Discover how real-world evidence (RWE) for the NINLARO® (ixazomib) regimen* can complement clinical trial results1-5

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.1

RWE PROVIDES DATA ABOUT PATIENT OUTCOMES FROM ROUTINE CLINICAL PRACTICE

Randomized, controlled trials are the gold standard for measuring efficacy and safety; however, up to 72% of real-world patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM)* do not meet eligibility criteria for clinical trials6

*Range: 47.9%-72.3%. Based on US EHR data from 600+ hospitals and 6,500 clinics.6

"In general, real-world evidence trials often include patients who are excluded from clinical trials and tend to experience worse outcomes,3,6,8 perhaps because of comorbidities, concomitant medication use, or frailness."

– Saulius K. Girnius, MD

Real-world studies include a broader range of patients with RRMM who are underrepresented in clinical trials3-5,8

"In addition to clinical trials, prospective or retrospective real-world studies are critical to help providers determine how treatments can help patients in their clinical practice.3,7,8"

THE TOURMALINE-MM1 PIVOTAL TRIAL EVALUATED EFFICACY AND SAFETY FOR THE NINLARO REGIMEN*

TOURMALINE-MM1 was a global, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone vs placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone in patients with RRMM who had received at least one prior line of therapy (N=722).1,2 Explore MM1 efficacy Explore MM1 safety

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO+lenalidomide+dexamethasone.1

CONSISTENT EFFICACY AND SAFETY WERE DEMONSTRATED WITH THE NINLARO REGIMEN* IN 3 REAL-WORLD STUDIES1-5

Real-world study designs3-5

Terpos et al: A multicenter, retrospective analysis of NINLARO + Rd in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Patients received a median of 1 prior therapy, the same as the TOURMALINE-MM1 study.

Hájek et al: A global retrospective analysis of NINLARO + Rd in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received a median of 2 prior therapies vs a median of 1 prior therapy in the TOURMALINE-MM1 study.

Minařik et al: A prospective analysis of NINLARO + Rd vs Rd in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Patients received a median of 1 prior therapy, the same as the TOURMALINE-MM1 study.

Consistent PFS was seen with the NINLARO regimen* in the real
world1-5

Discover results from 3 different real-world studies that evaluated RRMM patients outside of clinical trials.

ARs seen in real-world settings were consistent with the known safety profile4,5

The NINLARO regimen* demonstrated a safety profile comparable to the NINLARO arm in TOURMALINE-MM1 for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.1-5

*The NINLARO regimen included NINLARO + lenalidomide + dexamethasone¹; the Rd regimen included placebo + lenalidomide + dexamethasone.

ARs=adverse reactions; PFS=median progression-free survival; Rd=lenalidomide + dexamethasone; EHR=Electronic Health Record.

  • Cross-trial comparisons are potentially confounded by differences in trial design and study population. Observational, retrospective analyses are not intended for direct comparison with clinical trials.6

REAL-WORLD STUDY LIMITATIONS

Real-world analyses are often nonrandomized, observational, retrospective studies that may have unobserved treatment-selection biases as well as other limitations that should be considered when comparing results with clinical trials. Outcomes should be interpreted with caution because of small sample size, limited follow-up, and limited maturity of data.4 Learn more about study limitations>
