Bridging treatment prior to chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy in multiple myeloma
Susan Bal, Luciano J. Costa
Abstract
Autologous patient-derived adoptive T-cell therapies have revolutionized the management of relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). However, the current manufacturing and quality control processes result in lengthy vein-to-vein time, making bridging therapy necessary for most patients. Yet the decision and choice of optimal bridging therapy are complex in the heavily pretreated relapsed MM patient. In this perspective piece, the authors provide their approach and considerations while selecting an optimal bridging regimen before autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
