Treatment Options for Multiple Myeloma

According to the NCCN Guidelines for Patients: Multiple Myeloma (2025), here are the main treatment approaches:

Multi-Drug Therapy (First-Line Treatment)

The initial treatment typically combines 3-4 medications (called triplet or quadruplet therapy), which may include:

Targeted therapy (proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, CAR T-cell therapy)
Immunomodulators (lenalidomide, pomalidomide, thalidomide)
Monoclonal antibodies (daratumumab, elotuzumab, isatuximab)
Corticosteroids (dexamethasone)
Chemotherapy (bendamustine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, cisplatin)

Hematopoietic Cell (Stem Cell) Transplant

May be offered after multi-drug therapy, though not all patients receive one.

Radiation Therapy

Used for specific bone lesions or complications.

Surgery

For fractures, spinal compression, or other structural complications.

Clinical Trials

Participation in new treatment studies is an available option.

Supportive Care

Available alongside any treatment to manage symptoms and side effects (bone damage, infections, anemia, kidney dysfunction, blood clots).

Key Point from NCCN: "Know that there are many types of treatment available. So if one therapy doesn't work for you, you can try a different one."
