Article Synopsis
  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow and leads to various health issues like bone pain, kidney damage, and infections.
  • Historically considered incurable with a life expectancy of about three years post-diagnosis, recent advancements in treatment have notably improved patient outcomes and survival rates.
  • New therapies include drugs like thalidomide, lenalidomide, and proteasome inhibitors, alongside monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T therapies, which target cancerous plasma cells more effectively.

Historically, the outcomes for individuals with triple-class refractory and penta-drug refractory multiple myeloma (MM) have been poor because of a dearth of effective treatment options. However, the advent of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell and T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapies has led to unprecedented response rates and durations of response in heavily relapsed/refractory (R/R) populations. Currently, two B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CAR T-cell therapies (idecabtagene vicleucel and ciltacabtagene autoleucel) as well as one BCMA/CD3 BsAb (teclistamab) have been approved for late-line (greater than four previous lines) R/R MM in the United States.

Bispecific BCMA-CD3 Antibodies Block Multiple Myeloma Tumor Growth.

BCMA antigen is overexpressed in multiple myeloma cells and has been shown to be a promising target for novel cellular and antibody therapeutics. The humanized BCMA (clone 4C8A) antibody that effectively targeted multiple myeloma in a CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) format was used for designing several formats of bispecific BCMA-CD3 antibodies. Several different designs of univalent and bivalent humanized BCMA-CD3 CrossMAB and BCMA-FAB-CD3 ScFv-Fc antibodies were tested for binding with BCMA-positive cells and T cells and for killing by real time cytotoxic activity and IFN-gamma secretion with CHO-BCMA target cells and with multiple myeloma MM1S and H929 cell lines.

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a highly plasma cell-selective protein that is expressed on malignant plasma cells of multiple myeloma (MM) patients and therefore is an ideal target for T-cell redirecting therapies. We developed a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) targeting BCMA and CD3ɛ (BI 836909) and studied its therapeutic impacts on MM. BI 836909 induced selective lysis of BCMA-positive MM cells, activation of T cells, release of cytokines and T-cell proliferation; whereas BCMA-negative cells were not affected.
