AI Article Synopsis

  • Three new bispecific antibodies—teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab—have recently been approved by the FDA for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
  • The article reviews data on these treatments and explores practical considerations for their clinical use.
  • The medical community is awaiting results from randomized phase III clinical trials to compare these new therapies to standard treatments.

Article Abstract

In the past year, three new bispecific antibodies have received accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In this article, we review the available data for these three agents, teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab, and discuss practical considerations for their use in clinical settings while the medical community awaits randomized phase III clinical trial datasets comparing them to standard-of-care regimens.

Herpesvirus Infections After Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy and Bispecific Antibodies: A Review.

Viruses

January 2025

Department of Infectious Diseases, Infection Control, and Employee Health, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Boulevard, Houston, TX 77030, USA.

In this narrative review, we explore the burden and risk factors of various herpesvirus infections in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy or bispecific antibodies (BsAb) for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. Antiviral prophylaxis for herpes simplex/varicella zoster viruses became part of the standard of care in this patient population. Breakthrough infections may rarely occur, and the optimal duration of prophylaxis as well as the timing of recombinant zoster immunization remain to be explored.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy caused by clonally expanded plasma cells that produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein), a personalized biomarker. Recently, we developed an ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry method to quantify minimal residual disease (MS-MRD) by targeting unique M-protein peptides. Therapeutic antibodies (t-Abs), key in MM treatment, often lead to deep and long-lasting responses.

Visual and High-Efficiency Secretion of SARS-CoV-2 Nanobodies with .

Biomolecules

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering, Hubei Key Laboratory of Industrial Biotechnology, School of Life Sciences, Hubei University, Wuhan 430062, China.

Nanobodies have gained attention as potential therapeutic and diagnostic agents for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) due to their ability to bind and neutralize the virus. However, rapid, scalable, and robust production of nanobodies for SARS-CoV-2 remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we developed a visual and high-efficiency biomanufacturing method for nanobodies with by fusing the super-folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) to the N-terminus or C-terminus of the nanobody.

The Role of the Tumor Microenvironment in T-Cell Redirecting Therapies of Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Lessons Learned from CAR-T to Bispecific Antibodies.

Cancers (Basel)

January 2025

RM Gorbacheva Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Transplantation, Pavlov University, 191144 St. Petersburg, Russia.

T-cell redirecting therapies, which include chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-Ts) and bispecific antibodies (BSAs), have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed\refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Expanding clinical experience with these advanced therapies shows the potential for the optimization of their use with combination or consolidation strategies, which necessitates the prognostic stratification of patients. While traditional clinical prognostic factors identified in the era of chemotherapy are characterized by limited value, the tumor microenvironment (TME) is becoming a new prognostic cluster.

: Developing ex vivo models that replicate immune-tumor interactions with high fidelity is essential for advancing immunotherapy research, as traditional two-dimensional in vitro systems often lack the complexity required to fully represent these interactions. : In this study, we establish a comprehensive 3D redirect lysis (3D-RDL) assay using colorectal cancer spheroids and adult stem cell-derived, healthy human organoids to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of , a bispecific antibody targeting carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) on cancer cells and CD3 on T cells. This model allows us to assess cytotoxic activity and immune responses, capturing variations in therapeutic response not observable in simpler systems.
