Project
|Updated
Evaluation of the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the increasing number of treatments available for patients who experience relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
Summary
Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common type of blood cancer, reduces the body’s ability to fight infection and can lead to anemia, bone damage, nerve damage, kidney damage, etc. Approximately 450 Norwegians are diagnosed with myeloma annually. Because there is currently no cure for myeloma, it is important to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the increasing number of treatments available for patients who experience relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
