Targeting Post-Transplant Myeloid Immune Suppression in Multiple Myeloma: Why CSF-1R Blockade May Enhance Lenalidomide Maintenance After ASCT

Targeting Post-Transplant Myeloid Immune Suppression in Multiple Myeloma: Why CSF-1R Blockade May Enhance Lenalidomide Maintenance After ASCT

A new Blood study links relapse after myeloma ASCT to CSF-1R+ immunosuppressive marrow macrophages and shows that CSF-1R inhibition synergizes with lenalidomide in preclinical models, providing a strong translational rationale for post-transplant combination maintenance.

Optimizing Treatment in Frail Elderly with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Insights from the IFM2017-03 Trial on Dexamethasone-Sparing Daratumumab and Lenalidomide Regimen

The IFM2017-03 phase 3 trial demonstrates that a dexamethasone-sparing regimen combining daratumumab with lenalidomide markedly improves progression-free survival in frail elderly multiple myeloma patients, without increasing serious adverse events.
