Second-Line Treatment for R/R Multiple Myeloma: Who Is the “Right Patient”?
Panelists discuss how, for second-line treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), patients suitable for CAR T-cell (cilta-cel vs ide-cel) therapy typically have a poor prognosis with limited response to prior therapies. Institutional guidelines focus on factors such as prior lines of therapy, organ function, and cytogenetics. Non-medical factors, such as geographic access and financial constraints, also influence CAR T-cell therapy referral eligibility.
