Abstract

We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy outcomes of different pomalidomide (Pom) regimens in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Three-drug Pom regimens yielded double the response rates compared to Pom + low-dose dexamethasone (LoDex), and notably better outcomes than bortezomib + Pom + LoDex and carfilzomib + Pom + LoDex. Ongoing trials of Pom with various monoclonal antibodies will provide further insight into the role of pomalidomide for RRMM.
