A historic day for myeloma!! After 5 decades of research. European Commission / EMA approves Daratumumab as the first ever approved treatment for high risk smoldering myeloma based on the results of the AQUILA trial. @thanosdimop @PlasmaCellPete globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
Very well-deserved indeed!! Congrats Drs. @mvmateos and @ElenaZamagni ! Excited for #IMS25 @Myeloma_Society 👏 #MMsm #woMMen

Excited to share a milestone published in @NatureMedicine from our decade-long effort to build The Human Phenotype Project, a unique longitudinal cohort with unmatched depth of clinical and multi-omic profiling, enabling truly predictive, personalized medicine. Led together with…

Large-scale dependency and drug screens to characterize the therapeutic vulnerabilities of multiple myeloma with 1q+ #mmsm @RomanosSP @IrenemGhobrial #mmsm ashpublications.org/blood/article/…
6/ The real prize? Actionable insight: Regulatory rewiring Therapy resistance states Cell fate trajectories that matter in disease
5/ Too many papers are stuck in descriptive mode: UMAPs and violin plots Marker genes and dot plots A sea of clusters with no anchor to biology
Very relevant and beautiful work @TimCoorens! Congratulations!
The cells in our bodies constantly acquire mutations. But what are the patterns of mutations across tissues? How do mutations in normal cells lead to disease? These and other questions we will tackle within the SMaHT Network, now described in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

FDA has granted accelerated approval to linvoseltamab-gcpt (Lynozyfic) for treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least 4 lines of prior therapy #mmsm @IMFmyeloma @theMMRF @HealthTree pharmacytimes.com/view/fda-appro…
Thanks for posting Mike for posting and Linda for writing it’s critical to take this guidance seriously and to perform these test with good quality control to ensure patients receive optimum therapy - we should now move on to a molecular based approach

Thank you Vincent! It was a huge and long (>8 years) team effort, but truly worthy. Thank you for your continued support! This is only the beginning. A lot to be done in the future, and I foresee many more years of fruitful work by the i2TEAMM #mmsm
Amazing accomplishment!! Kudos to you and Jesus San Miguel and @BrunoPaiva_UNAV for your leadership! And to the @IMFmyeloma team and I2TEAMM investigators and all our Pharma partners.
Major Regulatory Milestone in MM: In response to an application by I2TEAMM and @IMFmyeloma, the European Medicines Agency has officially endorsed MRD as an early endpoint in clinical trials for Myeloma. This marks a transformative step forward in drug development !! @VincentRK
