A triplet regimen is standard therapy for nontransplant patients with multiple myeloma. Patients who cannot tolerate a triplet regimen can be started on a doublet regimen. Currently, the use of quadruplet regimens is reserved for transplant-eligible patients with high-risk double- or triple-hit myeloma. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for multiple myeloma list the following combinations as preferred regimens (category 1) for primary induction therapy in patients who are not transplant candidates:

Bortezomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone
Daratumumab/lenalidomide/dexamethasone
