Blood Cancer Talks

In this episode, we dive into updates in Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma, along with the FDA ODAC meeting in April 2024 to decide on MRD as a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval. Our guests are Dr. Benjamin Derman and Dr. Manni Mohyuddin. Here are the key papers we discussed:
