Overview

The number and type of treatments for multiple myeloma continue to expand rapidly. The emergence of several new immunotherapy options holds particular promise for patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma, but effectively integrating these approaches into practice remains a significant challenge.

Developed for oncology nurses and advanced practitioners, this RME Hot Seat provides a virtual Q&A with a panel of experts who field a range of questions on the use of antibody-based therapies, bispecific T-cell engagers, chimeric antigen receptor T–cell therapy, and other new and emerging immunotherapeutic options for myeloma patient care.
