VIDEO: Top-line results from Tourmaline in multiple myeloma, plus ongoing trials and treatment selection

ORLANDO – The combination of the oral proteasome inhibitor ixazomib (Ninlaro, recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration) with lenalidomide and dexamethasone was associated with a 35% improvement in progression free survival in the Tourmaline trial.

In a video interview, Tourmaline investigator Dr. Shaji Kumar, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., discussed the top-line study results, the status of ongoing trials with ixazomib in other combination regimens, and the decision rationales that will need to be considered in selecting one of the newly approved multiple myeloma therapies.

Dr. Kumar has received funding from Takeda, the makers of ixazomib; he has also received funding from Celgene, Onyx, Janssen, and Sanofi.
