Background: In CARTITUDE-4, ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) significantly improved progression-free survival (primary endpoint; previously reported) versus standard of care in patients with relapsed, lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma. We report here patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: In the ongoing, phase 3, open-label CARTITUDE-4 study, patients were recruited from 81 sites in the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and were randomly assigned 1:1 to cilta-cel (target, 0·75 × 10 CAR-T cells/kg) or standard of care (daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone; pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone).

Article Synopsis
  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most prevalent blood cancer worldwide, traditionally viewed as aggressive and deadly.
  • Recent advancements in treatment, such as proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators, and corticosteroids, have improved patient outcomes significantly.
  • Due to innovative combination therapies and ongoing research, there is growing optimism for future treatments, aiming to make MM more manageable and potentially curable.

Objectives: To characterize variations in real-world treatment patterns in multiple myeloma (MM) in Portugal over a 5-year period.

Methods: A retrospective cohort multicenter study using secondary data of national hospital drug consumption database from 11 Portuguese public hospitals between 2017 and 2022.

Results: Number of MM-treated patients increased 53% over 5 years (from 825 to 1266 patients).

Lenalidomide, a derivative of thalidomide, is a type of immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) that has been standard therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) and other hematologic malignancies for almost two decades. The success of these drugs in MM has contributed to increased survival of patients and, as a result, patients are at risk for a secondary primary malignancy (SPM), some of which occur as a result of treatment for MM. MM patients have an increased risk for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and Kaposi sarcoma.
