Higher levels of CD4-positive naïve T cells in patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma are associated with longer PFS, suggesting T-cell composition may serve as a biomarker to guide patient selection.

Data presented at ASH 2025 suggest earlier-line use of cilta-cel leads to better outcomes in multiple myeloma because patients have fitter immune systems and less exhausted T cells, improving CAR T feasibility, expansion, and durability compared with later-line treatment.

At ASH 2025, iMMagine-1 data showed that anito-cel has a favorable and durable safety profile with low rates of severe CRS, neurotoxicity, and infections.

Updated iMMagine-1 data presented at ASH 2025 show that anito-cel delivers deep, durable responses in heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.
