Tasquinimod As a New Myeloma Therapy with Dan Vogl, MD and Yulia Nefedova, MD, PhD
Dan Vogl, MD, University of Pennsylvania
Yulia Nefedova, MD, PhD, Wistar Institute
Interview Date: January 5, 2022
When good immune cells like neutrophils and monocytes (which are usually immune system defenders) go rogue and become "pathologically activated", they can become something called myeloid-derived suppressor cells, or MDSCs. Instead of protecting us, these MDSCs help multiple myeloma grow. In this show, Dr. Vogl and Dr. Nefedova teach us what MDSCs are and how they work and how a new therapy called tasquinimod could help slow down myeloma growth. Learn more about this clinical trial using tasquinimod with ixazomib, lenalidomide and dex in combination to improve myeloma outcomes and slow myeloma growth.
