Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) Reduced the Risk of Disease Progression or Death by 51% vs SoC in Earlier Lines of Therapy for R/R Multiple Myeloma in Ph 3 KarMMa-3 Study
“In earlier lines of treatment for multiple myeloma, regimens consisting of immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies are often used to help manage the disease. This shift in the treatment paradigm leaves many patients who are triple-class exposed with relapsed and refractory disease and in need of new treatment options sooner,” said Paula Rodriguez-Otero, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Hematology, Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain. “Results from the KarMMa-3 study with Abecma clearly demonstrate the benefit of earlier use of a CAR T cell therapy in providing the longest progression-free survival for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma compared to current standard regimens for these patients.”
