What is the impact of dexamethasone dose strength on outcomes in NDMM?
Banerjee discusses the toxicity profile of dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma treated with a standard dose of ~40 mg weekly. He then explores the impact of reducing dexamethasone dose strength on incidence and patient outcomes, highlighting both the frequency of adverse events and differences in efficacy outcomes. He concludes by explaining the implications of this data on future dexamethasone use and how to determine the optimal initial dose strength.
