In March 2021, the USFDA approved Abecma for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after four or more prior lines of therapy, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. This is the first FDA-approved cell-based gene therapy for multiple myeloma.

Pepaxto (melflufen/ melphalan flufenamide): Oncopeptides AB

Pepaxto is a first-in-class anti-cancer peptide-drug conjugate that rapidly produces an alkylating payload into tumor cells. It is promptly taken up by myeloma cells due to its high lipophilicity and is immediately cleaved by peptidases to deliver an entrapped hydrophilic alkylator payload. Peptidases play a key role in protein homeostasis and feature in cellular processes such as cell-cycle progression and programmed cell death. In February 2021, the USFDA approved Pepaxto in combination with dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, who have received at least four prior lines of therapy and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one CD38-directed monoclonal antibody.

Sarclisa (Isatuximab): Sanofi

Sarclisa - a product of Sanofi is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD38 receptor on multiple myeloma cells. It is manufactured and designed to initiate programmed tumor cell death (apoptosis) and immunomodulatory activity. In December 2017, Isatuximab received Orphan Designation for the treatment of patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma by the US FDA and EMA.

Xpovio (Selinexor): Karyopharm

Karyopharm' potential candidate Selinexor is an oral, first-in-class, selective inhibitor of nuclear export also known as SINE, compound.

Drugs Uptake

Analyst Opinion

Among the IMid's agent lenalidomide (Revlimid) dominates the Multiple Myeloma market in the 8MM, where it is included in all lines of Multiple Myeloma therapy either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. According to a settlement deal between Celgene and Natco Pharma, a limited generic entry will begin in March 2022 for this candidate, and from January 31, 2026, generic entry will be permitted without volume limitation in the United States. Despite the loss of patent exclusivity in important markets and the approval of other prospective pipeline candidates, lenalidomide is expected to have a significant presence in 2030. Among emerging therapies, Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (JNJ-68284528) from Janssen Biotech/Nanjing Legend Biotech is expected to give tough competition to Idecabtagene Vicleucel.
