Phase 3 trial data show daratumumab reduced relapse risk by 74% in NMOSD. Separately, the FDA accepted an NDA for iberdomide plus daratumumab/dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, with a PDUFA date of August 17, 2026.
The 2026 Tandem Meetings featured new data on CAR-T, allogeneic transplantation, and supportive care. Highlights included early efficacy signals for EB-103, KITE-753, Orca-T, and NXC-201, plus comparative cardiovascular safety data for lisocabtagene maraleucel.
Interim results from the ABC phase 1/2b trial show a calcineurin inhibitor-free GVHD prevention regimen combining posttransplant cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and abatacept achieved low GVHD rates and favorable survival outcomes. The approach enables earlier introduction of posttransplant maintenance therapies while reducing toxicity associated with conventional immunosuppressants.
The multiple myeloma treatment landscape is rapidly expanding with over 75 companies developing 80+ pipeline therapies, while clinicians navigate evolving questions about transplant timing, quadruplet regimens, and minimal residual disease testing in newly diagnosed patients.
The FDA has granted fast track designation to QRX003 for Netherton Syndrome and IBI3003 for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, while also accepting regulatory applications for other therapies addressing serious conditions with unmet medical needs.
The FDA approved Tecvayli plus Darzalex Faspro for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after at least one prior therapy, and accepted a new drug application for iberdomide plus daratumumab and dexamethasone with a PDUFA date of August 17, 2026.
The FDA approved Tecvayli plus Darzalex Faspro for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in March 2026, and Darzalex Faspro-based quadruplet D-VRd for newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible patients in January 2026.
Cytokinetics launches MYQORZO for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy following FDA approval, while C4 Therapeutics doses first patient in Phase 2 trial of cemsidomide for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
