Leveraging BCMA-Directed Therapies for Improved Patient Outcomes in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is a disease that remains incurable for most patients, many of whom become refractory to the majority of available treatments (Kumar et al, 2022). It is estimated that 35,730 new cases of multiple myeloma are diagnosed in the United States annually, and 12,590 people die of the disease (Siegel et al, 2023). Agents targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, and bis... |

Addressing Key Questions About BCMA-Targeted Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Though treatment advances have improved outcomes for most patients, MM remains an incurable disease characterized by continuous relapse. However, the treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) has expanded in recent years, and patients who relapse and/or become refractory to initial therapies are benefiting from the increasing availability of a diverse range of novel agents, including B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)"targeted immunotherapies. These agents ... |
