Improving Survival in MM
*Year ranges represent the year of diagnosis.
Note: By linking to the SSA Master Death File, survival was measured as time from diagnosis date to the
date of death obtained from the SSA, time from diagnosis date to the date of inpatient death, or time
from diagnosis date to September 30, 2015; Survival estimates were presented for multiple myeloma
patients diagnosed and treated during 2006-2012 (n=9,521).
What is the strategy for myeloma?

• CD38 expressed in all myeloma cases
• Cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase is a glycoprotein
• Expressed in many immune response cells and other cells
• Marker of cell activation
• Loss leads to immune loss, metabolic abnormalities and cognitive changes

Conclusions
• Plethora of options
• Sequencing and specific agents are key
• Individualized approach to patients
• Likely combinatorial strategies
• Myeloma is still an “unmet need”
• Future is bright!
