Multiple label expansions of premium-priced agents and the launch of four novel therapies will fuel the significant growth of the multiple myeloma market over the ten-year forecast period. The generic erosion expected for lenalidomide, the patient share and sales leader of 2015 in the multiple myeloma space, as well as the generic erosion of bortezomib, pomalidomide and thalidomide will temper the overall growth of this market.
