The rapid development of multiple myeloma (MM) management underscores the value of real-world data. In our study we examined 509 adult MM patients treated with immunochemotherapy (ICT) with/without stem cell transplantation (SCT) from 2013 to 2019 in the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland. Our study was based on computational analyses of data integrated into the hospital data lake. After 2017, treatment pattern diversity increased with improved access to novel treatments. 5-year survivals were 74.4% (95% CI: 65.5-84.5) in SCT-eligible and 44.0% (95% CI: 37.6-51.4) in non-SCT subgroups. In the SCT-eligible subgroup, high first-year hospitalization costs were followed by stable resource requirements. Hospital data lakes can be adapted to carry out complex analysis of large MM cohorts.

Background: Targeting exportin1 (XPO1) with Selinexor (SEL) is a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, intrinsic and acquired drug resistance constitute great challenges. SEL has been reported to promote the degradation of XPO1 protein in tumor cells.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy with increasing global incidence. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy targeting BCMA has shown efficacy in relapsed or refractory MM, but it faces resistance due to antigen loss and the tumor microenvironment. Bispecific T-cell engaging (BITE) antibodies also encounter clinical challenges, including short half-lives requiring continuous infusion and potential toxicities.

There is no established treatment for late or chronic antibody-mediated rejection of a kidney graft. Rituximab-based treatment is not effective, since long-lived high-affinity plasma cells do not express CD20 and do not depend on previous maturation steps to generate donor-specific antibodies. Conversely, daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, directly targets plasma cells, with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. Previous studies have validated the prognostic significance of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with certain solid tumors. However, the relationship between the PLR and prognosis in myeloma patients has not been clearly demonstrated.

Background And Hypothesis: Teclistamab, a novel bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting CD3 and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are promising options for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). However, the rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with teclistamab remain inadequately characterized. This study aims to compare the incidence, severity, and outcomes of AKI between patients receiving teclistamab and CAR-T therapy.
