Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects the plasma cells located in the bone marrow of the body. During an infection, when B cells or B lymphocytes mature, they become plasma cells, which, in turn, are responsible for the production of antibodies or immunoglobulins. Therefore, multiple myeloma is a condition when these...

Treatment with Aplidin (plitidepsin) in combination with dexamethasone was approved in Australia for multiple myeloma patients who have failed or are resistant to other therapies. The decision by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) means that myeloma patients in Australia will be the first to have access to this medication. Specifically, Aplidin was approved for patients who relapsed after three lines of...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has improved health outcomes at a more cost-effective rate than other cancer treatments, according to a study presented at ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition. Data suggest that price increases of pharmaceutical oncology treatments have outpaced survival improvements. However, these study findings reveal that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy represents...
