"Dr. Chari On Challenges In Sequencing Agents For Multiple Myeloma" - Ajai Chari, MD
Ajai Chari, MD, associate professor of medicine, hematology, medical oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, director of clinical research in the multiple myeloma program and associate director of clinical research at the Mount Sinai Cancer Clinical Trials Office, discusses challenges in sequencing agents for patients with multiple myeloma. According to Dr. Chari, the use of daratumumab (Darzalex) induction therapy and ixazomib (Ninlaro) in the maintenance setting are making patients refractory to a different drug class. Many researchers are investigating how quickly chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can be given to patients based on the risk value, explains Dr. Chari.
