Management of Multiple Myeloma: Using Emerging Therapies with ASCT

Multiple myeloma (MM) management has undergone profound changes in the past few decades, this is largely due to advances in understanding the disease biology and the development of new therapeutic options. However, this progress has also led to an increasingly complex treatment environment. Numerous questions remain, particularly in the transplant setting, such as the role of high-dose chemotherapy, the use of continuous/maintenance therapy, and the best treatment sequence for a patient with multiple myeloma.

In this CME activity, leading experts in multiple myeloma will review changes in the treatment paradigm, optimal patient selection for transplant, and data from recent clinical trials. They will also provide insight into new strategies for individualized management, the role of early versus late transplant, and how to incorporate novel therapies into clinical practice.
