A new treatment is showing promise for people with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).
Mayo ClinicDec 10 2024 A new treatment is showing promise for people with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma . This precancerous condition can progress to active multiple myeloma , a type of blood cancer . High-risk SMM carries a higher likelihood of progression.
Smoldering multiple myeloma is a condition in which abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow but do not display symptoms of active multiple myeloma. High-risk SMM, however, carries a significant risk of progressing to active disease. Until now, there has been no approved treatment for this high-risk group.
These results are a major advancement in the treatment of high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. For the first time, we have a treatment option that can significantly delay or prevent the progression to active disease, improving the lives of patients and offering them a chance at a longer, healthier future."
While hypertension was the most common side effect, occurring in a small percentage of patients in both groups, no new safety concerns were identified with daratumumab.
