Abstract
Abstract Background Despite improved outcomes achieved with high dose melphalan conditioned ASCT for MM patients, relapse is inevitable. Consolidation/maintenance therapy with novel agents following ASCT can prolong progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as well as further improve depth of response, the latter being associated with superior survival. More sensitive techniques are now available to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD). Aim To document disease response changes in MM patients receiving maintenance lenalidomide and alternate-day prednisolone (RAP) af..
