A pilot project reveals that 84% of participants had a positive experience using a newly developed online tool created by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology called the Participant Engagement Portal. Alliance created PEP to foster direct connection between cancer researchers and the individuals who volunteer for clinical studies. The goal was to make it easier for patients and clinicians to share information, deliver trial updates, and self-report on social risk factors.
Two drug combinations, Tecvayli (teclistamab-cqyv) + Talvey (talquetamab-tgvs), a BCMA and GPRC5D dual antigen targeting regimen, and Talvey + pomalidomide (Pomalyst, sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb), demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival compared with investigator’s choice standard of care for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received 1 to 4 prior lines of therapy, including an anti-CD38 antibody and lenalidomide.
