BCMA-Targeted Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Published phase 1 findings support the promising efficacy and tolerability of anito-cel in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, explains lead author Matthew Frigault, MD.

In the phase 3 EXCALIBER-RRMM trial, iberdomide plus daratumumab and dexamethasone doubled MRD-negative complete response rates over standard therapy in relapsed myeloma.

Closing sessions at IMS 2026 featured MRD-guided treatment strategies, real-world CAR T-cell data, and mixed results on cilta-cel neurotoxicity prevention in myeloma.

Etentamig significantly improved response and survival over standard therapy in the phase 3 CERVINO trial, headlining day 3 of IMS 2026 myeloma coverage.

In an interview, Peter Voorhees, MD, discusses his presentation of the CERVINO trial data from the International Myeloma Society meeting.

Half of patients who stopped MRD-guided maintenance in GEM2014MAIN remained progression-free at 7 years, as IMS 2026 also featured DREAMM-9, MIDAS, and novel bispecific data.

A new IMS/IMWG consensus definition requires 5 years of treatment-free, MRD-negative remission before multiple myeloma can be called cured.

Mezigdomide plus elranatamab yielded a 100% ORR in MELT-MM, as other IMS 2026 abstracts covered cevostamab, anito-cel vs cilta-cel, and linvoseltamab in HR-SMM.
