Additionally, novel antibody drugs, such as elotuzumab and selinexor, as well as bispecific antibodies, teclistamab and talquetamab, are currently undergoing clinical research with promising outcomes. However, chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy targeting B-cell maturation antigen remains the optimal approach for MM treatment.

It is likely that the selection of lower risk patients who were more likely to have a durable response to repeated treatment with high dose melphalan and the more recent availability of novel therapies such as anti-CD38 antibodies and bispecific antibodies such as Teclistamab and Talquetamab are factors in the superior OS in patients transplanted since 2015.

Journal: BCMA- or GPRC5D-targeting bispecific antibodies in multiple myeloma: Efficacy, safety and resistance mechanisms. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 9, 2024 Bispecific antibodies that engage T cells to target B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) or G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory MM leading to the recent accelerated approval of teclistamab, elranatamab and talquetamab by health agencies. Future challenges however remain to define their optimal dosing schedule and duration, sequencing and integration with established anti-MM therapeutics as well as delineating the biological and clinical mediators of immune escape.

Overall, our data suggest that antibody therapeutic development efforts by the biopharmaceutical industry are robust and increasingly successful.

We here describe variable non-overlapping mechanisms mediating resistance to sequential TCE and CAR T therapies.
