Multiple Myeloma

Panelists discuss collaborating with community practices on CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma through joint clinical trials, patient education programs, and shared data initiatives. These partnerships enhance treatment access, foster innovation, and improve patient outcomes across diverse settings.

Panelists discuss how the evolving treatment landscape for patients with transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) is being shaped by emerging data on optimal treatment sequencing strategies, both in frontline settings and subsequent lines of therapy.

Having extramedullary disease correlated with worse PFS and OS among patients who received belantamab mafodotin for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Panelists discuss how recent findings from the GMMG-HD7 trial comparing isatuximab-RVd vs RVd have shaped treatment decision-making in patients with multiple myeloma by providing comparative efficacy and safety data between the 2 regimens.

Panelists discuss how the choice between isatuximab-based quadruplet and daratumumab-based regimens in multiple myeloma treatment depends on clinical trial data comparing Isa-KRd vs KRd, with particular emphasis on efficacy outcomes and patient-specific factors that might influence treatment selection.

Complete response rate strongly correlated with lower SLiM-CRAB incidence and biochemical progression in those with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.

Patients who received the isatuximab combination in the IMROZ trial experienced prolonged MRD-negativity, which correlated with improved PFS.

Panelists discuss a clinical scenario involving a 56-year-old male man with myeloma and del 17p deletion, treated with RVD induction, auto transplant, and lenalidomide maintenance, who relapsed after 2 years and is now referred to discuss chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) CAR-T versus vs standard therapy, sharing key takeaways and pearls from the case.

Panelists discuss successful collaborations between academic centers and community practices in the context of (chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma, key lessons learned in integrating CAR T therapy into the treatment landscape, and future plans for expanding CAR T therapy’s role in earlier lines of multiple myeloma treatment.

Panelists discuss their institution’s approach to co-management and co-monitoring of (chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T patients, strategies to facilitate seamless transitions of care between academic centers and community practices, common challenges in the CAR -T referral process and solutions, and advice for community physicians on the timing and preparation for patient referrals.

Panelists discuss how challenges in the CAR T referral process include delayed referrals, patient logistics, and managing expectations. One institution addresses these through streamlined communication, patient education, and clear referral guidelines. Community physicians should refer early on, ensure candidacy, and collaborate closely to optimize outcomes.

Panelists discuss how, a collaborative approach to co-managing and co-monitoring patients receiving CAR-TCAR T-cell therapy patients, ensuring continuity of care as they transition to community settings. We They employ detailed care plans, electronic health records integration, and regular follow-ups with community providers to facilitate seamless transitions.

Panelists discuss how CAR T-cell therapy involves engineering a patient’s T cells to target cancer cells. The process includes cell collection, genetic modification, expansion, and reinfusion and streamlines the process with integrated workflows. Bridging therapy is provided in-house to treat patients awaiting CAR-T infusion.

Panelists discuss how the typical CAR T-cell therapy referral process begins with community physicians contacting the treatment center. The patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, including medical history, eligibility criteria, and pretreatment assessments before final selection for therapy.

Additionally, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology and Chinese Anti-Cancer Association guidelines recommend the isatuximab regimen for this population.

Subcutaneous isatuximab yields noninferior results vs intravenous isatuximab when paired with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in the phase 3 IRAKLIA trial.

Anito-cel produced no delayed or non–immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome among patients with multiple myeloma.

During the 2024 IMS Annual Meeting, colleagues gathered to discuss the latest advancements in multiple myeloma.

During the 2024 IMS conference, teams from Cleveland, Ohio, and New York, New York, met to debate the latest advances in multiple myeloma.

Arlo-cel yields responses among patient subgroups, including those with triple class–refractory disease and extramedullary disease.

Experts in multiple myeloma spoke about optimal treatment strategies for patients who receive bispecific therapy, focusing specifically on facilitating a multifaceted approach between academic and community practices.

An isatuximab-based quadruplet yields significant long-term benefits regardless of subsequent maintenance in in patients with transplant-eligible NDMM.

This segment explores the treatment journey of a 55-year-old mother and high school teacher with ALK-positive NSCLC and brain metastases, focusing on her experience with lorlatinib therapy.

Panelists discuss how the treatment paradigm for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) has evolved from conventional chemotherapy to modern regimens incorporating novel agents like proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and monoclonal antibodies while highlighting persistent challenges including optimizing treatment sequencing and addressing high-risk disease.

Panelists discuss how health care centers provide comprehensive long-term monitoring and support services for both patients receiving CAR T and their caregivers in the posttreatment period, including regular medical assessments and ongoing educational resources.
