Key Takeaways

New therapies must show significant clinical improvements, such as enhanced efficacy or reduced side effects, over current standards to be considered for adoption.
Cost-effectiveness, ease of administration, and alignment with existing protocols are crucial non-clinical factors influencing treatment adoption decisions.
The impact on healthcare resources, infrastructure, and acceptance by patients and providers are critical considerations in evaluating new therapies.

Panelists discuss how a new therapy for multiple myeloma would need to demonstrate significant improvements in efficacy, safety, or quality of life over current standards of care to warrant adoption while also considering factors such as cost-effectiveness, patient preferences, and ease of administration in their decision-making process for evaluating treatment changes.
