Expert Recommendations & Patient Perspectives for Treating Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
In this webcast, expert faculty discuss best practices in treating patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and discuss the patient's perspective on treatment options. Learners will also get a look ahead at emerging therapeutic strategies and clinical trials...
Overview of Key Early-phase CAR T-cell Therapy Studies in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
In this article, we look at some of the early-phase clinical trials, where chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been targeted to the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) in patients with relapsed or refractory MM (RRMM). The anti-BCMA CAR T-cell...
What Are Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells and What is Their Potential Target Site in Multiple Myeloma?
CAR T-cell structure CARs are typically composed of four regions: (1) an extracellular antigen-binding domain; (2) a hinge or spacer peptide; (3) a transmembrane domain that anchors the CAR to the cell membrane; and (4) one or more intracellular signalling domains...
