CAR-T Therapy for Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is known for its complex and variable nature, often resulting in relapses and resistance to traditional therapies. Although chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, and novel drugs have improved outcomes, many patients eventually face treatment resistance. CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) therapy is a groundbreaking treatment that has shown remarkable success in treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, offering a promising solution for patients with limited options.

CAR-T therapy involves modifying a patient’s own T-cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells. For multiple myeloma, CAR-T cells are engineered to target the BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen), a protein found on the surface of myeloma cells. After being genetically modified, these T-cells are infused back into the patient’s body, where they seek out and destroy the cancerous cells, potentially leading to remission and long-term survival.

• High Efficacy in Relapsed/ Refractory MM: CAR-T therapy has shown significant success in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, often achieving complete remission or minimal residual disease (MRD) status.
• Targeted Precision: By targeting BCMA, CAR-T therapy precisely attacks myeloma cells, sparing healthy tissue and minimizing side effects compared to conventional treatments.
• Personalized and Innovative: The therapy uses the patient's own T-cells, ensuring a highly personalized treatment plan. This also helps reduce the risk of rejection.
• Long-Term Remission: Many patients treated with CAR-T therapy experience durable responses, with some maintaining remission for years, even after other therapies have failed.

• Collection of T-cells: The first step involves collecting T-cells from the patient’s blood using leukapheresis, a process similar to blood donation.
• Engineering the T-cells: These T-cells are then sent to a laboratory, where they are genetically modified to express the CAR specific to BCMA, enhancing their ability to identify and kill myeloma cells.
• Infusion of CAR-T Cells: After expansion in the lab, the engineered T-cells are infused back into the patient's bloodstream through an IV.
• Monitoring and Recovery: Following infusion, patients are monitored for potential side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurotoxicity. These side effects are typically manageable with medical intervention and monitoring.
