This supports BCMA-targeted re-treatment in patients with adequate T cell health. In a phase I, first-in-human clinical trial (n=18; relapsed/refractory MM) combining the GSI, crenigacestat, with anti-BCMA CAR T-cell therapy (FCARH143), we recently demonstrated that plasma cell BCMA antibody-binding capacity increased a median of 12-fold among 17/18 (94%) of participants after they received a 5-day GSI

Genetic Basis of Relapse after GPRC5D-Targeted CAR T Cells (Grand Hyatt - Seaport Ballroom EFGH) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_1388; Our patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma may harbor greater tumor heterogeneity and genomic instability than previously described, which can facilitate clonal outgrowth of antigen-negative tumor cells under continuous selective pressure of GPRCRD-targeted CAR T cells. Potential strategies to mitigate antigen escape-mediated relapse in myeloma patients receiving T-cell engaging therapies including earlier use of these therapies, multi-antigen targeting, or combination approaches are being evaluated in ongoing trials.

Since it is challenging to identify the optimal sequences, it is important to apply each treatment individually based on clinical trial results. In the educational session, the framework to choose the most optimal treatment based on evidence of relapsed multiple myeloma therapies in each treatment line will be discussed.

Journal, IO biomarker: CD38 Antibody Re-treatment in Daratumumab-Refractory Multiple Myeloma After Time on Other Therapies. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 26, 2023 Patients clinically re-treated with anti-CD38 antibodies had < 6 months of clinical benefit, but one patient for who was daratumumab-exposed but not refractory achieved complete response lasting 13 months. We conclude that transient efficacy can be achieved by waiting one year before CD38 antibody re-challenge, but this approach may be best used as a bridge to, or after, CAR-T.
