DetailsResults from a Phase II study, recently published in Leukaemia, show that the oral combination of ixazomib (Ninlaro®), pomalidomide (Imnovid®) and dexamethasone is effective in relapsed and refractory myeloma patients. All patients in this study were refractory to lenalidomide (Revlimid®). 48% of patients who received the recommended dose of ixazomib (4mg) achieved a partial response or…
DetailsPublished in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, results from the Phase II trial, MM-013 show that pomalidomide (Imnovid®) in combination with low-dose dexamethasone is effective in relapsed and refractory patients with renal impairment.
