Multiple myeloma, aka Kahler’s disease, is a cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell, and inhibits their ability to fight infection. The American Cancer Society estimates it causes more than 12,400 deaths in the U.S. each year. Prior to this week, there was only one therapy available, which caused supply issues.
