Genmab — December 2016

Minimal residual disease (MRD) testing has become a standard assessment with the revised International Myeloma Working Group response criteria and was necessitated by the increasing efficacy of new therapies. These two trials are the first to evaluate MRD in the setting of relapsed disease. In the two studies, a high rate of MRD negativity has been observed, which has translated to longer PFS. The results are a testament to the efficacy of the drug in myeloma.

It is amazing to see that we can get MRD negativity in the relapsed space. Both of these combinations were approved in November.

“Daratumumab led to rapid and durable achievement of MRD negativity,” Avet-Loiseau said. “Patients continue to achieve MRD negativity over time. The high rate of MRD negativity may lead to long-term clinical benefit. The magnitude of daratumumab-induced MRD negativity in the relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma setting is unprecedented.” – by Rob Volansky

“MRD negativity was consistently higher in patients treated in daratumumab,” Avet-Loiseau said, adding that patients treated with the drug reached MRD negativity as soon as 3 months. “We still see patients achieving MRD negativity.”
High-risk patients also achieved MRD negative status in both studies, according to Avet-Loiseau. Eighteen percent of high-risk patients in the POLLUX study and 14% of those in CASTOR achieved MRD negativity.
“The most important factor in achieving PFS is MRD negati

Winkel lovede os flotte data på MRD negativitet på ASH. Det har vi så sandelig fået nu.

Det må man sige.

Minimal tilbageværende sygdom.

Altså at patienten testes negativt for det.

Det ligner et kæmpe nej i Italien, det kan godt give kraftige døninger i morgen! Desværre!
