The MM Hub was delighted to be present at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting held in Orlando, FL, US, from 7–10 December 2019. On Monday 9th December, an oral abstract was presented by Luciano J. Costa from the O’ Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Vestavia, AL, entitled (Abstract #860): Daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Dara-KRd) induction, autologous transplantation and post-transplant, response-adapted, measurable residual disease (MRD)-based Dara-Krd consolidation in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).1 This article is based on data presented at ASH and may supersede the data in the published abstract.
