Description

Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation represents a widely accessible therapy in Latin America, particularly crucial given the limited availability of new medications in the region, including monoclonal antibodies, next-generation proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, and advanced cellular therapies.
This study aims to assess the impact of the genetic profile, particularly single nucleotide variants (SNVs), on the clinical outcomes of multiple myeloma (MM) patients following consolidation with high-dose melphalan (HDM) and ASCT. Initially, we identified SNVs through PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing of relevant genetic regions. Subsequently, a comprehensive pharmacogenomic analysis was conducted using the Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array v3.0 (GSA). Key outcomes include response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

Why Become a Member

The International Myeloma Society is a professional, scientific, and medical society established to bring together clinical and experimental scientists involved in the study of myeloma. The purpose of this society is to promote research, education, clinical studies (including diagnosis and treatment), workshops, conferences, and symposia on all aspects of multiple myeloma worldwide.

The IMS is a membership organization comprised of basic research scientists, and clinical investigators in the field along with physicians and other healthcare practitioners.
