This year’s ASH conference saw a significant focus on multiple myeloma. Arcellx's Gilead-partnered CAR-T therapy, anitocabtagene autoleucel was a major highlight. At a follow-up of 34 months, a single anito-cel infusion delivered early, deep, and long-lasting responses in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Remarkably, the complete response rate reached 79%. Importantly, the treatment demonstrated a manageable safety profile.[1, 2] However, notable advancements in BCMA-directed multiple myeloma therapies extend beyond CAR-T, with a focus on antibody formats.
