New drug combo aims to keep blood cancer at bay after transplant

NCT ID NCT02420860

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug elotuzumab to standard maintenance therapy (lenalidomide) helps keep multiple myeloma from returning after a patient's own stem cell transplant. The trial involves 113 patients who have recently undergone transplant for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Researchers will measure how long patients remain cancer-free and monitor side effects of the two-drug combination.
