Multiple Myeloma Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Multiple Myeloma Overview and Diagnosis

Multiple myeloma is the second most prevalent hematological malignancy worldwide, with a median onset of 60 years. This incurable malignancy develops from accumulating terminally differentiated monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Multiple myeloma is a malignant disorder characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of clonal plasma cells, causing various complications leading to organ dysfunction and eventually death. MM has a record for 10% of hematological malignancies. It grows from a premalignant condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined implication (MGUS). This is found in 3% of those over 50 and progresses to myeloma at a rate of 1% per year. Common symptoms include bone pain (particularly in the spine or ribs), fatigue due to anemia, recurrent infections, and complications such as hypercalcemia and kidney dysfunction.

Diagnosis is based on a combination of blood and urine tests to detect monoclonal proteins, bone marrow biopsy to confirm clonal plasma cells, and imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, or MRI to identify bone lesions.

Further details are provided in the report.

Current Multiple Myeloma Treatment Landscape

Treatment of multiple myeloma depends on the stage of the disease, patient eligibility for transplantation, and prior therapies. For newly diagnosed patients eligible for transplant, induction therapy with a combination of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and corticosteroids is typically followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) and maintenance therapy to prolong remission. Patients who are not eligible for transplantation generally receive combination regimens consisting of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, monoclonal antibodies, and steroids.

For patients with relapsed or refractory disease, treatment options include next-generation immunotherapies such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and CAR-T Cell Therapy, which target specific antigens on malignant plasma cells and enhance immune-mediated tumor destruction. Recent advances in genomic and molecular profiling have also improved the understanding of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, enabling more personalized treatment strategies.

Multiple Myeloma Market Outlook

The standard treatment for multiple myeloma typically involves combination regimens, historically consisting of triplet therapy (three drugs). However, more recently, quadruplet regimens incorporating an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody in addition to a PI, immunomodulatory agent, and corticosteroid are increasingly becoming the SoC for newly diagnosed patients.

At present, the treatment landscape includes a diverse range of therapeutic options, such as PIs, IMiDs, CELMoDs, histone deacetylase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, chemotherapy, corticosteroids, nuclear export inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and bispecific antibodies.

Among the IMiDs, lenalidomide historically dominated the multiple myeloma market across the seven major markets and has been widely used across multiple lines of therapy, either as monotherapy or in combination regimens. However, following the expiration of key patents and the entry of generic versions beginning in 2022, the market landscape for lenalidomide has become increasingly competitive, although it continues to remain an important backbone therapy in multiple myeloma treatment.

Monoclonal antibodies have become an important component of therapy for multiple myeloma by targeting antigens expressed on malignant plasma cells and enhancing immune-mediated tumor destruction. Currently approved antibodies mainly target CD38 and SLAMF7. Anti-CD38 antibodies include DARZALEX (daratumumab) and SARCLISA (isatuximab-irfc), while EMPLICITI (elotuzumab) targets the SLAMF7 receptor. The introduction of these therapies has significantly expanded treatment options across both newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory disease settings.

Despite recent therapeutic advances in multiple myeloma, several unmet needs remain in the management of the disease. These include challenges such as treatment resistance, frequent disease relapse, and the limited durability of response in some patients receiving currently available therapies. Additionally, there is a need for further prospective studies to determine optimal treatment sequencing and combination strategies, particularly for patients with advanced or relapsed disease. Continued research and the development of novel therapies are expected to improve long-term disease control and enhance patient outcomes in multiple myeloma.

• In 2025, the total market size of multiple myeloma in first-line transplant eligible therapies was USD 2,945 million in the US. The highest revenue was captured by DVTd accounting for USD 1,295 million in 2025.
• CARVYKTI's launch remains the strongest CAR-T launch to date. About 60-70% of CARVYKTI utilization was occurring in earlier line settings.
• In frontline multiple myeloma clinical studies, DARZALEX was successful and is now considered standard of therapy. DARZALEX has outperformed rivals' expectations in terms of effectiveness and safety, and expected rule the multiple myeloma market.
