Abstract
Early frontline data presented at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting suggest that T cell-redirecting strategies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), can induce rapid, high rates of minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative responses in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), including transplant-ineligible (TI) and high-risk populations. However, short follow-up, heterogeneous MRD methodologies, and infection risk-particularly with continuous bispecific exposure-underscore that these approaches remain investigational and should be advanced through randomized, MRD-guided fixed-duration trials.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Hematology & Oncology is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of hematology and oncology with an emphasis on preclinical, basic, patient-oriented and translational research. The journal acts as an international platform for sharing laboratory findings in these areas and makes a deliberate effort to publish clinical trials with 'negative' results and basic science studies with provocative findings.
Experimental Hematology & Oncology publishes original work, hypothesis, commentaries and timely reviews. With open access and rapid turnaround time from submission to publication, the journal strives to be a hub for disseminating new knowledge and discussing controversial topics for both basic scientists and busy clinicians in the closely related fields of hematology and oncology.
