Dr. Mikhael will be kicking off the program with introductions and welcome and then we will be covering the following topics:

  • Should all high-risk smoldering patients be treated?
  • Is transplant still the standard of care for all eligible patients?
  • Should most patients only have maintenance therapy for 2 years?

 

Dr. Richter will argue "yes" for each topic above and Dr. Hansen will argue "no" for each topic.

What Is a Clinical Trial? (https://www.myeloma.org/clinical-trials)

*Of note, Venetoclax has already been approved to treat acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in adults and is now being evaluated to treat other types of cancers, including multiple myeloma. It is part of a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors that work by blocking the action of BCL-2 (a protein in the body that regulates cell death). Trials using Venetoclax were discussed in this webinar. You can learn about these three trials at the following links:
