Near-term implementable finding

Impact of doublet post-transplant maintenance on outcomes in multiple myeloma: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Using two maintenance drugs after stem cell transplant improves survival in multiple myeloma compared to single-agent therapy.

This propensity score-matched analysis compared doublet versus single-agent post-transplant maintenance in multiple myeloma using real-world data from a major academic center network. Doublet maintenance showed superior survival outcomes, providing practical evidence for intensification of post-transplant maintenance in eligible MM patients.
