Abstract

The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) is evolving rapidly. In recent years, T-cell-based novel immunotherapies emerged as new treatment strategies for patients with relapsed/refractory MM, including highly effective new options like chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Currently, B-cell maturation antigen is the most commonly used target antigen for CAR T-cell and bsAb therapies in MM. Results from different clinical trials have demonstrated promising efficacy and acceptable safety profile of bsAb in RRMM.

Keywords: CAR T cell; Immunotherapy bispecific antibody; Multiple myeloma.
