eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, Ig immunoglobulin, Isa isatuximab, ISS International Staging System, IMiD immunomodulatory drug, Pd pomalidomide and dexamethasone, PI proteasome inhibitor.

aISS staging was derived based on the combination of serum β2-microglobulin and albumin.

bHigh risk was defined as del(17p), t(4;14), or t(14;16) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cytogenetics was performed by a central laboratory with a cut-off of 50% for del(17p), and 30% for t(4;14) and t(14;16).
