Abstract EN

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell neoplasia characterized by relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) disease course, which poses a major therapeutic challenge.

New therapies, including BRAF V600E mutation targeting, may become a new treatment option for R/R MM.

In combination with mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (MEKi), BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) could provide better tailored clinical management, although experience in this field is lacking.

To this date, there is only one case describing R/R MM treatment with BRAFi vemurafenib and MEKi cobimetinib.

This is the first case presenting a R/R MM patient treated with BRAFi dabrafenib and MEKi trametinib.
