For categorical variables, percentages were calculated from raw counts and rounded to the nearest whole number; as a result, totals may vary slightly from 100%. A total of 51 patients were included, unless otherwise specified.
BCMA, B-cell maturation antigen; CAR-T, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy; ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; HDT/ASCT, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant; IEC-HS, immune effector cell–associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis–like syndrome; IgA, immunoglobulin A; R-ISS, Revised International Staging System.
Estimated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
Presence of one or more of the following cytogenetic abnormalities upon fluorescent in situ hybridization testing: t(4;14), t(14;16), and del(17p).
Failure to achieve at least a partial response or progression within 60 days of last exposure to an immunomodulatory drug, a proteasome inhibitor, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
Failure to achieve at least a partial response or progression within 60 days of last exposure to lenalidomide, pomalidomide, bortezomib, carfilzomib, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
This includes bispecific antibodies targeting BCMA (eg, teclistamab, elranatamab, or linvoseltamab) or FcRH5 (eg, cevostamab), as well as (CAR-T) targeting BCMA (eg, ide-cel or cilta-cel) or GPRC5D (eg, MCARH109).
This includes BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies (eg, teclistamab, elranatamab, or linvoseltamab), CAR T cell (eg, idecabtagene viculeucel [ide-cel] or ciltacabtagene autoleucel [cilta-cel]), or antibody-drug conjugates (eg, belantamab mafodotin).
At the 3-month time point, 12 patients had either died or started another line of therapy.
