Episode 143: Myeloma Series, Pt. 4 - Myeloma Pharmacology (2025)

We bring back our prior pharmacology discussion because it’s so incredibly important for the conversations that are on the horizon over the next few weeks. In this continuation of our myeloma series, we begin our discussion about treatment options for multiple myeloma, focusing first on pharmacology. We are so thrilled to have a special guest, Kathryn Maples, PharmD, BCOP who is a clinical pharmacy specialist in Multiple Myeloma at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia!

Content:

- What are common drugs we use in "triplet regimens"? "quadruple therapy"?

- What considerations must we take into account when prescribing commonly used medications in myeloma?

- How should we counsel our patients?

- What about supportive care?

- How and when do we make dose adjustments?

- This episode is SO eye-opening about the "behind the scenes" of myeloma care that physicians do not see
