Iberdomide Combo
for Multiple Myeloma
Similar to the paradigm established in other hematologic malignancies that are considered curable, the achievement of MRD(-) status is necessary for long term disease control in MM. The fact that the majority of patients remain MRD (+) after induction therapy and AHCT points to the opportunity to deploy novel agents with complementary mechanism of action and favorable toxicity profile to reach and maintain MRD (-) status. Given its favorable toxicity profile, the convenience of oral administration, and compelling single agent activity even in heavily pretreated MM, iberdomide is likely amenable to long term therapy in patients with high-risk of relapse/progression identified by the persistence of MRD(+). The investigators intend to develop combination(s) of iberdomide with other agents with complementary mechanism of action in the consolidation setting post AHCT in order to achieve and sustain MRD (-).

DaraVRD
for Multiple Myeloma
This trial uses a high-tech test to check for tiny amounts of leftover cancer cells in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. If no cancer cells are found, doctors might delay a major treatment called stem cell transplant. This approach aims to avoid the severe side effects of the transplant if it's not needed.
