Iberdomide is a far more potent successor to lenalidomide, now in phase 3 as post-transplant maintenance and in relapsed disease.
Iberdomide is a cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD) that binds cereblon with around 20-fold higher affinity than lenalidomide, degrading Ikaros and Aiolos more completely and so killing myeloma cells and stimulating T cells more potently. Because it acts through the same pathway with greater force, it is active in lenalidomide-refractory disease: in CC-220-MM-001 the doublet with dexamethasone gave an ORR of about 26%, higher in combinations. Its main development is as post-transplant maintenance, where the phase 3 EXCALIBER-Maintenance trial against lenalidomide met its primary endpoint according to BMS reports in 2026, and in relapsed disease, where EXCALIBER-RRMM (Iber-Dd versus Dara-Vd) is ongoing. It is a more powerful successor to lenalidomide aiming to keep myeloma in remission longer after transplant.
Binds cereblon with ~20-fold higher affinity than lenalidomide, degrading Ikaros/Aiolos more completely.
1.Iberdomide binds its target with one end and an E3 ubiquitin ligase with the other.
