Despite improvements in effective therapy, multiple myeloma remains incurable, and virtually all patients will face relapsed disease at some point after diagnosis. The prognosis for relapsed myeloma after developing resistance to anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and autologous stem cell transplantation has been poor; however, the development of immune effector cell therapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells may dramatically improve the outlook for patients, although none of these therapies are approved for MM to date. Herein, we review the development and history of CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma, mechanisms of resistance, and strategies to improve outcomes with CAR T therapy.

Metabolic reprogramming induced by PSMA4 overexpression facilitates bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma.

Ann Hematol

Department of Hematology, Navy Medical Center of PLA, Naval Medical University, No. 338 West Huaihai Road, Changning District, Shanghai, 200052, China.

Multiple myeloma(MM) remains incurable with high relapse and chemoresistance rates. Differentially expressed genes(DEGs) between newly diagnosed myeloma and secondary plasma cell leukemia(sPCL) were subjected to a weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA). Drug resistant myeloma cell lines were established.

Background: Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, patients with multiple myeloma (MM) rarely respond to ICB. Accumulating evidence indicates that the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly impacts the efficacy of ICB therapy.

This study updates the disease burden of multiple myeloma (MM) in thirty-three provincial administrative units in China from 1990 to 2021 and forecast the disease burden for 2050. Data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database was used for analysis. In 2021, there were an estimated 17,250 new MM cases and 12,984 deaths in China.

Purpose Of Review: Multiple myeloma is a chronic malignancy and with evolving treatment options, understanding the economic burden and cost-effectiveness of therapies is crucial for clinicians and researchers.

Recent Findings: In this, we review the recent approval of Bispecific antibodies and CAR-T for myeloma and their cost implications, including direct and indirect costs. We compare this to current regimens and provide cost comparisons in this review.

The prognostic impact of 1q21 gain/amplification in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a retrospective study based on a single center in China.

Ann Hematol

Department of Hematology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Myeloma Research Center of Beijing, Capital Medical University, Gongtinanlu No 8, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100020, China.

1q21gain/amp is the most common in patients with multiple myeloma. However, there is limited research on the prognostic heterogeneity of 1q21+, and the prognostic of the 1q21 copy remains controversial. In this study, we primarily conducted a retrospective analysis of the prognostic significance of 1q21 gain/amp in 375 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.
