          At the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago, researchers on Sunday are presenting trial data showing that the drug, called Blenrep, outperformed a standard therapeutic approach when combined with another medicine in patients with multiple myeloma. It’s the second positive study for Blenrep in myeloma in recent months, and next up could be a return to regulatory agencies to get the drug re-approved.
