a

Score ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater symptom severity/interference.

b

Score ranges from 1 (full health) to 0 (death), with negative scores (to −0.59) reflecting health states valued as worse than death.

c

Score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better health status.

EPd = elotuzumab + pomalidomide + dexamethasone; EQ-5D-3L = 3-level EuroQol 5 dimension; HRQoL = health-related quality of life; MDASI-MM = MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for Multiple Myeloma; Pd = pomalidomide + dexamethasone; SD = standard deviation; VAS = visual analog scale.
