMF ASH team members have to share about the latest clinical updates in myeloma research and treatment strategies.
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) released late-breaking abstracts to be presented in a few weeks at the organization’s 2019 annual meeting. IMF Chairman Brian G.M. Durie, MD, tells what makes this—and several other ASH myeloma studies—worth knowing about.
In this week’s video, Dr. Durie explains what a "BEAT" is, and how it is similar to a BiTE.
Need to stay informed about the news that impacts myeloma patients, but don’t have time to read everything out there? Then be sure to follow Dr. Brian Durie’s Week in Review blog. The leading myeloma expert and IMF Chairman of the Board drills down on a wide range of topics – from the latest myeloma research results to the environmental issues that offer insight into prevention. He sifts through the data to deliver the bottom line.
The support of loved ones allows us to continue to fund efforts to search for a cure. Check out how Fundraisers are helping in the fight against myeloma.
