CA chromosomal abnormalities, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, d dexamethasone, Dara daratumumab, ECOG Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, Ig immunoglobulin, IMiD immunomodulatory drug, Isa isatuximab, ISS International Staging System, K carfilzomib, MM multiple myeloma, P pomalidomide, PI proteasome inhibitor, QW/Q2W once weekly for 4 weeks, then every other week, R lenalidomide, V bortezomib.

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

bHigh-risk CA was defined as the presence of del(17p), and/or t(4;14), and/or t(14;16) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cytogenetic analysis was performed by a central laboratory with a cut-off of 10% of analyzed plasma cells for del(17p), and 15% of analyzed plasma cells for t(4;14) and t(14;16).
