ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a BCMA-targeting CAR-T therapy, is approved in the United States and Europe for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and ≥1 prior line of therapy (LOT), including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug, and are lenalidomide refractory. AREAS COVERED We examine recent long-term data in heavily pretreated RRMM (LEGEND-2, CARTITUDE-1) and earlier LOTs (CARTITUDE-4) compared with standard therapy and discuss the rationale for investigating cilta-cel as frontline therapy for transplant-eligible and transplant-ineligible patients (CARTITUDE-5, CARTITUDE-6). EXPERT OPINION CAR-T therapies can improve outcomes for patients with MM across different LOTs. CARTITUDE-1 and CARTITUDE-4 have set a new bar for efficacy, with median PFS of 34.9 months in heavily pretreated patients (CARTITUDE-1) and a 74% relative risk reduction for progression/death versus standard care in patients with 1-3 prior LOTs (CARTITUDE-4), with manageable safety. Response rates were consistent between the two studies 98% in CARTITUDE-1 and approaching 100% for infused patients in CARTITUDE-4. Cilta-cel could be a key treatment choice for patients with RRMM after first LOT. Clinical trials investigating frontline cilta-cel therapy will provide valuable insights into optimizing treatment pathways with the aim to potentially cure MM.Palavras-chave
