EHA 2015: Adding elotuzumab to standard treatment for multiple myeloma significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death

ELOQUENT-2, a phase 3, randomised, open-label study of lenalidomide and dexamethasone with or without elotuzumab in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, met its primary endpoints of progression-free survival and overall response rate. The two-year progression-free survival rate was 41% in the elotuzumab group versus 27% in the control group. The overall response rate in the elotuzumab group was 79% versus 66% in the control group.
