Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in Multiple Myeloma

Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2023 Dec;37(6):1089-1105. doi: 10.1016/j.hoc.2023.05.008. Epub 2023 Aug 8.

Abstract

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy with an approximate incidence of up to 8.5 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Over the last decade, therapy for multiple myeloma has undergone a revolutionary change. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has played a major role in this evolution. In this review, we discuss the existing state of CAR T-cell therapy in myeloma while evaluating several newer therapies and targets expected in the near future.

Keywords: BCMA; BiTEs; CAR-T; GPRC5D; Multiple myeloma.
