The studies cover exploratory analysis of efficacy biomarkers for Aponermin based regimens and efficacy and safety evaluations of Aponermin combined with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, XPO1 inhibitors, and BCL-2 inhibitors, in patient populations facing substantial treatment challenges, including relapse after immunotherapy and prior multidrug exposure in relapsed\/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/upload\/2026\/08\/c45c17354dd669e56def33fd69942ea1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Presentation Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Conference: 23rd IMS Annual Meeting &amp; Exposition<\/li>\n<li>Host: International Myeloma Society (IMS)<\/li>\n<li>Dates: September 23 to 26, 2026<\/li>\n<li>Location: Scottish Event Campus (SEC), Glasgow, United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>Format: Poster presentation (3 accepted abstracts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><br \/>Accepted Poster Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Efficacy and Safety of Aponermin (rhTRAIL)-Kd-Based Regimens in Relapsed\/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis Abstract #2442497.

It binds death receptor 4 (DR4) and\/or death receptor 5 (DR5) on the tumor cell membrane to activate the extrinsic apoptosis pathway, triggering a caspase cascade that induces p53-independent apoptosis.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple studies indicate that DR4\/DR5 agonists also carry immunomodulatory activity, suppressing regulatory T cells, tumor-associated macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells within the tumor microenvironment, which may help improve the tumor immune microenvironment.<\/li>\n<li>The IMS Annual Meeting is one of the most authoritative annual academic events in the multiple myeloma field, convening leading global experts across newly diagnosed and relapsed\/refractory MM, CAR-T therapy, bispecific antibodies, and minimal residual disease (MRD), with many major clinical trials selecting the meeting for their first public presentation.<\/li>\n<li>In recent years, basic research, real-world case analyses, and early- to mid-stage data from investigator-initiated clinical studies involving Aponermin have been presented at leading global academic conferences, including IMS, reflecting growing recognition within the international hematology community of death receptor agonists for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and a deepening understanding of their mechanism of action.
