USE OF MINIMAL RESIDUAL DISEASE STATUS TO REDUCE UNCERTAINTY IN ESTIMATING LONG-TERM SURVIVAL OUTCOMES FOR NEWLY DIAGNOSED MULTIPLE MYELOMA PATIENTS

Use of Minimal Residual Disease Status to Reduce Uncertainty in Estimating Long-term Survival Outcomes for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients

**Background:** Demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of new treatments for multiple myeloma (MM) often relies on the extrapolation of overall survival (OS) trial data.This method can introduce uncertainty in long-term survival estimates if OS data are immature, as is often the case in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM).We explore the use of the relationship
