Abstract
Purpose of review: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T) in relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) has rapidly expanded with two FDA-approved agents and many more in the clinical trial pipeline. As such, we aim to review the standard of care and investigational products.
Recent findings: Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) were initially approved in the fourth-line setting and quickly moved to the second-line and third-line settings due to efficacy. Delayed neurotoxicities remain a challenging entity to consider when deciding on CAR T versus other options. Given the high efficacy of cilta-cel, many trials are evaluating its role as frontline consolidation or even in smoldering myeloma. Many novel CAR T products are being studied and will improve the impressive armamentarium of RRMM therapeutics.
Summary: This is an exciting area with countless studies investigating novel CAR T constructs and sequencing in hopes of further extending and improving our patients' lives.
期刊介绍:
With its easy-to-digest reviews on important advances in world literature, Current Opinion in Oncology offers expert evaluation on a wide range of topics from sixteen key disciplines including sarcomas, cancer biology, melanoma and endocrine tumors. Published bimonthly, each issue covers in detail the most pertinent advances in these fields from the previous year. This is supplemented by annotated references detailing the merits of the most important papers.
