A New Anchor in RRMM: Decoding the Practice-Changing MajesTEC-3 Data for Tec-Dara

The MajesTEC-3 results for teclistamab + daratumumab (Tec-Dara)ย in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) aren’t just an incremental gainโ€”they represent a potential paradigm shift. The FDA’s concurrent award of aย priority review voucherย underscores its transformative potential. Let’s break down the data that’s changing the standard of care: ๐Ÿ”ฌ Unprecedented Efficacy in the 1-3 Prior Lines Setting: โ€ขย PFS:ย Hazard Ratio […]

Beyond the 16-Week Snapshot: Why Data Snapshots Mask the Reality of Chronic Therapy

Beyond the 16-Week Snapshot: Why Data Snapshots Mask the Reality of Chronic Therapy In my independent review of the CARES-310 trial (Camrelizumab-Rivoceranib), I analyzed a common pitfall in modern drug development: the reliance on 16-week primary endpoints to justify long-term therapeutic narratives. While a 16-week data cut can deliver a clean p-value for a regulatory […]
