The goal of this observational study is to study the effectiveness and complications of novel immunotherapies used in the treatment of multiple myeloma in routine care in Norway. The aim is to close knowledge gaps, generate evidence for future clinical trials and contribute to future consensus on how to monitor for adverse events, and what mitigation strategies should be implemented, so that we can increase patient survival and quality-of-life.

iFIT is a trial for newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible patients with the bone marrow cancer myeloma. These patients are generally older and have a lower level of fitness than others. Patients can take part if their doctor would otherwise recommend the standard NHS treatment daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd). After six months of DRd, the subsequent treatment a patient receives in iFIT is based on two factors: the patient's fitness level and treatment response. The trial compares different treatment strategies to determine whether outcomes can be improved for specific patient groups.
