Blenrep approved by FDA for use in treatment of R/R multiple myeloma
Tony Wood, Chief Scientific Officer, GSK, said: “Today’s FDA approval of Blenrep is another significant milestone, providing potential for superior efficacy, including overall survival, to US patients. There is an urgent need for new and novel therapies, as nearly all patients with multiple myeloma experience relapse and re-treating with the same mechanism of action often leads to suboptimal outcomes. As the only anti-BCMA agent that can be administered across healthcare settings, including in community centres where 70% of patients receive care, Blenrep fulfils a major patient need. We believe Blenrep can redefine treatment for patients with multiple myeloma in all parts of the world, and we are accelerating its development in earlier lines of therapy to support its use across all stages of this difficult-to-treat cancer.”
