Exploiting BCMA in the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma: How Could Bispecific Antibodies and T-Cell Engagement Impact Relapsed/Refractory Disease? Proceedings from a Clinical Olympics℠

Program Overview

The advent of BCMA-directed therapy fills a significant gap in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. As the field rapidly evolves, clinicians are challenged to navigate an increasingly complex therapeutic landscape. In this clinically relevant, high-level activity, Dr. Sundar Jagganath, Dr. María-Victoria Mateos, and Dr. James Hoffman provide privileged insights into optimal selection and integration of BCMA-directed therapies, particularly bispecific antibodies, to maximize patient outcomes.
