M-protein diagnostics of Multiple Myeloma patients treated with biologics by European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM)
WebcastOVERVIEW
M-protein diagnostics of Multiple Myeloma patients treated with biologics is organized by European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and will be held on Mar 27, 2018.
Treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has substantially changed with the recent introduction of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAb) which have further improved the rates and depth of clinical response. mAb therapy in MM patients has introduced new challenges in how therapy responses can be defined. On the one hand, recently approved mAb interfere with routine M-protein diagnostics. On the other hand, given the high rates of complete responses, new response categories need to be defined to measure minimal residual disease. As a reaction to these challenges research has focused on adaptations of conventional M-protein diagnostics to mitigate interference and on the introduction of novel methods that enable the identification of minimal residual disease. The aim of this e-seminar is to discuss how mAb therapy has changed both the therapeutic as well as the diagnostic landscape of MM.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
