Ixazomib-based frontline therapy followed by ixazomib maintenance in frail elderly newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma: a prospective multicenter study

Frail elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) have inferior survival and less benefit from high-dose therapies. This prospective study aimed to investigate the efficacy, safety, and quality of life (QoL) of induction treatment of ixazomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (IRd) and ixazomib/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin/dexamethasone (IDd) followed by ixazomib/dexamethasone (Id) maintenance therapy in frail, elderly patients with NDMM.
