Multiple Myeloma remains incurable, and there is a need for therapies with novel mechanisms of action. Recently, B cell maturation antigen targeted therapy has demonstrated deep and durable responses in a largely treated population. However, the relapse rate of myeloma patients after anti-BCMA treatment strategies is increasing worldwide, and one of the most challenging issues for them is to choose the best therapy sequencing. After anti-BCMA treatment, retreatment with anti-BCMA drugs remains an option, but new targets are emerging strongly. One of them is G protein-coupled receptor, class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), that due to the very promising data from the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) seems to be the ideal candidate in the relay of myeloma treatment at relapse. In this literature review, we discuss data from treatment with the new drugs at relapse after anti-BCMA therapies, observing an undeniable benefit from the use of drugs directed against GPRC5D.
