RESUMEN
Anti-B-cell maturation antigen therapies consisting of bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and chimeric antigen receptor T cells have shown promising results in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, the severe side effects include cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, cytopenia(s), infections, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and organ toxicity, which could sometimes be life-threatening. This review focuses on these most common complications post-BCMA therapy. We discussed the risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical features associated with these complications, and how to prevent and treat them. We included four original studies for this focused review. All four agents (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, teclistamab, belantamab mafodotin) have received FDA approval for adult RRMM patients. We went through the FDA access data packages of the approved agents to outline stepwise management of the complications for better patient outcomes.
RESUMEN
Cisplatin is a well-known chemotherapeutic agent that can be associated with hyponatremia. It is known to be associated with a multitude of renal disorders including acute kidney injury with reduced glomerular filtration, Fanconi syndrome, and renal tubular acidosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and renal salt wasting syndrome. We report a case of an elderly male presenting with significant recurrent hyponatremia, and prerenal azotemia. With recent exposure to cisplatin along with significant hypovolemia and urinary loss of sodium, he was diagnosed to have cisplatin induced renal salt wasting syndrome.
