Description

Mohammad Ebraheem and co-authors pool the trials of four-drug regimens for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The quadruplets add an anti-CD38 antibody to a backbone of a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug. The team searched the big databases, trial registries, and meeting libraries to January 2024 for randomized trials that compared the four-drug mix with the same backbone alone.

Seven trials with 3,716 patients qualified. Against triplets, quadruplets raised the overall response rate a notch. They cut the risk of progression or death near in half. Far more patients reached minimal residual disease negativity, at both the one-in-a-hundred-thousand and one-in-a-million test levels. Overall survival improved as well. For a disease where depth of response foretells length of control, the review gives the four-drug opening a firm evidence base.
