With tens of thousands of Americans anticipated to be diagnosed with multiple myeloma each year, it is essential for clinicians to remain informed about emerging clinical trial opportunities and the resulting data that may inform therapeutic strategies, affect clinical guidelines, expand treatment options, and ultimately improve patient quality of life.
Today, we have a selection of ongoing Phase 3 trials on multiple myeloma, currently recruiting in the United States. Patient eligibility varies by trial, with some trials seeking newly diagnosed patients, others seeking patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma, and others seeking patients who have received varying levels of treatment.
