ASH is the world’s largest professional hematologic society serving both clinicians and scientists around the world who are working to conquer blood diseases.

The phase 3 OCEAN study is a global, randomized, head-to-head, open-label study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of melflufen and dexamethasone, versus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who have received 2-4 prior therapies.

"This long-term follow-up of OCEAN confirms the favorable safety and overall survival outcomes of melflufen + dexametason in patients that have not progressed within 36 months after a stem cell transplantation and supports its use in patients with relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma," says Fredrik Schjesvold, MD, Head of Oslo Myeloma Center, Oslo University Hospital. "We are happy to have been selected to present our findings at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) and look forward to the opportunity."
