In one year since this thread, we have 3 more new drugs approved for myeloma: teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab. Amazing progress.
My slides and key takeaways from 2 days of intense discussion at the FDA/IMS meeting on drug development in myeloma. Applies to other cancers as well. #MedTwitter @FDAOncology @Myeloma_Society 1) 15 new drugs approved for myeloma in the last 20 years! Incredible.
