Jack Khouri, MD, presents the case of a 68-year-old patient with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and extramedullary disease treated with teclistamab.

Closing out their discussion, the panel highlights unmet needs in multiple myeloma that clinicians and patients still face.

Drs Cowan and Anderson review whether older agents such as isa-based regimens still have a place in R/R MM treatment after the introduction of bispecific agents and CAR-T therapy.

Dr Silbermann continues her discussion of BCMA-targeting agents with a look at data on the use of bispecific agents for R/R MM treatment after a patient has already received a BCMA therapy.

Key opinion leaders compare the overall benefits of CAR-T therapy and share some advice for managing the toxicities of CAR-T therapy as a patient transitions back to their local doctor.
