Multiple Myeloma | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2019
MARKET OUTLOOK
Multiple myeloma is an incurable hematological malignancy despite the availability of several treatment options. Resistance to therapy is the primary treatment challenge associated with relapse and recurrence, especially in elderly patients. The foremost goal in the third-line treatment of multiple myeloma is extending patients’ survival. The mainstays of treatment are agents that affect the immune system, such as Celgene’s Revlimid and Pomalyst / Imnovid used in combination with the generic corticosteroid dexamethasone. The launch of the proteasome inhibitor Kyprolis (Amgen / Ono Pharmaceutical) and the emergence of novel drugs including Bristol-Myers Squibb / AbbVie’s Empliciti and Janssen’s Darzalex are impacting treatment choices in the third-line setting. However, in the absence of a uniform treatment regimen, the choice of third-line therapy for multiple myeloma patients is varied.
