Median progression free survival (PFS) was 4.56 months (95% CI: 2.56, 8.03) and median overall survival (OS) was 28.92 months (95% CI: 5.4, NR). Duration of response (DOR) was evaluable in 28 patients and reached a median of 21.3 months (95% CI: 6.85, NR). Next, we evaluated hazard ratios (HR) for OS and PFS. There was improved OS in patients that were not-triple refractory or worse (HR = 0.39, 95%Cl (0.14; 1.10), <i>p</i> = .07) and in patients, that had less than three previous lines of treatment (LOT) (HR = 0.13, 95%Cl (0.03; 0.6) <i>p</i> = .003). Similar to OS, there was improved PFS in patients, that were not triple-refractory or worse (HR = 0.52, 95%Cl (0.25; 1.10), <i>p</i> = .08). We concluded, that the best survival benefit for RRMM patients pretreated with daratumumab to IRd regimen was observed in patients that were not triple-refractory and had less than three previous lines of treatment (LOT). The DOR in these patients was 21.3 months (95% CI: 6.85, NR).</p>","PeriodicalId":11955,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Haematology","volume":"113 6","pages":"810-816"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejh.14292","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142072373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
