Subcutaneous Versus IV Daratumumab May Be a Preferred Treatment Choice in Patients With R/R MM
Subcutaneously administered daratumumab, the standard formulation used in clinical practice, was associated with a similar efficacy and safety profile as intravenous (IV) daratumumab but also had fewer infusion-related reactions and shorter administration time in this population...
Elranatamab Results in 61% ORR in Patients With R/R MM in Phase II Study
Elranatamab is a humanized bispecific antibody that targets BCMA-expressing MM cells and CD3-expressing T cells. ...
MajesTEC-1 Results Show Teclistamab Elicits Durable Responses in Patients With R/R MM
In patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), treatment with teclistamab, a humanized B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD3 bispecific antibody, resulted in deep responses that can be durable...
Patient-Tailored Therapeutic Strategies Needed in Newly Diagnosed MM
Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) who received a combination therapy of lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) had a 53% higher risk of disease progression or death compared to those who received RVd and also underwent an autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT). ...
BCMA-Directed CAR-T Therapy Effective in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
The fully human B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy CT103A demonstrated activity with an acceptable safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM)...
