⭐Multiple Myeloma Hub spotlight: Latest data from the phase III CEPHEUS trial⭐

The latest data from the phase III CEPHEUS trial (NCT03652064) were published in Nature Medicine by Saad Usmani et al., highlighting the benefit of the addition of daratumumab (D) to the standard-of-care bortezomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone (VRd) regimen for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, where transplant is not intended as an initial therapy.

The primary endpoint was measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity at a sensitivity of ×10-5, which was significantly higher with D-VRd vs VRd. The quadruplet regimen also improved outcomes vs VRd across key secondary endpoints including sustained MRD negativity, complete response, and progression-free survival.
