American Society of Hematology (ASH)

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is a professional organization representing hematologists. It was founded in 1958. Its annual meeting is held in December of every year and has attracted more than 30,000 attendees. The society publishes the medical journal Blood, the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field, which is available weekly in print and online, as well as the newly launched, online, peer-reviewed open-access journal, Blood Advances.

Novel triplet combinations are being evaluated in both the newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory settings in multiple myeloma. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ixazomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone combination therapy in a heavily pretreated, high-risk patient population.

In this analysis, researchers evaluate whether daratumumab can further reduce minimal residual disease when added to lenalidomide- and bortezomib-containing regimens in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

PREAMBLE (Prospective Research Assessment in Multiple Myeloma: An Observational Evaluation) is an ongoing multinational observational study being conducted to evaluate real-world outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma. Here, researchers present preliminary efficacy analyses in patients with one line of prior therapy.

Unmet treatment needs remain in multiple myeloma, particularly among patients with relapsed/refractory disease who have received multiple lines of therapy. This study evaluates a potential salvage approach of daratumumab-based retreatment in patients refractory to daratumumab and/or pomalidomide.

Immunotherapy is being studied as a potential treatment approach in a variety of hematologic malignancies. Here, researchers present the findings of a phase 2 trial evaluating pembrolizumab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Risk stratification tools are used to estimate survival expectations and help to guide treatment decisions after first relapse in multiple myeloma. European researchers have developed a new stratification tool consisting of 4 distinct dimensions that are used to characterize risk of survival.

Payers have expressed concern about the rising costs of combination therapies in multiple myeloma. In an effort to address these potential concerns, a budget impact model was developed to estimate the 3-year costs of adding elotuzumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone to a health plan’s formulary.

In this analysis, Connect MM, a large observational disease registry, was used to characterize evolving treatment patterns and outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Payers seek to understand the value of myeloma treatment options by assessing outcomes relative to cost. This claims-based analysis assesses trends in novel therapy use, total healthcare costs, and survival outcomes among newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients in the United States since 2000.

Recent study findings presented at the ASH 2016 Annual Meeting suggest that pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone can be used immediately following lenalidomide-based therapy to treat patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
