Objective: This study estimated the comparative efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) versus the approved idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) dose range of 300-460 × 10 CAR-positive T-cells for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who were previously treated with a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (i.e. triple-class exposed) using matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparisons (MAICs).

Methods: MAICs were performed with individual patient data for cilta-cel (CARTITUDE-1; NCT03548207) and published summary-level data for ide-cel (KarMMa; NCT03361748). Treated patients from CARTITUDE-1 who satisfied the eligibility criteria for KarMMa were included in the analyses. The MAIC adjusted for unbalanced baseline covariates of prognostic significance identified in the literature and by clinical expertise. Comparative efficacy was estimated for overall response rate (ORR), complete response or better (≥CR) rate, duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

Results: Cilta-cel was associated with statistically significantly improved ORR (odds ratio [OR]: 94.93 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 21.86, 412.25;  < .0001]; relative risk [RR]: 1.34), ≥CR rate (OR: 5.49 [95% CI: 2.47, 12.21;  < .0001]; RR: 2.21), DoR (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.50 [95% CI: 0.29, 0.87;  .0137]), and PFS (HR: 0.37 [95% CI: 0.22, 0.62;  = .0002]) when compared with ide-cel. For OS, the results were in favor of cilta-cel and clinically meaningful but with a CI overlapping one (HR: 0.55 [95% CI: 0.29, 1.05;  = .0702]).

Conclusions: These analyses demonstrate improved efficacy with cilta-cel versus ide-cel for all outcomes, highlighting its therapeutic potential in patients with triple-class exposed RRMM.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving nearly 2,000 non-resectable HCC patients showed that LMWA had comparable safety and overall survival rates to PRFA and significantly better survival rates than TACE after 1, 3, and 5 years.
  • * The results suggest that LMWA is a viable treatment option for early HCC, outperforming TACE while demonstrating similar efficacy to PRFA, which supports its potential inclusion in standardized treatment

Background: Without head-to-head trials between talazoparib+enzalutamide (TALA + ENZA), olaparib+abiraterone acetate (OLAP + AAP), and niraparib plus AAP (NIRA + AAP) the ability to evaluate their relative efficacy as first-line (1 L) treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the relative efficacy between TALA + ENZA (TALAPRO-2) versus OLAP + AAP (PROpel) and NIRA + AAP (MAGNITUDE) in 1 L mCRPC via a matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparison (MAIC).

Methods: Patient-level data from TALAPRO-2 and published data from PROpel and MAGNITUDE were used.

This study systematically reviews existing data on the efficacy of Tyrosine Kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitors in comparison to placebo or standard treatments for therapeutic benefit and improving quality of life in dermatological diseases. Seventeen records representing 13 clinical trials, one matching-adjusted indirect comparison, and one case study were included. Results indicate that Deucravacitinib is superior to placebo, Apremilast and Adalimumab in treating adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and superior to placebo in the treatment of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Article Synopsis
  • Ponatinib and asciminib are both approved for treating chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) in the U.S., specifically for patients who have not responded to other therapies or have the T315I mutation, with ponatinib also available in Europe for this mutation.
  • A systematic review identified clinical trials comparing the effectiveness of ponatinib and asciminib for patients who have relapsed or are resistant to treatments, and a statistical analysis was used to compare their response rates after matching patient characteristics.
  • Results showed ponatinib had significantly higher response rates than asciminib, particularly in patients with the T315I mutation, indicating that ponatinib may be a more effective treatment option in these cases.
