Key Takeaways

Progression-free survival and overall survival are key endpoints in multiple myeloma trials, crucial for evaluating treatment efficacy.
Stringent eligibility criteria in clinical trials may limit their applicability to real-world scenarios, necessitating more inclusive designs.
Incorporating diverse patient populations, including those with comorbidities, can enhance the relevance of trial outcomes.
Real-world endpoints such as quality of life and treatment tolerability should be considered for a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic impact.

Panelists discuss how clinical trials in multiple myeloma can be improved to better reflect real-world scenarios and patient outcomes, emphasizing the importance of end points such as progression-free survival, overall survival, and quality of life measures, while also considering ways to increase trial inclusivity and applicability to diverse patient populations.
