Overview

U.S. regulators are signaling a potential shift in what evidence may support faster pathways in multiple myeloma. Recent coverage centers on an FDA draft guidance that discusses using minimal residual disease (MRD) and complete response as potential supports for accelerated approval, alongside commentary that this could, in certain cases, enable clearance based on eliminating tumor cells.
