First, Prof San Miguel discusses the lenalidomide and pembrolizumab KEYNOTE-023 trial (NCT02036502). The treatment was well tolerated and the response rate was 76% for the overall population and 50% for the double refractory population. Then, he discusses the trial of pembrolizumab plus pomalidomide (NCT02289222); the response rate was 60% for the overall population and 50% for the double refractory population.
