My top 8 myeloma/amyloidosis #ASH25 abstracts @ASH_hematology #mmsm 🧵 1⃣CARTITUDE-4 longer follow up ~ 3yrs : (Abstract #297774 - @End_myeloma ) ➡️ In ITT population, pts with standard-risk cytogenetics had a 2.5 years PFS rate of 71% in the cilta-cel arm vs 43% in control

INCREDIBLE #ASH25 LBA by @mvmateos @End_myeloma et al. bsAbs stealing the show across #MMsm LoT! As we all admire MajesTEC-3 PFS HR, I'll add the key reason IMO this was possible: Q4W tec dosing & primary IVIG PPx. Fewer Gr3+ infxns ➡️ stay on bsAb/CD38 longer ➡️ victory 👏 https://t.co/9VGnKpamsu https://t.co/gQFFCenz5M

What an honor to be part of the MM community as these changes happen. It is "not the end of the beginning, but the beginning of the end for myeloma." Rarely do you see such HR in MM. Congratulations to all investigators, J&J, @End_myeloma and @mvmateos for this study. #ASH25RF https://t.co/IPRVplUwgD

Looking forward to seeing the data on teclistamab and daratumumab in MajesTEC-3 presented at #ASH25 by @mvmateos @End_myeloma . The study population of 1-3 prior lines, prior PI and IMiD, and control arm of dara pom dex or dara Vel dex is similar to CARTITUDE-4 with cilta-cel

Luciano J Costa on SUCCESSOR-2

Why SUCCESSOR-2 is a valid, practice-informing trial and should support approval of Mezigdomide in combination with Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone. I hear some grievance about Kd as control, would argue they are ill informed. 1/x #mmsm

Cartitude 4, Tec-3, Tec-9, Tal-3, Tal-6, successor-2, MagnetisMM-5, MagnetisMM-32 are all valid practice-informing trial. Their controls were appropriate given the evidence at time of design and accrual. But they set a new benchmark against which future Rx must be compared.

Luciano J Costa on EXCALIBER-RRMM

until we have a publication, the most we can learn about Iberdomide and Excaliber-RRMM is from the label. Not ideal, but better than press release😊 @rajshekharucms https://t.co/3Ndf0eaVxq
