    AbstractMultiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease. In Australia, patients receive sequential lines of novel agent (NA)-based lines of therapy (LOTs), including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and CD38-targeting monoclonal antibodies within the constraints of the pharmaceutical benefits scheme. We propose that induction with a quadruplet incorporating all three drug classes and dexamethasone at diagnosis is the best approach to gain disease control.© 2023 The Authors.
