Rafael Fonseca: Higher rate of neuropathy for bortezomib vs carfilzomib

Rafael Fonseca, Hematologist at Mayo Clinic, shared a post on X:

“Much higher rate of serious neuropathy for bortezomib vs carfilzomib. Most trials on left used biweekly but two, marked by asterisk, use weekly.

This plots only Gr3/4 (available trial data) but grade 2 is important, and even grade 1.”
