To compare the efficacy of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, bb2121) versus conventional care (CC) in triple-class exposed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. A matching-adjusted indirect comparison was conducted using individual patient-level data from the pivotal, phase II, single-arm KarMMa trial (NCT03361748) and aggregate-level data from MAMMOTH, the largest independent observational study of CC in heavily pretreated RRMM patients. Ide-cel improved overall response rate (odds ratio: 5.30; 95% CI: 2.96-9.51), progression-free survival (hazard ratio: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.36-0.70) and overall survival (hazard ratio: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.25-0.56) versus CC. These results suggest ide-cel offers improvements in clinical outcomes relative to CC in this heavily pretreated RRMM population.

Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) is an anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy approved for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) after 2 prior lines of therapy. There is limited data on outcomes of CAR T in older adults and frail patients with RRMM. In this study, we utilized data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry to describe the safety and efficacy of ide-cel in these clinically important subgroups.

The risk of T cell malignancies after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a concern, although the true incidence remains unclear. Here we analyzed the DESCAR-T registry database, encompassing all pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies who received CAR T cell therapy in France since 1 July 2018. Of the 3,066 patients included (2,536 B cell lymphoma, 162 B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 368 multiple myeloma), 1,680 (54.

Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare clonal plasma cell disorder characterized by the production of amyloidogenic immunoglobulin light chains, which causes the formation and deposition of amyloid fibrils, leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Current treatment is directed at the underlying plasma cell clone to achieve a profound reduction in the monoclonal free light chain production. The standard-of-care first-line therapy is a combination of daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (D-VCd regimen), resulting in high rates of haematological and organ responses.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapies have emerged as a valuable treatment modality for patients with plasma cell disorders. As the population of patients receiving CAR T therapies grows, the identification and management of associated rare toxicities become increasingly crucial. This study aims to identify safety signals associated with commercial anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T therapies using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Introduction: Modern anti-myeloma therapies have broken new ground in the treatment of the disease, and the incorporation of ide-cel in the treatment landscape represents one of the major scientific and clinical advances.

Areas Covered: Ide-cel was the first cell-based gene therapy approved for the treatment of triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory myeloma patients, showing impressive results, and demonstrating superiority over standard regimens in terms of efficacy, potential treatment-free intervals, and improved quality of life in heavily pretreated patients and in high-risk disease. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art of the most recent updates deriving from the use of ide-cel within ongoing, or upcoming, clinical trials, and from real-life experiences.
