In today's episode, we welcomed Douglas W. Sborov, MD, MS, to discuss the significance of the July 2026 FDA approval of isatuximab-irfc (Sarclisa Escena) for subcutaneous injection for multiple myeloma indications. Dr Sborov is a tenured professor of medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Hematologic Malignancies and an adjunct associate professor in the Departments of Molecular Pharmaceutics and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) in Salt Lake City, as well as director of the HCI Hematology Disease Center and Plasma Cell Dyscrasias (PCD) Program, co-leader of the Hematologic Malignancies Clinical Trials Research Group, and member of the HCI Experimental Therapeutics Program and International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG).As part of the July 10, 2026, approval, subcutaneous isatuximab is indicated for use: in combination with pomalidomide (Pomalyst) and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy, including lenalidomide (Revlimid) and a proteasome inhibitor in combination with carfilzomib (Kyprolis) and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy in combination with bortezomib (Velcade), lenalidomide, and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for an autologous stem cell transplant In our exclusive interview, Dr Sborov outlined how the subcutaneous formulation of isatuximab and the ability to administer the agent via an on-body delivery system could affect patient quality of life. He also detailed key findings from the phase 3 IRAKLIA trial (NCT05405166) that supported the approval and explained how the use of isatuximab may shift in clinical practice following the subcutaneous approval.

In the newest edition of Oncology On the Go, Joshua Richter, MD, and Marco Davila, MD, PhD, spoke about the current multiple myeloma treatment landscape and highlighted practical considerations for administering CAR T-cell therapy to patients. Their discussion touched upon several critical subtopics ranging from optimizing operational and referral workflows to dismantling barriers to treatment access in rural settings.When it comes to navigating the multiple myeloma treatment algorithm, both hosts emphasized early evaluation to determine patient suitability for CAR T-cell therapy, which may help identify those who are most likely to experience the greatest responses with minimal toxicity. Regarding the question of sequencing different modalities, Richter pointed to data demonstrating the utility of administering CAR T-cell therapies prior to bispecific antibodies.Acknowledging that the average patient enrolled on a clinical trial may not align with what is typically seen in real-world practice, the hosts discussed “reassuring” data that those who do not meet certain eligibility criteria may nevertheless benefit from CAR T-cell therapy. Additionally, on the topic of maintaining an effective referral relationship between community oncologists and CAR-T centers, Davila noted that academic cell therapy clinicians may have an incumbent responsibility to consider how to improve access to treatment and make it easier for others to refer patients to care.“CAR T-cell therapy is now deeply entrenched in the world of relapsed multiple myeloma [and] soon to be likely entrenched in the newly diagnosed world. These are therapies that I think we're all going to need to embrace whether it's from an academic standpoint or a community standpoint,” Richter concluded. “Having that ongoing communication back and forth, especially as the field is moving so quickly, is absolutely key in providing optimal care for our patients.”Richter is an associate professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at The Tisch Cancer Institute, as well as the director of Multiple Myeloma at the Blavatnik Family - Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai. Davila is the senior vice president and associate director for Translational Research, a professor of Oncology, chief of Lymphoma/Multiple Myeloma Service, and Rustum Family Endowed Chair in Translational Research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

It wasn't easy, but Thomas Goode managed to survive Stage III multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer that originates in bone marrow.  When he first experienced pain in his left shoulder, it was misdiagnosed as bursitis.  Then he underwent a stem cell transplant no less than three times, with his oldest brother donating the bone marrow for the final two procedures.  Thomas has achieved Minimal Residual Disease status and says his physical health is roughly 70 percent of what it was, pre-diagnosis.   In 2005, Thomas Goode was leading an active lifestyle.  It included bicycle riding and working out.  But when he was on vacation with his family, he went to the gym and suddenly experienced acute pain in his left shoulder.  He went to his family doctor who said Thomas had bursitis and prescribed pain pills.  Thomas was skeptical of this diagnosis because it came because no scans were performed.   He sought a second opinion and went to his orthopedic surgeon.  The doctor called for an MRI and it revealed a tumor near his shoulder and said it was the source of Thomas' pain.  He had the tumor biopsied and it showed a plasmacytoma, cancer that progress to become multiple myeloma.  Thomas underwent six weeks of radiation treatment.  The pain went away, but it returned.    Thomas' multiple myeloma specialist suggested a stem cell transplant, an option Thomas accepted.  It began with induction therapy, backed by doxil, vincristine and dexamethasone, aimed at bringing his white blood cell down to a number that would allow for a stem cell transplant.  However, the procedure didn't work.  The specialist recommended a second stem cell transplant.  Thomas learned his oldest brother was a perfect for a bone marrow transplant.    The second stem cell transplant included compath, fludarabine and melphalan.  It also didn't work, so a third one was performed with velcade, doxil and vorinostat.   Thomas followed this with eight days of radiation.   His care team proclaimed Thomas is Minimal Residual Disease-negative.    Thomas Goode says his health is about 70 percent of what it was before his diagnosis.  He can still work out but acknowledges he will always have some level of back pain.   By way of advice, he would tell anyone diagnosed with multiple myeloma that the disease is not a death sentence.  He says that's because there are more treatment options and better treatment options than when he was diagnosed.

Dr. Rahul Banerjee joins the podcast to discuss the latest update to the living guideline on the treatment of multiple myeloma. He explains how sensational results from the MajesTEC-3 trial, which evaluated teclistamab plus daratumumab, prompted a major shift in the recommendations for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. Dr. Banerjee details why immunotherapies, specifically CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, are now the preferred treatment options at first relapse over traditional triplets. He also provides context on evidence that did not lead to recommendation changes, the importance of individualized decision-making when choosing between immunotherapy options, and what future updates may be on the horizon, including data on CELMoDs.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer in the United States and has long been considered a difficult disease to treat. For decades, treatment options were limited, and survival remained poor. However, the therapeutic landscape has changed dramatically over the past several decades with the introduction of stem cell transplantation, targeted drugs, immunotherapies, and more recently, CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies. A research paper titled “Targeted therapeutics and U.S. population-level mortality trends in multiple myeloma: A SEER-based analysis from 1975 to 2023” was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget. In this study, the researchers examined how these major treatment advances have coincided with changes in multiple myeloma mortality across the United States over nearly five decades. The study was led by first and corresponding author Navkirat Kahlon from the Mass General Cancer Center at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of remarkable updates that highlight the dynamic evolution of drug development, regulatory landscapes, and industry strategies. Takeda has made waves with its TYK2 inhibitor, Zasocitinib, which recently outperformed Bristol Myers Squibb's Sotyktu in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for plaque psoriasis. This trial is particularly noteworthy as it involves TYK2 inhibitors, a class of drugs targeting tyrosine kinase 2 to modulate immune responses. The success of Zasocitinib not only strengthens Takeda's competitive position but also underscores the potential of these inhibitors in treating autoimmune conditions like psoriasis. As we look forward to its market launch next year, this development represents a significant stride in the realm of targeted therapies aimed at complex diseases. Shifting gears to regulatory advancements, Johnson & Johnson's Darzalex (daratumumab) has received endorsement from NICE for its quadruplet therapy in newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma cases. This approval is based on favorable Phase 3 trial results and highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting CD38 on myeloma cells. This marks a crucial step in offering potent treatment options to patients who cannot undergo transplants, emphasizing the growing importance of combination therapies in oncology. In another significant development, Johnson & Johnson is expanding its rare disease portfolio with promising Phase 2/3 trial data for Imaavy. Poised to become the first approved treatment for warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, this advancement highlights the industry's pivot towards addressing rare diseases with limited treatment options. In India, AstraZeneca has secured CDSCO approval for Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) combined with pertuzumab as a first-line treatment for HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. This approval signifies a milestone in HER2-targeted therapies, spotlighting the pivotal role of antibody-drug conjugates that deliver cytotoxic agents directly to cancer cells, enhancing efficacy while minimizing systemic exposure. Moving on to business developments, Servier's partnership with N-Lorem Foundation to develop antisense oligonucleotide therapies for rare neurological disorders reflects the industry's increasing focus on precision medicine. This collaboration underscores the burgeoning interest in nucleic acid-based therapies aimed at addressing genetic disorders lacking effective treatments. On the financial front, Kardigan's planned $320 million IPO signals robust confidence in advancing cardiovascular pipeline assets. This move highlights Kardigan's commitment to tackling substantial unmet needs in cardiovascular diseases—an area still rife with challenges despite existing therapies. From a regulatory perspective, China's update of its Good Clinical Practice guidelines aims to streamline clinical trial processes, fostering biotech innovation. This change is expected to enhance drug development efficiency and attract global biotech investments to China's rapidly growing pharmaceutical market. Meanwhile, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has raised concerns about Germany's healthcare reform plans, warning that they might deter future investments. His comments underscore the delicate balance between cost containment policies and maintaining an environment conducive to pharmaceutical innovation. Additionally, Novo Nordisk's CEO Mike Doustdar expressed optimism about the company's strategic focus on market positioning through innovation and efficiency improvements. This aligns with broader industry trends where large pharma companies strive to maintain leadership roles amid fierce competition. Eli Lilly's sponsorship of short films premiered at Tribeca Festival illustrates an industry-wide trend toward patient-centric approaches and authentic portrayals of people with diseases onscreen. Such efforts aim to enhance communication strategies that resonate with diverse audiences. Furthermore, transformative technologies like cell and gene therapies are gradually moving towards mainstream clinical adoption. This transition necessitates zero-tolerance logistics to ensure these complex therapies reach patients safely and effectively—a paradigm shift offering potential cures but also posing logistical challenges. Finally, industry events such as ASCO continue to spotlight cutting-edge research developments in oncology. Such conferences are pivotal in advancing treatment paradigms and fostering collaborations that drive innovation across the sector. These updates reflect a period marked by groundbreaking scientific advances and strategic initiatives poised to reshape patient care and global healthcare solutions. As companies navigate these complexities while addressing regulatory and economic challenges, maintaining a focus on innovation will be key in charting future growth trajectories within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors.Support the show

In today's episode, we welcomed Joshua Richter, MD, to preview some of the top multiple myeloma presentations anticipated at the 2026 EHA Congress. Richter is an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Tisch Cancer Institute and director of Multiple Myeloma at the Blavatnik Family-Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai in New York, New York.In the exclusive interview, Dr Ricther highlighted some of the key abstracts he's looking forward to seeing presented at EHA 2026, including primary data from an additional study of a bispecific antibody­–based combination being evaluated in the early-relapse setting and longer-term analyses from pivotal phase 3 studies. Richter also shared the key themes and trends he expects to see during the meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

In this episode, Raj, Ashwin, and Eddie sit down with Dr. Vincent Rajkumar — Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic and Chair of the ECOG Myeloma Committee — for a clinically focused conversation on newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Topics span baseline workup, risk stratification, induction selection, transplant timing, MRD-directed decision-making, and maintenance strategy. The episode closes with a discussion of Open Medicine, a new medical education platform, and Dr. Rajkumar's ongoing advocacy on drug pricing reform.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDBaseline workup: 24-hour urine protein: It is important to obtain 24-hour urine protein with electrophoresis and immunofixation in all newly diagnosed patients — not for diagnosis, but to establish a baseline for long-term management and to distinguish M-protein from albuminuria. In patients where an FLC ratio ≥100 is the sole myeloma-defining criterion, a 24-hour urine Bence Jones protein ≥200 mg is part of the diagnostic threshold for treatment initiation. Myeloma cast nephropathy: when to biopsy: An involved FLC ≥50 mg/dL supports a presumptive diagnosis of cast nephropathy and treatment can begin without a kidney biopsy. Below this threshold — particularly if renal involvement is the sole myeloma-defining event — kidney biopsy is warranted to exclude light chain deposition disease, MPGN, or other unrelated disorders. It warrants aggressive early treatment (Dara-VCD or Dara-VD), starting even before bone marrow results are available when the diagnosis is clinically clear.Solitary plasmacytoma [with or without minimal bone marrow involvement]: Patients with ~10% clonal plasma cells technically meet criteria for myeloma, but management in this borderline zone warrants shared decision-making. Solitary plasmacytoma as sitting between smoldering myeloma and overt myeloma on the disease spectrum. Risk stratification: revised IMWG criteria: The new revision aimed to keep the high-risk designation to ≤15–20% of patients. Del 17p alone confers high-risk status. TP53 mutation without del 17p is exceedingly rare and FISH alone captures the vast majority of cases. All other cytogenetic abnormalities (t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q gain, 1p deletion, biallelic 1p) require at least one co-occurring abnormality to define high risk. Elevated β2-microglobulin with normal renal function is retained as a proxy for high tumor burden. Emergent indications for treatment initiation: The three situations warranting urgent treatment are acute cast nephropathy (days matter for renal recovery), cord compression (surgery vs. radiation vs. systemic therapy determined by acuity), and hypercalcemia. Induction regimen selection: For fit, transplant-eligible patients, the preferred induction is a quadruplet — Dara-VRd or Isa-VRd — with dose adjustment as needed. Triplets (Dara-Rd or Isa-Rd) are reserved for those unable to tolerate a quadruplet even with dose reduction. Carfilzomib-based induction is not favored: head-to-head data show no benefit of KRd over VRd in NDMM, and the cost differential is substantial. Lenalidomide dosing: Starting dose should be individualized: 15 mg for patients over 75, those with small body habitus (

In this deeply emotional Mother's Day episode, Suzanne B. O'Brien RN shares one of the most sacred callings many of us will ever experience: walking our mothers home at the end of life. As daughters, mothers, caregivers, nurses, and women in community, we are so often the ones called forward to care for those we love through aging, illness, and the final transition. Yet most families today are trying to navigate end-of-life care without the knowledge, preparation, or support that once was naturally handed down from grandmother to grandchild. And the result is heartbreaking. Families are overwhelmed. Terrified. Exhausted. Grieving while caregiving. Trying to do the most important work of their lives without the skills or understanding to feel grounded and empowered. In this episode, Suzanne speaks openly about: The truth behind the current hospice model Why families provide 98% of the hands-on care, even with hospice involved How hospice shifted after becoming a Medicare benefit Why most people enter hospice very late, often already in crisis The devastating impact fear of death has on quality of life, caregiving, grief, and bereavement Why presence and time are the greatest medicines we have at the end of life The sacred role of “mothering our mothers” as they age and transition across the veil How learning end-of-life skills transforms fear into peace, empowerment, grounded presence, and love Suzanne also shares a heartfelt call for women everywhere to rise into a new era of compassionate caregiving and conscious community support — bringing back the sacred human wisdom that once guided families through life, death, grief, and love. Because this moment is asking us to remember: Community takes care of community. And when we learn how to show up for one another with presence, compassion, and practical skills, everything changes. This is the heart of Doulagivers Institute: To return end-of-life education and caregiving skills back to the hands and hearts of families. The free Doulagivers Level 1 End-of-Life Doula Family Caregiver Training is now available globally in 15 languages and has helped transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. This free 90-minute live training includes: A downloadable workbook Practical end-of-life caregiving education Understanding the three phases of end of life Emotional, spiritual, and physical comfort measures Guidance for families and caregivers A new way of approaching life and death with peace instead of fear And the impact has been profound. What Participants Are Saying “My sweet sister passed away last night after fighting Multiple Myeloma for almost five years. Because of your EOLD training I was able to be fully present with no fear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” — Cathy S. “I am a retired nurse with an extensive background in oncology, critical and palliative care. That was the BEST 90 minutes of clear comprehensive education on end-of-life care I have ever heard. Excellent!” — Jan S. “The Doulagivers Level 1 Training was life changing for me! Had the BEST night of sleep in over 30 years!” — Ruth Moss “I was drawn to the Doulagivers Level 1 Training in search of help with grief. I had tried grief counseling, therapists, and workshops, but nothing helped. This training changed everything for me. I can now see how deeply connected end-of-life education is to healing grief and loss.

BUFFALO, NY – April 29, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on April 28, 2026, titled “Targeted therapeutics and U.S. population-level mortality trends in multiple myeloma: A SEER-based analysis from 1975 to 2023.” The study was led by first and corresponding author Navkirat Kahlon from the Mass General Cancer Center at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, in collaboration with researchers from multiple U.S. institutions. In this study, the researchers examined how mortality trends in multiple myeloma have changed in the United States over nearly five decades, using population-level data from the SEER database. Multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells, has historically been associated with poor survival outcomes, but treatment options have evolved dramatically over time. The analysis revealed a clear shift in mortality trends that closely parallels major therapeutic advances. Between 1975 and the mid-1990s, mortality rates steadily increased, reflecting the limited effectiveness of early treatments such as alkylating agents and corticosteroids. A turning point emerged in the 1990s with the introduction of autologous stem cell transplantation, which marked the first meaningful improvement in survival outcomes. Over the following years, the development of targeted therapies—including immunomodulatory drugs and proteasome inhibitors—was associated with a more pronounced decline in mortality. These treatments introduced new mechanisms of action, such as immune modulation and enhanced cancer cell apoptosis, significantly improving disease control. More recent years have seen further progress with the introduction of monoclonal antibodies, maintenance therapies, and combination treatment strategies. Notably, the steepest decline in mortality occurred between 2021 and 2023, coinciding with the clinical adoption of advanced immunotherapies such as CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies. These treatments have shown the ability to induce deep and durable responses, even in heavily pretreated patients. “Our findings highlight the real-world impact of targeted therapies on population-level outcomes and underscore the urgent need for care models that ensure accessibility, affordability, and long-term sustainability in the era of precision oncology.” Importantly, while these therapeutic advances have improved survival, they have also introduced new challenges. Many patients now require long-term treatment, which can be associated with cumulative toxicities and a significant financial burden. In addition, access to these therapies remains uneven, influenced by geographic, socioeconomic, and healthcare system factors. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive, real-world view of how advances in cancer treatment have translated into measurable improvements in survival at the population level. At the same time, it highlights the need to ensure that these benefits are both sustainable and accessible to all patients as the field continues to evolve.
