    Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease that has a significant negative impact on patients' health-related quality of life
    (HRQoL) .


    Patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) often receive multiple regimens, including immunomodulatory drugs and proteasome inhibitors (PIs)


    Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease that has a significant negative impact on patients' health-related quality of life


    Daratumumab, an anti-cd38 monoclonal antibody with a mechanism of action that directly targets tumors and immunomodulation, is approved by the U.


    In the phase 3 APOLLO (NCT03180736) trial, subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab in combination with pomalidomide dexamethasone (D-Pd) was significantly more effective in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

    The median duration of treatment was 11.
    5 months for D-Pd and 6.
    6 months for Pd
    .


    PRO adherence rates were high and similar in both groups


    The median duration of treatment was 11.
    5 months for D-Pd and 6.


    Overall, these results suggest that patients' health-related quality of life remained stable when daratumumab was added to Pd (pomalidomide and dexamethasone), with some results in favor of D-Pd versus dexamethasone.
