Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify optimal induction therapies for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
  • Describe therapeutic options for a patient with multiple myeloma who has achieved a major response but not a complete response to induction therapy
  • Discuss the implications of achieving a complete response on novel therapy for treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

Test your ability to make optimal treatment decisions using patient histories and diagnostic information and see the case unfold according to your choices. Compare your answers with your peers and our expert faculty’s recommendations, and then review the supporting data.
