Vincent Rajkumar: How Thalidomide Revolutionized the Treatment of Myeloma
Vincent Rajkumar, Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, posted on X:
“The fascinating story of Thalidomide: how this most notorious drug on the planet, banned in the 1960s, made an incredible comeback and revolutionized the treatment of myeloma.
I will also highlight one person whose role is not recognized: Without Dr. Leif Bergsagel there will be no thalidomide for myeloma.
The thalidomide story has many takeaways and lessons.It shows drug development from bedside to bench and back to bedside. It shows the power and impact of astute clinicians. It shows the power of investigator courage.
The role of serendipity.”
