The CHMP adopted a new indication as follows:

Sarclisa is indicated:

For information, the full indications for Sarclisa will be as follows¹:

Sarclisa is indicated:

• in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.
• in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy (see section 5.1).
• in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant.
