Cilta-cel, a BCMA-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma, was approved in USA on 28 February 2022, for patients with relapsed or refractory disease who have received ≥4 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Approval in the EU followed for patients with ≥3 prior therapies. At median 28-month follow-up, the pivotal CARTITUDE-1 trial showed a 98% response rate (83% stringent complete response); median progression-free survival had not been reached, and adverse events could be managed with supportive therapy. Cilta-cel efficacy and safety in earlier lines of therapy, and its optimal sequencing in a complex treatment landscape are important areas of investigation.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy. In the context of the current standard of care therapies in Canada, outcomes among patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), particularly those with triple-class (or more) refractory disease remain poor. Immunotherapies have significantly changed the treatment landscape of MM.

Introduction: Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a BCMA-targeting CAR-T therapy, is approved in the United States and Europe for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and ≥1 prior line of therapy (LOT), including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug, and are lenalidomide refractory.
Areas Covered: We examine recent long-term data in heavily pretreated RRMM (LEGEND-2, CARTITUDE-1) and earlier LOTs (CARTITUDE-4) compared with standard therapy and discuss the rationale for investigating cilta-cel as frontline therapy for transplant-eligible and transplant-ineligible patients (CARTITUDE-5, CARTITUDE-6).
Expert Opinion: CAR-T therapies can improve outcomes for patients with MM across different LOTs.

Recently, many new therapies have improved the outcomes of patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Nevertheless, recurrence is still unavoidable, and better treatment choices for RRMM are urgently needed. The clinical success of Chimera antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in many hematological diseases, including leukemia and lymphoma, has drawn considerable attention to RRMM.
