flag Scotland approves new myeloma drug combo, boosting survival and reducing death risk.

flag Scotland has approved a new combination therapy—Blenrep with bortezomib and dexamethasone—for adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who can’t use lenalidomide. flag The treatment, backed by clinical data showing a 36.6-month progression-free survival and a 42% lower risk of death compared to standard care, is now available on NHS Scotland. flag It targets myeloma cells by delivering chemotherapy directly and stimulating the immune system. flag The Scottish Medicines Consortium also approved several other treatments, including for endometrial and bowel cancers and endometriosis, though it rejected Blenrep with pomalidomide due to cost concerns.
