Includes all data up to cycle 13 (where both treatment arms had ≥10 patients).

a

A treatment difference that exceeds the MID indicates a clinically meaningful difference between treatment arms.

b

Score ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater symptom severity/interference. A positive LS mean change from baseline indicates worsening and a positive LS mean treatment difference indicates greater symptom burden/interference for EPd.

c

Utility index score ranges from 1 (full health) to 0 (death), with negative scores (to −0.59) reflecting health states valued as worse than death. VAS score ranges from 0 to 100. A positive LS mean change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive LS mean treatment difference indicates better HRQoL for EPd.

CI = confidence interval; EPd = elotuzumab + pomalidomide + dexamethasone; EQ-5D-3L = 3-level EuroQol 5 dimension; HRQoL = health-related quality of life; LS = least squares; MDASI-MM = MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for Multiple Myeloma; MID = minimally important difference; MMRM = mixed models for repeated measures; Pd = pomalidomide + dexamethasone; PRO = patient-reported outcome; VAS = visual analog scale.
