RWD-derived response in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Real-world data (RWD) are important for understanding the treatment course and response patterns of patients with multiple myeloma. This exploratory pilot study establishes a way to reliably assess response from incomplete laboratory measurements captured in RWD. A rule-based algorithm, adapted from International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, was used to derive response using RWD. This derived response (dR) algorithm was assessed using data from the phase III BELLINI trial, comparing the number of responders and non-responders assigned by independent review committee (IRC) versus the dR algorithm. To simulate a real-world scenario with missing data, a sensitivity analysis was conducted whereby available laboratory measurements in the dataset were artificially reduced. Associatio
