Event Description

Ravi Vij, MD
Washington University
Interview Date: February 6, 2019

A new CD38 targeted monoclonal antibody is coming soon to the myeloma clinic. A new drug called isatuximab is making its way through the FDA approval process. Learn how it will be used in combinations, how it could be used in smoldering myeloma, how it is administered and why quad therapies might be a great place to use this drug. Dr. Ravi Vij of Washington University was a Principal Investigator on several of the isatuximab trials and shares more about this new drug. He shares more about MRD testing in myeloma and past successes of drugs in this class. Having more options is always a good thing for multiple myeloma patients and we're happy to see more therapies represent greater progress in the field of myeloma.
