Episode Notes

In this episode, Noopur Raje, MD, answers audience questions from a live CCO Webinar focused on emerging strategies in the use of CAR T-cell therapy for patients with multiple myeloma and key toxicities associated with CAR T-cell therapy, with questions including:

• Now that belantamab mafodotin is approved for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, what are your thoughts on how BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy might be sequenced? Is there reason to think CAR T-cell therapy would still be efficacious following belantamab mafodotin?
• Could BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy replace transplant in the first-line setting for multiple myeloma?
• What are key considerations surrounding the use of tocilizumab for managing cytokine-release syndrome?
• What are some of the longer-term toxicities associated with CAR T-cell therapy? When do they emerge and how long do they typically last?
