Panelists discuss how patient-specific factors like age, comorbidities, cytogenetic risk status, and personal preferences guide decisions to deviate from standard protocols, with particular attention to frailty scores and organ function when considering treatment intensity.

Panelists discuss how the TRIMM-2 study explores the potential of combining bispecific antibodies to enhance treatment efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, potentially offering a novel therapeutic strategy for this difficult-to-treat condition.

Panelists discuss how Talquetamab, a novel GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody, shows promising results in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma based on the MonumenTAL-1 trial data, potentially offering a new therapeutic option for this challenging patient population.

Panelists discuss how VRd (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone) remains the standard frontline regimen for transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients, though some now consider adding daratumumab (dara-VRd) in high-risk cases.
