Treatment in Early Relapse Multiple Myeloma: Takeaways from EHA 2024

When it comes to treating multiple myeloma (MM), Ajai Chari, MD, argued that more is not always better. More intense treatment regimens, or those with more drugs, don't necessarily guarantee better outcomes.

Addressing the accessibility and high costs of chimeric antibody receptor (CAR) T-cell and bispecific therapies is crucial for maximizing their impact in multiple myeloma (MM).

Several studies have been conducted, but questions remain about where such therapies will fit into multiple myeloma treatment strategies.

The study highlights the importance of including patient self-assessment—and not just clinician assessment—when planning treatment in multiple myeloma.

Ajai Chari, MD, stresses the importance of making bispecific therapies more accessible at the community level to improve outcomes in multiple myeloma.

Ajai Chari, MD, University of California San Francisco, explores the challenges that accompany integrating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies into multiple myeloma treatment.
