Elotuzumab long-term use cycle

Elotuzumab(Elotuzumab) is an innovative immunotherapy drug mainly used to treat multiple myeloma (MM). It is often used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients whose disease remains relapsed or refractory despite multiple treatments. The treatment cycle design of evolizumab is adjusted according to different treatment regimens and the individual circumstances of the patient.

When used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, the evolizumab treatment cycle is usually divided into several phases. The initial phase of treatment consists of the first two cycles, each of which lasts for 28 days. During both cycles, evolizumab was administered once weekly. The goal of this treatment regimen is to rapidly control the disease, reduce tumor burden, and improve patient tolerability.

After the third cycle, dosing frequency is reduced to once every two weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Such a treatment model helps reduce the side effects of the drug while ensuring that the drug's efficacy is maintained. The combination of evolizumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone has demonstrated efficacy in patients with multiple myeloma during long-term treatment.

The treatment cycle is slightly different when used in combination with pomalidomide (pomalidomide) and dexamethasone. The administration pattern for the first two cycles is similar to the above regimen, with each cycle lasting 28 days and 10 mg/kg administered intravenously every week. However, starting in the third cycle, the dosing frequency will be adjusted to once every four weeks, with each intravenous injection of 20 mg/kg. This adjustment helps maintain treatment effects over the long term while reducing treatment burden on patients. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs.
