ImmunotherapyRelated Summary Selected
01 Bispecific Antibody-Teclistamab
Oral #97
English Title: Teclistamab, a B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) x CD3 Bispecific Antibody, in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM): Correlative Analyses from MajesTEC‑1
Key Author: Diana Cortes-Selva
Key information: Baseline correlation analysis of patients undergoing phase 2 recommended doses (RP2D) of clinical trials showed that the immune characteristics at baseline included lower T cell counts; higher expression of T cell expression markers such as PD-1, TIM-3 and CD38 at baseline; more Tregs and CD38+Tregs; and a lower proportion of unsensitized T cells and more NK cells. These data support the clinical combination of Teclistamab with drugs such as Daratumumab or immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Oral #160
English title: Teclistamab in Combination with Subcutaneous Daratumumab and Lenalidomide in Patients with Multiple Myeloma: Results from One Cohort of MajesTEC-2, a Phase1b, Multicohort Study
Key Author: Emma Searle
Key information: Initial safety and effectiveness data of patients with multiple myeloma treated with Tec-Dara-Len in the Phase 1b multi cohort study (MajesTEC-2). The median follow-up was 5.78 months and Tec-Dara-Len was found to be safe with good results. The ORR of 13/13 evaluable patients in the 0.72 mg/kg dose group (median follow-up time was 8.61 months), and the ORR of 13/16 evaluable patients in the 1.5 mg/kg dose group (median follow-up time was 4.17 months). The preliminary pharmacokinetic concentration of Tec-Dara-Len is similar to that of Tec monotherapy. This result supports the better control of disease development by early combined Tec treatment regimens.

English title: Teclistamab Population Pharmacokinetics and Exposure-Response Relationship Support 1.5 Mg/Kg Dose Regimen in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Key Author: Xin Miao
Key information: The population pharmacokinetics of Teclistamab after intravenous and subcutaneous administration have been fully verified. Exposure-effect analysis of ORR showed that maximum efficacy could be achieved in RP2D, and there was no significant correlation between Teclistamab exposure and adverse events occurring in grade ≥3 blood and infection treatment. These results support that subcutaneous administration of 1.5 mg/kg per week can be used as a recommended dose for the treatment of RRMM.

English title: Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel (Cilta-cel), a BCMA-Directed CAR-T Cell Therapy, in Patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Early Relapse after Initial Therapy: CARTITUDE-2 Cohort B 18-Month Follow-up
Key Author: Niels WCJ Van De Donk
Key information: functionally high risk Among the high-risk patients, all included patients relapsed within 1 year after receiving standard treatment. After receiving Cilta-cel treatment, the 1-year PFS rate was 90%, the ORR was 100%, and the ≥CR ratio was 90%. The results show that this treatment regimen may significantly improve the adverse prognosis of this high-risk population.
Poster #2028
English title: Efficacy and Safety of Cilta-Cel in Patients with Progressive Multiple Myeloma after Exposure to Non-Cellular Anti-BCMA Immunotherapy
Key Author: Adam D Cohen
Key information: In patients with severe treatment and BCMA cell therapy, receiving Cilta-cel can achieve better efficacy, but its depth of remission and duration of response are lower than those without BCMA treatment. This result suggests the sequence of treatment and the effect of BCMA target elution period on the therapeutic efficacy of this therapy.
Oral #366
English title: Phase I Open-Label Single-Arm Study of BCMA/CD19 Dual-Targeting FasTCAR-T Cells (GC012F) As First-Line Therapy for Transplant-Eligible Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Multiple Myeloma
Key Author: Juan Du
Key information: BCMA/CD19 dual-target FasTCAR-T therapy in phase 1 clinical study of high-risk NDMM. The research results show that the therapy has good safety, up to 100% effectiveness, and a 100% MRD negative rate. We look forward to bringing more relevant data on TE NDMM treatment in the future.
Oral #766
English title: Idecabtagene Vicleucel (Ide-cel) Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) Who Have Received a Prior BCMA-Targeted Therapy: Real World, Multi-Institutional Experience
Key Author: Christopher J. Ferreri
Key information: The results of a large multi-center retrospective study showed that patients who had previously exposed BCMA treatment received Ide-cel PFS, ORR, and ≥CR were relatively worse, and patients who received Ide-cel within six months of previous BCMA target treatment were less effective. Exploring the timing of treatment with Ide-cel after BCMA treatment requires more clinical evidence.
Oral #364
English title: Clinical Activity of BMS-986393 (CC-95266), a G Protein–Coupled Receptor Class C Group 5 Member D (GPRC5D)–Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Therapy, in Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory (R/R) Multiple Myeloma (MM): First Results from a Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label Study
Key Author: Susan Bal
Key Information: A phase I study result of a multi-center, first-time application in humans and dose exploration shows that the GPRC5D-targeted CAR-T product BMS-986393 has good safety, and most of the neurotoxicity and CRS are low-level, with uncommon neurotoxicity and persistent events; 3-month CR rate and MRD negative rate have good results. In the research design of Part B, there will be more dose-related directions to be explored.
Oral #250
English title: Clinical Outcomes and Salvage Therapies in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Following Progression on BCMA-Targeted CAR-T Therapy
Key Author: Kevin R Reyes
Key Information: Although BCMA CAR-T treatment can bring higher ORR, long-term PFS results are still not ideal. Patients who relapse after BCMA CAR-T treatment often predict poor prognosis. Immune drugs targeted by BCMA, including BCMA CAR-T or monoclonal antibodies, may be effective treatment methods for this type of patients. Previous treatment-resistant regimens may still be effective for this group of patients, but the duration of continuous remission is limited; this group of people urgently need new treatment methods to improve prognosis.
Poster #2236
English title: Safety and Efficacy of BCMA-Targeted CAR-T Therapy in Geriatric Patients with Multiple Myeloma
Key Author: Kevin R Reyes
Key information: 77 patients were included in this study, and the retrospective analysis showed that CAR-T therapy did not significantly increase toxicity in patients aged ≥70 years; the OS data of elderly patients was significantly better than that of young patients, and this result may be due to sample size limitations and correction at baseline. It has certain research limitations; in short, the research results show that it is safe and effective for elderly patients to receive CART treatment.
Poster #3315
English title: Immune Recovery Post BCMA CAR-T: Implications for Infection Prophylaxis and Vaccinations
Key Author: Shambavi Richard
Key information: After receiving CAR-T treatment for two years, even if these patients are in a complete remission stage, more than one-third of the patients' immune-related indicators IgM, CD3 and B cell have not returned to normal levels; more than half of the patients' IgA indicators have not returned to normal levels; the results of this article show that the degree of recovery of immune indicators in these patients is poor, which also explains the reasons why the vaccine is poor and the risk of infection is high; based on the results of the article, it is also recommended that patients with immunosuppressive status use drug prevention in advance to reduce the risk of infection.
Poster #3222
English title: Impact of High-Risk Disease on Outcome after CAR-T Cell Therapy for Multiple Myeloma: A Meta-Analysis of 759 Patients
Key Author: Nico Gagelmann
Key information: For RRMM patients treated with CAR-T, high cytogenetic risk is significantly correlated with poor prognosis. Judging from the results of this study, extramedullary factors show a significant correlation between the risk of recurrence and poor survival prognosis.
05 Other immunotherapy
Oral #565
English title: Final Results from the First-in-Human Phase 1/2 Study of Modakafusp Alfa, an Immune-Targeting Attenuated Cytokine, in Patients (Pts) with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM)
Key Author: Dan T. Vogl
Key Information: Modakafusp Alfa is a potential "first-in-class" immune-targeting attenuated cytokine that fuses interferon alpha2b that stimulates the immune response at the Fc end of a monoclonal antibody targeting CD38, aiming to deliver the attenuated interferon alpha2b fragment to cells expressing CD38. The results of this study show that the dose of 1.5 mg/kg Q4W has good safety and anti-tumor activity, and is independent of the expression of CD38 in peripheral blood immune cells.
Poster #4549
English title: Belantamab Mafodotin (Belamaf) for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM): A Real-World Observational Study
Key Author: Malin Hultcrantz
Key information: A real-world study included 137 RRMM patients using Belamaf, which were older and had fewer previous treatment lines compared with the study baseline of DREAMM-2; the overall population ORR was comparable to DREAMM-2 (30.2% vs 31%), the highest proportion of adverse events is corneal lesions, and adverse reactions need to be paid attention to.
Poster #4562
English title: sea-bcma mono- and combination therapy in patients with relaxed/refractory multiple myeloma: updated results of a phase 1 study (sgnbcma-001)
Key author: James E
Key information: SEA-BCMA is a humanized, non-glycosylated IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting BCMA. The updated research results show that the monoclonal antibody has better safety and the combination regimen with dexamethasone may improve clinical efficacy. Subsequently, Part C2 and Part D included the SEA-BCMA combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone regimen in patients who received third-line treatment, and looked forward to the announcement of subsequent results.
