The FDA’s ODAC voted against the current benefit-risk profile of #Blenrep. Approval of this novel therapy is still pending.
The MMRF continues to champion safety, equitable access, shared decision-making & team-based care in the development of new #myeloma therapies.
▪️Beta 2-microglobulin (B2M): A protein found in the blood indicates the presence of myeloma
▪️Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP): Used to detect the presence and levels of various proteins like M protein
▪️Complete blood count (CBC): the level of hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
▪️Chemistry profile (CMP): Measure levels of albumin, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the blood
Having the right tests is important: they help your doctor confirm a diagnosis, assess the extent of your disease, & monitor progress once you start treatment. Download our Learn Your Labs booklet to better understand the blood tests used in myeloma care: themmrf.org/educational-...

14.07.2025 15:27 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The FDA just approved a new #Elrexfio dosing schedule. Patients who achieve a sustained response after a set time can now dose every 4 weeks — a shift from the previous standard of biweekly dosing. This is a meaningful step toward reduced treatment burden in #MultipleMyeloma.

The FDA’s removal of REMS for CAR T therapy is a big step forward—improving access for #myeloma patients, especially in rural and underserved areas. It lowers barriers to care and expands access to next-generation CAR T therapies and treatment combinations. #HealthEquity
