About Us

The ECHO Program

The ECHO program is an online tool that aims to provide both clinicians and patients with up-to-date information on the presentation, prognosis, pathophysiology, and treatment strategies in development for patients with multiple myeloma. As therapy in multiple myeloma is constantly changing, this activity focuses on the bispecific antibodies, which have shown promising results in the management of multiple myeloma, especially in the relapsed/refractory setting.

Thank you for visiting our website. We invite you to explore the Clinician Toolkit and Patient Toolkit links as well as our pages on CME events, a poster portal to create your own poster, links to animated videos, and much more!

Community Oncology Connection

The Community Oncology Connection program is a virtual live series that aims to bridge the gap between clinicians in the academic and regional settings through educational programming. The series integrates clinical trial data and strategies in managing relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with practical tools to assist clinicians to better treat their patients.

Note: This CME program was recorded prior to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 meeting in June 2023. Highlights of data released at ASCO include:

Teclistamab

Longer-term data of the Phase 1/2 MajesTEC-1 study showed a high rate of deep and durable response in triple-class exposed MM patients. At 22 median follow up; complete response or better = 43%; duration of response = 24 months (27 months for ≥CR); median PFS = 12.5 months (20 months for ≥CR); median OS = 21.9 months (not reached for ≥CR).

Adverse event profile for all patients (and grade 3/4) included: infections = 78% (52%); CRS = 72% (0.6%); neutropenia = 72% (65%); anemia = 54% (38%); thrombocytopenia = 42% (22%); and lymphopenia = 35% (33%). ICANS occurred in 3% of patients, all grade 1 or 2.

Linvoseltamab (investigational)

Two Phase 2 full dose cohorts (50 mg and 200 mg) in the LINKER-MM1 trial were studied to optimize dose selection. Linvoseltamab 200 mg showed better efficacy compared with 50 mg, including in patients with high disease burden. The 200 mg dose had consistent efficacy across high-risk subgroups and induced responses in pts who progressed on 50 mg. The recommended dose for further study is now 200mg.

ORR for 200 mg dose = 71%; CR = 30%; very good partial response = 59%. Median duration of response = not reached. The probability of maintaining response at 6 months was 84% and 79% at 12 months. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 95% of patients (grade 3 or higher = 79%): CRS = 45% (1%); neutropenia = 33%; fatigue = 33%; anemia = 27% (24%). ICANS ≥grade 3 = 2%.

Elranatamab (investigational)

Pooled data from the MagnetismMM studies were presented. In pts with RRMM and prior exposure to BCMA-directed therapies, elranatamab was efficacious and well tolerated; no new safety signals were observed vs the BCMA-naïve population. ORR = 45.3% (prior anti-BCMA therapy = 41%-53%); median time to OR = 1.9 months; complete response or better = 17.4%; duration of response at 9 months = 72% (prior anti-BCMA therapy = 67.3%-78%); median PFS = 4.8 months; median OS 10-month endpoint not reached, but = 60.1% at 9 months.

Treatment-emergent adverse events in all patients (and grade 3 or higher) included: CRS = 65% (1%); anemia = 59% (47%); neutropenia = 44% (41%); thrombocytopenia = 41% (29%); diarrhea = 34% (0%); lymphopenia = 33% (30%); and ICANS = 6% (2%).
