GSK blood cancer drug nearly halves risk of death in late-stage trial

In the trial of 302 patients with relapsed or difficult-to-treat multiple myeloma, 71% of those who received Blenrep in combination with the steroid dexamethasone and pomalidomide were alive without their disease worsening at the end of a year. That compared with progression-free survival (PFS) of 51% of those who were treated with pomalidomide, dexamethasone and bortezomib. Pomalidomide is a generic version of Bristol Myers Squibb's Pomalyst, while bortezomib is the generic of Takeda Pharmaceuticals' Velcade.
