Black Myeloma Health Community Chapter
event Apr 28, 2022 / 02:00PM - 03:00PM EDT

Event Description

Most myeloma patients are familiar with the drug Revlimid (lenalidomide). Not only is it used in the frontline setting, but also in relapsed refractory myeloma and as single agent maintenance for many. It is very well tolerated for most patients but not everyone is able to take it.

Join the African American Myeloma Community Chapter as they welcome Dr. Craig Emmit Cole to discuss Revlimid, its mechanism of action, side effect profile, who it might not work for, possible risk of secondary cancers, and what is in the works for a transdermal version of the drug.
