During the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2024 Hybrid Congress, the Lymphoma Hub and Multiple Myeloma Hub held a joint satellite symposium entitled: Sequencing immune-based therapies in B-cell malignancies. Here the Multiple Myeloma Hub is pleased to share the session: Next wave of immune-based therapies: What you need to know, which focused on relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) and was presented by Krina Patel, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, US.

Symposium | The next wave of immune-based therapies: What you need to know in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
In this presentation, Patel discusses novel targets and therapies for multiple myeloma, such as cereblon E3 ligase modulators (CELMoDs), bispecific antibodies targeting FcRH5, trispecific antibodies, and G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D)-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Patel also provides an overview of key ongoing trials of immunotherapy combinations for the treatment of MM (Table 1).

Clinical outcomes for novel immunomodulatory drugs in R/R MM
-
Key ongoing pivotal trials for CAR T-cell therapy, including:
-
Phase II QUINTESSENTIAL trial of CA0881000, a GPRC5D-directed CAR T-cell therapy in R/R MM
-
Phase III CARTITUDE-5 trial of bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone followed by ciltacabtagene autoleucel in newly diagnosed MM for whom allogeneic stem cell transplant is not planned as initial therapy
-
Phase III KarMMa-9 trial of idecabtagene vicleucel with lenalidomide maintenance therapy versus lenalidomide maintenance therapy alone in adult participants with newly diagnosed MM who have suboptimal response after autologous stem cell transplantation
-
Phase I/II OriCAR-017-US-PI open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial of OriCAR-017 in MM
-
Key novel data for MM treatments presented at EHA 2024
Key points
-
Following B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy, new targets for bispecifics and CAR T cells may facilitate better outcomes; however, additional information is required to determine optimal sequencing and/or combinations.
-
It is imperative to optimize supportive care and preventive measures for infections, deep vein thrombosis, gastrointestinal disorders, and other toxicities.
-
Biomarkers have the potential to significantly improve clinical decision-making; more research is needed to determine the mechanisms of resistance for these novel immunotherapies.
Q&A
This symposium closed with a panel Q&A session with live audience participation, where our panelists shared their perspectives on the next wave of immune-based therapies in R/R MM.
