Decision Points for Using CAR T-Cell Therapy in Early Lines of Treatment
Panelists discuss how, when considering earlier lines of CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, key institutional factors include patient fitness/age, cytogenetic risk status, prior therapy response duration, and BCMA expression levels. Manufacturing timelines, financial considerations, and center-specific outcomes data also influence timing decisions. For patients receiving early-line CAR T therapy, subsequent treatment options typically focus on novel agent combinations or clinical trials exploring additional cellular therapies, with choices guided by response duration to CAR T and the patient’s individual disease characteristics and treatment goals.
