Immune Complications Drive Higher Infection Risk in Advanced Myeloma Therapies
Overview: A New Frontier in Multiple Myeloma Treatment Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR T-cell) therapy and bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapy have transformed the management of advanced multiple myeloma (MM). These immunotherapies mobilize the patient’s own immune system to target and destroy malignant plasma cells, offering durable responses for many who have exhausted conventional therapies. Yet, with…

Addressing Infection Risks: Immune Complications in CAR T-Cell and Bispecific Antibody Therapies for Advanced Multiple Myeloma
Understanding the Shift in Multiple Myeloma Treatment Advances in multiple myeloma (MM) have ushered in a new era of immunotherapies, notably Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapy. These approaches leverage the patient’s own immune system to target myeloma cells, often achieving deep and lasting responses where traditional therapies fall short.…

Immune Complications Elevate Infection Risk in MM Therapies
Overview: Why Immune Complications Matter in Advanced Multiple Myeloma Therapies Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR-T) cell therapy and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have transformed the treatment landscape for multiple myeloma (MM), offering deep and durable responses for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. Yet, these immune-based therapies also bring new challenges. Immune complications, including impaired humoral and…

Blocking Iron Regulating Enzyme Triggers Cancer Cell Death in Multiple Myeloma
Understanding Multiple Myeloma and Iron Regulation Multiple myeloma (MM) is a serious and currently incurable form of blood cancer that predominantly affects plasma cells, a type of white blood cell vital for our immune responses. In MM, abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, disrupting the production of healthy blood cells and leading to…

New Insights into Multiple Myeloma Treatment: Targeting Iron Regulation
Introduction to Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma (MM) is a relentless form of blood cancer characterized by the excessive growth of plasma cells in the bone marrow. These abnormal cells produce unwanted antibodies, leading to severe health complications, including weakened immunity and organ damage. While there are treatments available, many patients experience relapses and develop resistance…
