Dr. Lenvai of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center will join us to help answer questions like: What are clinical trials? How do you find one that is right for you? How do you join a trial? What are the costs if any? Does insurance cover clinical trials? When and why should you leave a trial? What are the benefits of being in a clinical trial? Join us for this Myeloma 101 session on clinical trials. Dr. Lenvai will also share more about the new myeloma drug, Selinexor. Selinexor is now being used in heavily pre-treated myeloma patients and is showing benefit.
Nikoletta Lendvai, MD, PhD is a multiple myeloma specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Lendvai specializes on using immunotherapy to improve outcomes for myeloma patients. She is currently investigating cancer-tesis antigens with colleagues at NYU, Fox Chase Cancer Center and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. These antigens are proteins found on developing testis and placenta: sites that are protected from attack by the immune system.
