Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel, an Anti-B-cell Maturation Antigen Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy, for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: CARTITUDE-1 2-Year Follow-Up

Thomas Martin et al.

Summary: PURPOSECARTITUDE-1, a phase Ib/II study, evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel in heavily treated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The study showed early, deep, and durable responses at 12 months, with updated results at 2 years. Patients received a single infusion of Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel and responses were assessed.

Ide-cel or Standard Regimens in Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Paula Rodriguez-Otero et al.

Summary: In this international phase 3 trial, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), a B-cell maturation antigen-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, was found to significantly prolong progression-free survival and improve response compared to standard regimens in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The toxicity of ide-cel was consistent with previous reports.

ASTCT Clinical Practice Recommendations for Transplantation and Cellular Therapies in Multiple Myeloma

Binod Dhakal et al.

Summary: Therapeutic options in multiple myeloma have changed dramatically in the past decade. A panel of experts formulated clinical practice recommendations for the role, timing, and sequencing of autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. The panel endorsed the use of auto-HCT consolidation for newly diagnosed patients and recommended its use in the first relapse for patients not undergoing upfront auto-HCT.

Nikhil C. Munshi et al.

Summary: The phase 2 study confirmed the efficacy and safety of ide-cel in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma, with a majority of patients achieving responses and 26% achieving MRD-negative status. Despite the high response rate, almost all patients experienced grade 3 or 4 toxic effects, including hematologic toxic effects and cytokine release syndrome.

KTE-X19 for relapsed or refractory adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: phase 2 results of the single-arm, open-label, multicentre ZUMA-3 study

Bijal D. Shah et al.

Summary: KTE-X19 demonstrated a high rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete haematological recovery in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Median overall survival was not reached in responding patients, and the therapy showed a manageable safety profile. These findings suggest that KTE-X19 has the potential to provide long-term clinical benefit to these patients.
