Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) is one of the most challenging hematologic malignancies that oncology practitioners will treat. Often, patients with RRMM have significant comorbidities and multiple prior treatment failures, all of which complicate both therapeutic decisions and subsequent patient management.

In this focused symposium, a panel of internationally known experts in myeloma will utilize an interactive approach to discuss new and emerging therapeutic strategies for RRMM. Following a robust analysis of evolving treatments and clinical trial data, participants will be challenged to identify the most appropriate and effective treatment for a series of case studies of complex RRMM patients. Through discussion and analysis, symposium attendees will gain a greater understanding of how to effectively address the real-world challenges of disease progression, comorbid conditions, high-risk factors, and treatment-emergent adverse events in their patients with RRMM.
