Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with prior allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) are typically excluded from trials of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies, because their engineered cells may include allogeneic T cells. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) demonstrated early, deep, durable responses and manageable safety in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients. We retrospectively analyzed patients who received alloSCT prior to cilta-cel in CARTITUDE-1. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients eligible for CARTITUDE-1 were ≥18 years, had ≥3 prior lines of therapy (LOT) or were double refractory to a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) and had received a PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody. Patients with active graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or had alloSCT within 6 months before apheresis were excluded. Patients received cilta-cel 5 to 7 days after lymphodepletion. RESULTS Patients (N = 7) received median 9 prior LOTs (range, 6-14); median time since alloSCT was 5.1 years (range, 2.7-6.2). At median follow-up 27.7 months after cilta-cel infusion, overall response rate was 85.7% (n = 6). The safety profile was generally consistent with patients without alloSCT as prior therapy (cytokine release syndrome, 85.7% vs. 95.6%, respectively; immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, 14.3% vs. 16.7%). One patient with prior alloSCT had grade 3 movement and neurocognitive treatment-emergent adverse events/parkinsonism. No GVHD cases were reported. Two patients died due to adverse events (treatment-related lung abscess; unrelated liver failure). CONCLUSION Cilta-cel efficacy and safety were comparable between CARTITUDE-1 patients with and without prior alloSCT. Additional studies are needed to fully elucidate the suitability of CAR-T cell therapy in the post-alloSCT setting.

Abstract
Cilta-cel, a BCMA-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma, was approved in USA on 28 February 2022, for patients with relapsed or refractory disease who have received ≥4 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Approval in the EU followed for patients with ≥3 prior therapies. At median 28-month follow-up, the pivotal CARTITUDE-1 trial showed a 98% response rate (83% stringent complete response); median progression-free survival had not been reached, and adverse events could be managed with supportive therapy. Cilta-cel efficacy and safety in earlier lines of therapy, and its optimal sequencing in a complex treatment landscape are important areas of investigation.

Abstract
Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) is a B-cell-maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy. We performed a post hoc analysis of a single-arm phase 1 multicenter study in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (CRB-401) (n = 62; median follow-up, 18.1 months). The primary endpoint was safety outcomes, and secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR). The study met its primary endpoint with low rates of grade 3/grade 4 cytokine release syndrome (6.5%) and neurotoxicity (1.6%). ORR was 75.8%; 64.5% achieved VGPR or better and 38.7% achieved CR or stringent CR. Among exploratory endpoints, median duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 10.3, 8.8 and 34.2 months, respectively, and ide-cel expansion in blood and bone marrow correlated with clinical efficacy and postinfusion reduction of soluble BCMA. Patients with PFS ≥ 18 months had more naive and less exhausted T cells in apheresis material and improved functional T cell phenotype in the drug product compared with those with less durable responses. These results confirm ide-cel safety, tolerability and efficacy and describe T cell qualities that correlate with durable response. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier : NCT02658929 .

Abstract
WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT? This is a summary of a clinical study called CARTITUDE-1. This study tested the anti-cancer chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (CAR-T) therapy ciltacabtagene autoleucel, abbreviated as cilta-cel, in people with multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects a specific type of blood cell called plasma cells. The participants in this study had relapsed or refractory disease, which means that their cancer did not improve or returned after 3 or more previous anti-cancer treatments. HOW WAS THE STUDY IN THIS SUMMARY CONDUCTED? Ninety-seven participants went through the treatment process, which included collecting participants' own T cells (a type of immune cell), genetically modifying those T cells to recognize a certain protein found on myeloma cancer cells, pretreating with chemotherapy to prepare the participant's immune system to accept the modified T cells (cilta-cel), and finally injecting cilta-cel. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY? Ninety-eight percent of participants showed decreases in indicators of cancer after treatment with cilta-cel. Seventy percent of participants were still alive approximately 28 months after treatment, and 55% of participants were still living without their cancer getting worse. The most common side effects were low blood cell levels, infections, cytokine release syndrome (a potentially serious side effect caused by overactivation of the immune system), and side effects that involved the nervous system (called neurotoxicities). Some participants experienced late-onset symptoms of neurotoxicity like the signs and symptoms of parkinsonism, meaning that they affected people's movement. Improvements in recognition of factors that increase the risk of these late-onset neurotoxicities and strategies to help avoid them has reduced their occurrence, although long-term monitoring for side effects is still an important part of treatment. WHAT DO THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY MEAN? Overall, almost all participants treated with cilta-cel had long-term reductions in signs of myeloma, and the majority of participants were alive and had no detectable signs of cancer over 2 years after being injected with cilta-cel. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03548207 (1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 study) NCT05201781 (Long-term Follow-up Study for Participants Previously Treated With Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel).

Abstract
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare subtype of aggressive large B-cell lymphoma, with a dismal prognosis despite aggressive therapies. New approaches are needed for those with refractory disease. PBL expresses antigens similar to multiple myeloma (MM), including B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy directed against BCMA has shown efficacy for the treatment of heavily pretreated MM with low rates of grades 3 and 4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in a phase Ib/II trial (A Study of JNJ-68284528, a CAR-T Directed Against BCMA in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (CARTITUDE-1), NCT03548207). However, data for the use of BCMA CAR-T for treating PBL are lacking.We report a challenging case of multiple refractory PBL that emerged from B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in an adolescent who failed to respond to an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. The patient developed rapidly advancing disease despite withdrawal of immunosuppression, treatment with etoposide, ibrutinib, and daratumumab, prompting consideration of BCMA CAR-T (under emergency investigational new drug (eIND)). The patient achieved a complete remission (CR), without recurrent acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), CRS or ICANS after BCMA CAR-T therapy. BCMA CAR-T expansion was detected in vivo, peaking on day 15. The patient remains in CR for more than a year post CAR-T therapy, supporting consideration of immunotherapy for future patients with refractory PBL, a disease with few treatment options.

Abstract
PURPOSE CARTITUDE-1, a phase Ib/II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, yielded early, deep, and durable responses at 12 months. Here, we present updated results 2 years after last patient in (median follow-up [MFU] approximately 28 months), including analyses of high-risk patient subgroups. METHODS Eligible patients had relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, had received ≥ 3 prior lines of therapy or were double refractory to a proteasome inhibitor and immunomodulatory drug and had received prior proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, and anti-CD38 therapy. Patients received a single cilta-cel infusion 5-7 days after lymphodepletion. Responses were assessed by an independent review committee. RESULTS At a MFU of 27.7 months (N = 97), the overall response rate was 97.9% (95% CI, 92.7 to 99.7); 82.5% (95% CI, 73.4 to 89.4) of patients achieved a stringent complete response. Median duration of response was not estimable. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached; 27-month PFS and OS rates were 54.9% (95% CI, 44.0 to 64.6) and 70.4% (95% CI, 60.1 to 78.6), respectively. Overall response rates were high across all subgroups (95.1%-100%). Duration of response, PFS, and/or OS were shorter in patients with high-risk cytogenetics, International Staging System stage III, high tumor burden, or plasmacytomas. The safety profile was manageable with no new cilta-cel-related cytokine release syndrome and one new case of parkinsonism (day 914 after cilta-cel) since the last report. CONCLUSION At approximately 28 months MFU, patients treated with cilta-cel maintained deep and durable responses, observed in both standard and high-risk subgroups. The risk/benefit profile of cilta-cel remained favorable with longer follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a novel chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, has demonstrated early, deep, and durable clinical responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in CARTITUDE-1 (NCT03548207). Patient perspectives on treatment provide context to efficacy outcomes and are an important aspect of therapeutic evaluation. METHODS Qualitative interviews were conducted in a subset of CARTITUDE-1 patients (n = 36) at screening, Day 100, and Day 184 post cilta-cel on living with MM, therapy expectations, and treatment experiences during the study. RESULTS Patients most wanted to see change in symptoms with the greatest impact on HRQoL: pain (85.2%) and fatigue (74.1%). The primary treatment expectation was achieving remission (40.7%), followed by extended life expectancy (14.8%). Patients most often defined meaningful change as improvement in symptoms (70.4%) and return to normalcy (40.7%). The percentage of patients reporting symptoms (pain, fatigue, bone fracture, gastrointestinal, neuropathy, and weakness) decreased from 85.2% to 22.2% across symptom types at baseline to 29.2% to 0% on Day 184 after cilta-cel. Improved symptoms and positive sentiments corresponded with improved perception of overall health status and reduced pain level, respectively. Most patients reported that their expectations of cilta-cel treatment had been met (70.8%) or exceeded (20.8%) at Day 184, and 70.8% of patients considered cilta-cel therapy better than their previous treatments. CONCLUSION Overall HRQoL improvements and qualitative interviews showed cilta-cel met patient expectations of treatment and suggest the long treatment-free period also contributed to positive sentiments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies have revolutionized the treatment paradigm for heavily pretreated B-cell malignancies such as large B-cell lymphoma. There is a major unmet need for effective treatments for heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), for which many CAR-T therapies are under active clinical investigation. Goal of the review: This review provides an overview of recently updated clinical trial data and indirect treatment comparison analyses regarding two clinically advanced CAR-T therapies, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel). DISCUSSION Recently presented data after prolonged follow-up periods for ide-cel (KarMMa) and cilta-cel (CARTITUDE-1) have demonstrated that both therapies have the potential to elicit responses in individuals with heavily pretreated RRMM. Indirect treatment comparisons between cilta-cel and ide-cel suggest cilta-cel is associated with deeper and more durable responses than ide-cel in triple class-exposed RRMM; however, these types of comparisons have limitations and direct head-to-head trials are needed to confirm these findings. Additional indirect treatment comparisons conducted separately for ide-cel and cilta-cel have demonstrated that these CAR-T therapies hold promise for substantial clinical benefit relative to currently available treatments for RRMM. Further considerations, including safety profiles and real-world treatment considerations, are also discussed. CONCLUSION Data collected to date support CAR-T therapies holding substantial promise for patients with heavily pretreated RRMM relative to other currently available therapies. Additional real-world data will help provide further insights into the comparative efficacy and safety profiles of these treatments in RRMM as these treatments become more widely available.

Abstract
PURPOSE Selinexor is the first selective inhibitor of nuclear export to be approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Currently, there are no known genomic biomarkers or assays to help select MM patients at higher likelihood of response to selinexor. Here, we aimed to characterize the transcriptomic correlates of response to selinexor-based therapy. METHODS We performed RNA sequencing on CD138+ cells from the bone marrow of 100 patients with MM who participated in the BOSTON study, followed by differential gene expression and pathway analysis. Using the differentially expressed genes, we used cox proportional hazard models to identify a gene signature predictive of response to selinexor, followed by validation in external cohorts. RESULTS The three-gene signature predicts response to selinexor-based therapy in patients with MM in the BOSTON cohort. Then, we validated this gene signature in 64 patients from the STORM cohort of triple-class refractory MM and additionally in an external cohort of 35 patients treated in a real-world setting outside of clinical trials. We found that the signature tracks with both depth and duration of response, and it also validates in a different tumor type using a cohort of pretreatment tumors from patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Furthermore, the genes involved in the signature, WNT10A, DUSP1, and ETV7, reveal a potential mechanism through upregulated interferon-mediated apoptotic signaling that may prime tumors to respond to selinexor-based therapy. CONCLUSION In this study, we present a present a novel, three-gene expression signature that predicts selinexor response in MM. This signature has important clinical relevance as it could identify patients with cancer who are most likely to benefit from treatment with selinexor-based therapy.

Abstract
8028 Background: Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy with 2 B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)–targeting single-domain antibodies, led to early, deep, and durable responses in the phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 study (NCT03548207) in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). At ̃1-year (y) median follow-up (MFU), overall response rate (ORR) was 97%; 67% of pts achieved stringent complete response (sCR). 1-y progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 77% and 89%, respectively (Berdeja 2021). Updated results 2-y post last patient in (LPI) will be presented (̃30-month total MFU). Here, we report CARTITUDE-1 results at 21.7-month MFU. Methods: Eligible pts with RRMM received ≥3 prior lines of therapy (LOT) or were refractory to a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) and had received a PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody. Bridging therapy was permitted after apheresis. Pts received a single cilta-cel infusion (target dose 0.75×106 CAR+ viable T cells/kg) 5–7 days after lymphodepletion. Primary objectives were to evaluate cilta-cel safety and efficacy. Response was assessed per International Myeloma Working Group criteria by independent review committee and minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity at 10-5 by next-generation sequencing. Results: As of July 22, 2021, 97 pts (59% male; median age 61 y) received cilta-cel. Pts had a median of 6 (range 3–18) prior LOT; 84% were penta-drug exposed, 88% were triple-class refractory, 42% were penta-drug refractory, and 99% were refractory to last LOT. ORR was 97.9% (95% CI 92.7–99.7), 94.9% achieved very good partial response, and 82.5% achieved sCR. Median times to first response, best response, and ≥CR were 1.0, 2.6, and 2.9 months (m), respectively; median duration of response was not reached (NR). Of 61 pts evaluable for MRD, 92% were MRD negative (10-5), sustained for ≥6 m in 44% (27/61) and ≥12 m in 18% (11/61). 2-y PFS was 60.5% (95% CI 48.5–70.4). Median PFS and OS were NR. 2-y PFS rates in pts with sustained MRD negativity for ≥6 m and ≥12 m were 91% and 100%, respectively. There were no new safety signals or new events of CAR-T cell neurotoxicity, movement and neurocognitive treatment-emergent adverse events, or treatment-related deaths since 1-y MFU. 15 second primary malignancies were reported in 11 pts over ̃2-y MFU. Conclusions: At ̃2-y MFU, a single cilta-cel infusion led to deepening and durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with RRMM with a manageable safety profile. Follow-up is ongoing, and landmark 2-y post LPI data (̃8 m additional follow-up; ̃30 m total MFU) will be presented. Further investigations of cilta-cel are ongoing in earlier LOT and outpatient settings across the CARTITUDE program (NCT04133636, NCT04181827, NCT04923893). Clinical trial information: NCT03548207.

Abstract
Rationale: GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) has emerged as a promising target against the hyperactive host immune response associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Objectives: We sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of gimsilumab, an anti-GM-CSF monoclonal antibody, for the treatment of hospitalized patients with elevated inflammatory markers and hypoxemia secondary to COVID-19. Methods: We conducted a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, BREATHE (Better Respiratory Education and Treatment Help Empower), at 21 locations in the United States. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive two doses of intravenous gimsilumab or placebo 1 week apart. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality rate at Day 43. Key secondary outcomes were ventilator-free survival rate, ventilator-free days, and time to hospital discharge. Enrollment was halted early for futility based on an interim analysis. Measurements and Main Results: Of the planned 270 patients, 225 were randomized and dosed; 44.9% of patients were Hispanic or Latino. The gimsilumab and placebo groups experienced an all-cause mortality rate at Day 43 of 28.3% and 23.2%, respectively (adjusted difference = 5% vs. placebo; 95% confidence interval [-6 to 17]; P = 0.377). Overall mortality rates at 24 weeks were similar across the treatment arms. The key secondary endpoints demonstrated no significant differences between groups. Despite the high background use of corticosteroids and anticoagulants, adverse events were generally balanced between treatment groups. Conclusions: Gimsilumab did not improve mortality or other key clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and evidence of systemic inflammation. The utility of anti-GM-CSF therapy for COVID-19 remains unclear. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04351243).

Abstract
Hintergrund: Über das Risiko einer Virusinfektion mit dem schweren akuten Atemwegssyndrom Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) bei Krebspatienten, von denen viele immungeschwächt und damit anfälliger für eine Vielzahl von Infektionen sind, ist sehr wenig bekannt. Als Vorsichtsmaßnahme haben viele klinische Studien während der ersten Welle der weltweiten Pandemie des neuartigen Coronavirus (COVID-19) die Aufnahme von Patienten pausiert. In diesem Fallbericht beschreiben wir die erfolgreiche Behandlung eines Patienten mit rezidiviertem und refraktärem Multiplem Myelom (MM), der unmittelbar nach der klinischen Genesung von COVID-19 mit einer chimären Antigenrezeptor (CAR)-T-Zelltherapie mit Anti-B-Zellreifungsantigen (BCMA) behandelt wurde. Fallvorstellung: Der 57-jährige weiße männliche Patient war seit 4 Jahren an MM erkrankt und galt bei der Vorstellung zur CAR-T-Zelltherapie als pentarefraktär. Er hatte eine Immunsuppression in seiner medizinischen Vorgeschichte und er erhielt am Tag vor der COVID-19-Diagnose eine Dosis lymphdepletierender Chemotherapie (LDC). Dieser Patient konnte eine erhebliche Immunantwort gegen das SARS-CoV-2-Virus aufbauen, und antivirale Antikörper bleiben auch 2 Monate nach Erhalt einer Anti-BCMA-CAR-T-Zelltherapie noch nachweisbar. Die kürzliche SARS-CoV-2-Infektion bei diesem Patienten führte nicht zu einer Exazerbation des CAR-T-assoziierten Zytokin-Freisetzungssyndroms (CRS) und umgekehrt führte die CAR-T-Zelltherapie nicht zu Komplikationen im Zusammenhang mit COVID-19. Einen Monat nach der CAR-T-Zell-Infusion wurde bei dem Patienten ein unbestätigtes partielles Ansprechen nach den Kriterien der International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) festgestellt. Schlussfolgerung: Unser Fall liefert einen wichtigen Kontext für die Wahl der Behandlung von MM-Patienten in Zeiten von COVID-19 sowie für die Frage, ob die CAR-T-Therapie auch bei Patienten verabreicht werden kann, die von COVID-19 genesen sind. Da die COVID-19-Pandemie weltweit anhält, ist eine umfangreiche Diskussion über die Entscheidung, ob mit der CAR-T-Zelltherapie fortgefahren werden soll, erforderlich, wobei die potenziellen Risiken und Vorteile der Therapie gegeneinander abgewogen werden müssen. Dieser Fall legt nahe, dass es möglich ist, die Anti-BCMA-CAR-T-Zelltherapie nach der Genesung von COVID-19 erfolgreich abzuschließen. Die Studie CRB-402 wurde am 6. September 2017 bei clinicaltrials.gov registriert (NCT03274219).

Abstract
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a prominent tumor-associated target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we describe the case of a patient with MM who was enrolled in the CARTITUDE-1 trial ( NCT03548207 ) and who developed a progressive movement disorder with features of parkinsonism approximately 3 months after ciltacabtagene autoleucel BCMA-targeted CAR-T cell infusion, associated with CAR-T cell persistence in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and basal ganglia lymphocytic infiltration. We show BCMA expression on neurons and astrocytes in the patient's basal ganglia. Public transcriptomic datasets further confirm BCMA RNA expression in the caudate of normal human brains, suggesting that this might be an on-target effect of anti-BCMA therapy. Given reports of three patients with grade 3 or higher parkinsonism on the phase 2 ciltacabtagene autoleucel trial and of grade 3 parkinsonism in the idecabtagene vicleucel package insert, our findings support close neurological monitoring of patients on BCMA-targeted T cell therapies.

Abstract
The remarkable genetic heterogeneity of multiple myeloma poses a substantial challenge for proper prognostication and clinical management of patients. Here, we introduce MM-PSN, the first multiomics patient similarity network of myeloma. MM-PSN enabled accurate dissection of the genetic and molecular landscape of the disease and determined 12 distinct subgroups defined by five data types generated from genomic and transcriptomic profiling of 655 patients. MM-PSN identified patient subgroups not previously described defined by specific patterns of alterations, enriched for specific gene vulnerabilities, and associated with potential therapeutic options. Our analysis revealed that co-occurrence of t(4;14) and 1q gain identified patients at significantly higher risk of relapse and shorter survival as compared to t(4;14) as a single lesion. Furthermore, our results show that 1q gain is the most important single lesion conferring high risk of relapse and that it can improve on the current International Staging Systems (ISS and R-ISS).

Abstract
Despite many recent advances in therapy, there is still no plateau in overall survival curves in multiple myeloma. Bispecific antibodies are a novel immunotherapeutic approach designed to bind antigens on malignant plasma cells and cytotoxic immune effector cells. Early-phase clinical trials targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), GPRC5D, and FcRH5 have demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with mainly low-grade cytokine release syndrome, cytopenias, and infections. Although dose escalation is ongoing in several studies, early efficacy data show response rates in the most active dose cohorts between 61% and 83% with many deep responses; however, durability remains to be established. Further clinical trial data are eagerly anticipated. SIGNIFICANCE Overall survival of triple-class refractory multiple myeloma remains poor. Bispecific antibodies are a novel immunotherapeutic modality with a favorable safety profile and impressive preliminary efficacy in heavily treated patients. Although more data are needed, bispecifics will likely become an integral part of the multiple myeloma treatment paradigm in the near future. Studies in earlier lines of therapy and in combination with other active anti-multiple myeloma agents will help further define the role of bispecifics in multiple myeloma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CARTITUDE-1 aimed to assess the safety and clinical activity of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy with two B-cell maturation antigen-targeting single-domain antibodies, in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma with poor prognosis. METHODS This single-arm, open-label, phase 1b/2 study done at 16 centres in the USA enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1, who received 3 or more previous lines of therapy or were double-refractory to a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug, and had received a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, and anti-CD38 antibody. A single cilta-cel infusion (target dose 0·75 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg) was administered 5-7 days after start of lymphodepletion. The primary endpoints were safety and confirmation of the recommended phase 2 dose (phase 1b), and overall response rate (phase 2) in all patients who received treatment. Key secondary endpoints were duration of response and progression-free survival. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03548207. FINDINGS Between July 16, 2018, and Oct 7, 2019, 113 patients were enrolled. 97 patients (29 in phase 1b and 68 in phase 2) received a cilta-cel infusion at the recommended phase 2 dose of 0·75 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg. As of the Sept 1, 2020 clinical cutoff, median follow-up was 12·4 months (IQR 10·6-15·2). 97 patients with a median of six previous therapies received cilta-cel. Overall response rate was 97% (95% CI 91·2-99·4; 94 of 97 patients); 65 (67%) achieved stringent complete response; time to first response was 1 month (IQR 0·9-1·0). Responses deepened over time. Median duration of response was not reached (95% CI 15·9-not estimable), neither was progression-free survival (16·8-not estimable). The 12-month progression-free rate was 77% (95% CI 66·0-84·3) and overall survival rate was 89% (80·2-93·5). Haematological adverse events were common; grade 3-4 haematological adverse events were neutropenia (92 [95%] of 97 patients), anaemia (66 [68%]), leukopenia (59 [61%]), thrombocytopenia (58 [60%]), and lymphopenia (48 [50%]). Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 92 (95%) of 97 patients (4% were grade 3 or 4); with median time to onset of 7·0 days (IQR 5-8) and median duration of 4·0 days (IQR 3-6). Cytokine release syndrome resolved in all except one with grade 5 cytokine release syndrome and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. CAR T-cell neurotoxicity occurred in 20 (21%) patients (9% were grade 3 or 4). 14 deaths occurred in the study; six due to treatment-related adverse events, five due to progressive disease, and three due to treatment-unrelated adverse events. INTERPRETATION A single cilta-cel infusion at the target dose of 0·75 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg led to early, deep, and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with multiple myeloma with a manageable safety profile. The data from this study formed the basis for recent regulatory submissions. FUNDING Janssen Research & Development and Legend Biotech.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supportive care improves outcomes in many cancers. In the pivotal STORM study selinexor, a first-in-class, oral, selective exportin 1 inhibitor, and low-dose dexamethasone proved to be an effective treatment for patients with triple-class refractory myeloma. We conducted a post-hoc analysis to test the hypothesis that increased utilization of supportive care measures in a sub-cohort of the STORM study prolonged treatment duration with- and improved efficacy of- selinexor. MATERIALS AND METHODS The STORM protocol included specific recommendations for dose modifications and supportive care to mitigate selinexor most common adverse events (AEs) including nausea, fatigue, and thrombocytopenia. The Tisch Cancer Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) incorporated additional supportive care strategies within the framework of the STORM protocol. RESULTS Of 123 patients enrolled in STORM, 28 were enrolled at MSSM. The overall response rate was 26.2% in the overall STORM population and 53.6% in the MSSM cohort. Moreover, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival were longer in the MSSM cohort. AEs and dose modification events were similar in the 2 groups. The MSSM cohort had more dose reductions (67.9% vs. 50.5%), and higher use of multiple antiemetic agents (71.4% vs. 50.1%) and romiplostim (32.1% vs. 6.3%), but less discontinuations due to treatment-related AEs (3.6% vs. 25.3%). CONCLUSION These results suggests that in addition to more frequent dose reductions, prompter and more aggressive supportive care may have contributed to the low discontinuation rate, longer duration therapy, and greater efficacy rates observed in the MSSM cohort.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown familial aggregations of multiple myeloma (MM) and other hematologic malignancies, but little is known about heritable genetic susceptibilities in these patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of known germline cancer-predisposing mutations (CPM) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: We analyzed a set of 895 newly diagnosed MM patients from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) CoMMpass registry for whom whole-exome sequencing of germline DNA data was available. We used the clinical annotation pipeline from Sema4, a CLIA- and CAP-certified genetic testing laboratory, in a research context, to identify patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic CPM according to ACMG variant classification guidelines, and compared their characteristics against those without CPM. Statistical significance was assessed using the Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests and defined as a two-sided p value <0.05.
Results: We identified 83 germline CPM in 31 distinct genes in 79 (8.8%) of 895 patients. Homologous recombination (HR) pathway gene mutations were the most common (n = 38, 46%), with CHEK2 being the most frequently mutated gene (n = 10, 12%). Notably, the number of mismatch repair (MMR) gene defects was considerably higher (n = 6, 1:149) than the estimated prevalence in the general population. CPM carriers were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with MM before age 40 (6.3% vs 1.8%, p = 0.025) and to have a family history (FH) of MM or leukemia (16.4% vs 6.3%, p = 0.01) than those without a CPM. Likelihood of having a FH of any malignancy was also significantly higher in the CPM group (70.9% vs 54.5%, p = 0.028). Interestingly, common CHEK2 founder mutations were observed at a much higher rate in patients with a FH of MM or leukemia (8.7% vs 0.68%, p = 0.0013).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that a significant proportion of patients with MM carry germline cancer-predisposing mutations, especially those diagnosed at a very young age (<40 years old), and those with a family history of MM or leukemia. The observation that 6 out of 895 patients with MM had pathogenic MMR variants suggests that MM may be a previously unsuspected component of Lynch syndrome. Common CHEK2 founder mutations were strikingly frequent in patients with a FH of MM, suggesting that FH modifies the penetrance of these variants in MM predisposition, as has been observed for other cancers.

Abstract
8028 Background: Cilta-cel (JNJ-68284528) is a chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T)-cell therapy with 2 BCMA-targeting, single-domain antibodies designed to confer high avidity binding. CARTITUDE-2 (NCT04133636) is a phase 2, multicohort, open-label study assessing the efficacy and safety of cilta-cel in patients (pts) with MM in various clinical settings. Here, we describe the mitigation and management strategies implemented to identify and reduce the risk for neurologic adverse events (AEs) in Cohort A pts (progressive MM after 1−3 prior lines of therapy). Methods: Eligible pts (≥18 years of age) had MM per IMWG criteria, measurable disease, ECOG ≤1, progressive disease after 1−3 prior lines of therapy (including a PI and IMiD) and were lenalidomide refractory (no prior BCMA-targeting agent). Cilta-cel (0.75×106 [range 0.5–1.0×106] CAR+ viable T cells/kg) was given as a single infusion 5–7 days after start of lymphodepletion (cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 + fludarabine 30 mg/m2 daily for 3 days). Monitoring and mitigation strategies for neurologic AEs include providing more effective bridging therapy to reduce tumor burden prior to lymphodepletion, frequent assessment of CAR-T-related ICANS using the ICE tool, regular handwriting assessments to detect micrographia, and neuroimaging (brain MRI) and EEG for pts with prior neurologic disease. Management strategies include evaluating infectious and paraneoplastic etiologies upon observation of ICANS ≥Grade (gr) 1, administration of tocilizumab (if concurrent CRS, all gr of ICANS) and/or dexamethasone (gr 2/3) or methylprednisolone (gr 4). ICANS and CRS were graded by ASTCT criteria; neurotoxicities not classified as ICANS were graded per CTCAE Version 5.0. Results: As of 15 Jan 2021 (median follow-up: 5.8 months [range: 2.5–9.8 months]), 20 pts in Cohort A received cilta-cel. Median age was 60 years (range: 38–75); 65% were male. Neurotoxicities occurred in 4 pts (20%). Three pts had ICANS (gr 1/2); median time to onset of symptoms was 8 days (range: 7–11) and median duration was 2 days (range: 1–2). Two of the 3 pts received supportive measures to treat ICANS, including levetiracetam and steroids; all 3 had concurrent CRS and all recovered. One pt developed isolated facial paralysis (gr 2) on Day 29 after cilta-cel infusion, and recovered 51 days after the onset of event following treatment with dexamethasone for 28 days. No movement or neurocognitive disorders were reported. Conclusions: Neurologic AEs were generally manageable in pts with MM following treatment with cilta-cel. With a median of 5.8 months of follow-up, there were no movement or neurocognitive disorders in pts from Cohort A. These results suggest that early detection and management of neurologic AEs can lead to better treatment outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT04133636.

Abstract
8005 Background: CARTITUDE-1 (NCT03548207) is a phase 1b/2 study evaluating ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; JNJ-68284528), a CAR T-cell therapy with two BCMA–targeting single-domain antibodies, in patients (pts) with R/R MM. Here, we report updated results in pts with a longer duration (median 12.4 months) of follow-up. Methods: Eligible pts had MM and received ≥3 prior regimens or were double refractory to a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and had received a PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody. After apheresis, bridging therapy was permitted. Pts received a single cilta-cel infusion (target dose: 0.75×106 CAR+ viable T cells/kg; range 0.5-1.0×106) 5–7 days (d) after lymphodepletion (300 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide, 30 mg/m2 fludarabine daily for 3 d). The primary objectives were to characterize cilta-cel safety, confirm the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D; phase 1b), and evaluate efficacy (phase 2). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was graded by Lee et al (Blood 2014) and neurotoxicity by CTCAE, v5.0 (in phase 1b). CRS and ICANS were graded by ASTCT criteria (in phase 2). Here, Lee et al and CTCAE v5.0 were mapped to ASTCT for CRS and ICANS, respectively. Results: As of Sept 1, 2020, 97 pts with a median of 6 prior lines received cilta-cel. Overall response rate per independent review committee (primary endpoint) was 97% (95% CI, 91–99), with 67% achieving stringent complete response (sCR). Median time to first response was 1 month (range, 1–9), and median time to CR or better was 2 months (range, 1–15). Responses deepened over time, and median duration of response was not reached. Of 57 pts evaluable for minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, 93% were MRD-negative at 10-5. The 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival rates (95% CI) were 77% (66–84) and 89% (80–94), respectively; median PFS was not reached. Grade 3/4 hematologic AEs ≥20% included neutropenia (95%), anemia (68%), leukopenia (61%), thrombocytopenia (60%), and lymphopenia (50%). CRS occurred in 95% of pts (4% grade 3/4), with median time to onset of 7 d (range, 1–12), and median duration of 4 d (range, 1–14, excluding 1 pt with 97-d duration). CRS resolved in all but one with grade 5 CRS/haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. CAR T-cell neurotoxicity occurred in 21% of pts (grade ≥3, 10%). Fourteen deaths occurred during the study after cilta-cel infusion: none within the first 30 days, 2 within 100 days; and 12 more than 100 days post infusion, of which 5 were due to disease progression, and 4 due to treatment-related AEs. Conclusions: A single infusion of cilta-cel yielded early, deep, and durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with MM, with a manageable safety profile at the RP2D. Cilta-cel is under further investigation in other MM populations in earlier lines of therapy and in outpatient settings. Clinical trial information: NCT03548207.

Abstract
8013 Background: Cilta-cel is a CAR T-cell therapy expressing two BCMA-targeting, single-domain antibodies designed to confer avidity. The multicohort, phase 2 CARTITUDE-2 study (NCT04133636) is evaluating cilta-cel safety and efficacy in various clinical settings for patients (pts) with MM and exploring suitability of outpatient administration. Here, we present initial results from Cohort A. Methods: Cohort A pts had progressive MM after 1–3 prior lines of therapy (LOT), including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), were lenalidomide refractory, and had no prior exposure to BCMA-targeting agents. A single cilta-cel infusion (target dose: 0.75×106 CAR+ viable T cells/kg) was given 5–7 days (d) after start of lymphodepletion (daily cyclophosphamide [300 mg/m2] and fludarabine [30 mg/m2] for 3 d). The primary objective was minimal residual disease (MRD) 10-5 negativity. Secondary outcomes were response rates (IMWG) and safety (per CTCAE; CRS and ICANS by ASTCT). Results: As of Feb 2021 data cutoff (median follow-up: 5.8 months [mo]; range: 2.5–9.8 mos), 20 pts (65% male; median age 60 years [38–75]) received cilta-cel; 1 pt was treated in an outpatient setting. Pts received a median of 2 prior LOT (1–3); 12 pts received < 3 prior lines and 8 received 3 prior LOT. All pts were exposed to PI, IMiD, and dexamethasone, 95% to alkylating agents, and 65% to daratumumab. The majority (95%) were refractory to the last LOT; 40% were triple refractory. Overall response rate was 95% (95% CI: 75–100), 75% (95% CI: 51–91) achieved stringent CR/CR, and 85% (95% CI: 62–97) achieved ≥VGPR. Median time to first response was 1.0 mo (0.7–3.3); median time to best response was 1.9 mo (0.9–5.1). Median duration of response was not reached. All pts (n = 4) with MRD-evaluable samples at 10-5 at data cutoff were MRD-negative. Hematologic AEs ≥20% were neutropenia (95%; gr 3/4: 90%), thrombocytopenia (80%; gr 3/4: 35%), anemia (65%; gr 3/4: 40%), lymphopenia (60%; gr 3/4: 55%), and leukopenia (55%; all gr 3/4). CRS occurred in 85% of pts; 10% were gr 3/4. Median time to CRS onset was 7 d (5–9), with a median duration of 3.5 d (2–11). CAR T-cell neurotoxicity occurred in 20% of pts (all gr 1/2). Three pts had ICANS (1 gr 1; 2 gr 2); median time to onset was 8 d (7–11) and median duration was 2 d (1–2). One pt had gr 2 facial paralysis; time to onset was 29 d with a duration of 51 d. One death occurred due to COVID-19 (assessed as treatment (tx)-related by investigator). Safety profile was manageable in the pt treated in an outpatient setting. Conclusions: A single cilta-cel infusion at the recommended phase 2 dose led to early and deep responses with a manageable safety profile in pts with MM who had 1–3 prior LOT. Updated efficacy and safety findings will inform suitability of outpatient tx in this and other cohorts of CARTITUDE-2 as well as the CARTITUDE-4 study. Clinical trial information: NCT04133636.

Abstract
Background Isatuximab (Isa), an anti‐CD38 monoclonal antibody, and carfilzomib (K), a next‐generation proteasome inhibitor (PI), both have potent single‐agent activity in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Methods This phase 1b study evaluated the combination of Isa and K in 33 patients with RRMM. Isa was administered by intravenous infusion in 3 dosing cohorts: dose level 1 (Isa at 10 mg/kg biweekly), dose level 2 (DL2; Isa at 10 mg/kg weekly for 4 doses and then biweekly), and dose level 3 (Isa at 20 mg/kg weekly for 4 doses and then biweekly) and all patients received K (20 mg/m2 intravenously for cycle 1, days 1 and 2, and then 27 mg/m2 for all subsequent doses). A standard 3+3 dose‐escalation design was used, no dose‐limiting toxicity was observed, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. An expansion cohort of 18 patients was enrolled at DL2 to further evaluate safety and efficacy. Responses were assessed with the International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, and patients continued treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results With a median follow‐up of 26.7 months, in this heavily pretreated population with a median of 3 prior lines (refractory to PIs and immunomodulatory drugs, 76%; refractory to K, 27%), the overall response rate was 70% (stringent complete response/complete response, 4; very good partial response, 8; partial response, 11). The median progression‐free survival was 10.1 months, and the 2‐year survival probability was 76%. The most common treatment‐related adverse events (grade 2 or higher) were anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, and infection. Infusion reactions were common (55%) but did not limit dosing. Conclusions Treatment with Isa plus K was well tolerated with no unexpected toxicity. The combination was effective despite the enrollment of heavily pretreated patients with RRMM. Lay Summary This phase 1b study was designed to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of isatuximab and carfilzomib in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Thirty‐three patients were treated: 15 in dose escalation and 18 in dose expansion. Patients received an average of 10 cycles. The treatment was safe and effective. No unexpected toxicity or drug‐drug interactions were noted. Seventy percent of the subjects responded to therapy, and the progression‐free survival was 10.1 months.
The combination of isatuximab and carfilzomib is safe with low levels of grade 3/4 hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities and no unexpected drug‐drug interactions. This treatment combination appears effective with an overall response rate of 70% and progression‐free survival of 10.1 months in patients with highly refractory multiple myeloma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, also called bb2121), a B-cell maturation antigen-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, has shown clinical activity with expected CAR T-cell toxic effects in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. METHODS In this phase 2 study, we sought to confirm the efficacy and safety of ide-cel in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma. Patients with disease after at least three previous regimens including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody were enrolled. Patients received ide-cel target doses of 150 × 106 to 450 × 106 CAR-positive (CAR+) T cells. The primary end point was an overall response (partial response or better); a key secondary end point was a complete response or better (comprising complete and stringent complete responses). RESULTS Of 140 patients enrolled, 128 received ide-cel. At a median follow-up of 13.3 months, 94 of 128 patients (73%) had a response, and 42 of 128 (33%) had a complete response or better. Minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative status (<10-5 nucleated cells) was confirmed in 33 patients, representing 26% of all 128 patients who were treated and 79% of the 42 patients who had a complete response or better. The median progression-free survival was 8.8 months (95% confidence interval, 5.6 to 11.6). Common toxic effects among the 128 treated patients included neutropenia in 117 patients (91%), anemia in 89 (70%), and thrombocytopenia in 81 (63%). Cytokine release syndrome was reported in 107 patients (84%), including 7 (5%) who had events of grade 3 or higher. Neurotoxic effects developed in 23 patients (18%) and were of grade 3 in 4 patients (3%); no neurotoxic effects higher than grade 3 occurred. Cellular kinetic analysis confirmed CAR+ T cells in 29 of 49 patients (59%) at 6 months and 4 of 11 patients (36%) at 12 months after infusion. CONCLUSIONS Ide-cel induced responses in a majority of heavily pretreated patients with refractory and relapsed myeloma; MRD-negative status was achieved in 26% of treated patients. Almost all patients had grade 3 or 4 toxic effects, most commonly hematologic toxic effects and cytokine release syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Very little is known about the risk that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral infection poses to cancer patients, many of whom are immune compromised causing them to be more susceptible to a host of infections. As a precautionary measure, many clinical studies halted enrollment during the initial surge of the global Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In this case report, we detail the successful treatment of a relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patient treated with an anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy immediately following clinical recovery from COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION The 57 year old Caucasian male patient had a 4-year history of MM and was considered penta-refractory upon presentation for CAR T cell therapy. He had a history of immunosuppression and received one dose of lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LDC) the day prior to COVID-19 diagnosis; this patient was able to mount a substantial immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and antiviral antibodies remain detectable 2 months after receiving anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy. The recent SARS-CoV-2 infection in this patient did not exacerbate CAR T-associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and conversely the CAR T cell therapy did not result in COVID-19-related complications. One month after CAR T cell infusion, the patient was assessed to have an unconfirmed partial response per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. CONCLUSION Our case adds important context around treatment choice for MM patients in the era of COVID-19 and whether CAR T therapy can be administered to patients who have recovered from COVID-19. As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, the decision of whether to proceed with CAR T cell therapy will require extensive discussion weighing the potential risks and benefits of therapy. This case suggests that it is possible to successfully complete anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy after recovery from COVID-19. CRB-402 study registered 6 September 2017 at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03274219).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite many recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Prior studies have shown mixed results using intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to prevent infections in MM and were conducted prior to most modern MM therapies. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients with MM treated with IVIG at our institution from 2010 to 2017. The primary endpoint was the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of infectious events (IEs) per patient-year during IVIG versus observation. RESULTS A total of 68 patients were included; 151 IEs occurred during 918 months of IVIG treatment, whereas 446 IEs occurred during 2484 months of observation. Although the annual rate of IEs was substantially higher during periods of progressive disease (PD) compared with non-PD (4.9 vs. 1.8; P < .001), most IEs occurred during periods of non-PD (75% vs. 25% during PD). There was no overall difference in the annual rate of IEs per patient between IVIG and observation (1.97 vs. 2.16; IRR, 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-1.10; P = .376). The subgroup of patients with hypogammaglobulinemia and whose myeloma was in a non-PD phase had a significant reduction in all-grade IEs (1.20 vs. 1.92; IRR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.45-0.88; P = .009) and ≥ grade 3 IEs (0.25 vs. 0.56; IRR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.22-0.94; P = .041) with IVIG compared with observation. CONCLUSION Although treatment with IVIG did not show benefit in the overall population, there may be subgroups of patients that derive significant benefit. Additional observational studies are needed to confirm these findings and further refine patient selection.

Abstract
Aim: To estimate treatment patterns and healthcare costs among triple-class exposed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. Materials & methods: Eligible patients had ≥1 line of therapy (LOT) each of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and daratumumab in December 2015-September 2018 and received a new LOT. Results: A total of 154 patients were included with a median follow-up of 6.2 months. Median time from diagnosis to new LOT was 41.0 months. Kaplan-Meier estimate of median time to therapy discontinuation was 4.2 months. Mean per-patient, per-month MM-related costs were USD 35,657. Most frequently observed regimens were lenalidomide or pomalidomide + daratumumab (18.2%), lenalidomide or pomalidomide + proteasome inhibitors (15.6%) and lenalidomide or pomalidomide monotherapy (11.0%). Conclusion: Triple-class exposed RRMM patients receive heterogeneous treatments for a short duration with high healthcare resource utilization and costs.

Abstract
Outcomes of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who become refractory to standard therapies are particularly poor and novel agents are greatly needed to improve outcomes in such patients. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has become an important therapeutic target in MM with three modalities of treatment in development including antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific T-cell engagers (BITEs), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Early clinical trials of anti-BCMA immunotherapeutics have demonstrated extremely promising results in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM). Recently, belantamab mafodotin was the first anti-BCMA therapy to obtain approval in relapsed/refractory MM. This review summarizes the most updated efficacy and safety data from clinical studies of BCMA-targeted therapies with a focus on ADCs and BITEs. Additionally, important differences among the BCMA-targeted treatment modalities and their clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract
Daratumumab, a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody that targets CD38, is currently approved as monotherapy and in varying combinations with approved anti-myeloma regimens in both newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and relapsed refractory multiple myeloma. Originally developed for intravenous administration, the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) was recently approved by the US Federal Drug Administration and European Commission in 2020. In clinical trials, compared with the intravenous formulation, subcutaneous daratumumab (Dara-SC) has significantly shorter administration time (median first dose 7 h versus 3–5 min, respectively), lower rates of infusion-related reactions (median first dose 50% versus less than 10%, respectively), and lower volume of infusion (median 500–1000 ml versus 15 ml, respectively). Otherwise, the pharmacokinetics, safety profile, and efficacy are comparable. This review summarizes the pivotal trials that led to the approval of Dara-SC, highlights important clinical considerations for the use of Dara-SC, and provides practical guidelines for the administration of Dara-SC in the clinic.

Abstract
Introduction: Novel, effective regimens are needed in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma (RRMM) who inevitably relapse after PI and IMID containing treatment. Areas covered: Pre-clinical data, early clinical and pivotal trials relevant to the development of the two backbone drugs of carfilzomib and daratumumab, and the two important recent trials, EQUULEUS and CANDOR leading to the FDA approval of the combination regimen of daratumumab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (DKd) for RRMM are detailed in this review. Expert opinion: EQUULEUS and CANDOR have established the efficacy of the DKd regimen in the landscape of bortezomib and lenalidomide refractory patients. The split dosing schedule of the first dose of daratumumab was approved by the FDA based on EQUULEUS, significantly improving patient convenience. Subcutaneous daratumumab is being evaluated in this combination to further improve tolerance and convenience. Further studies are needed to evaluate and optimally sequence the many effective and potent drugs available in RRMM.

Abstract
Patients with multiple myeloma have a compromised immune system, due to both the disease and antimyeloma therapies, and may therefore be particularly susceptible to COVID-19. Here, we report outcomes and risk factors for serious disease in patients with multiple myeloma treated at five large academic centers in New York City in the spring of 2020, during which it was a global epicenter of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Of 100 patients with multiple myeloma (male 58%; median age 68) diagnosed with COVID-19, 75 were admitted; of these, 13 patients (17%) were placed on invasive mechanical ventilation, and 22 patients (29%) expired. Of the 25 nonadmitted patients, 4 were asymptomatic. There was a higher risk of adverse outcome (intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, or death) in Hispanics/Latinos (n = 21), OR = 4.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.3-16.7), and African American Blacks (n = 33), OR = 3.5 (1.1-11.5), as compared with White patients (n = 36). Patients who met the adverse combined endpoint had overall higher levels of inflammatory markers and cytokine activation. None of the other studied risk factors were significantly associated (P > 0.05) with adverse outcome: hypertension (n = 56), OR = 2.2 (0.9-5.4); diabetes (n = 18), OR = 0.9 (0.3-2.9); age >65 years (n = 63), OR = 1.8 (0.7-4.6); high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell transplant <12 months (n = 7), OR = 0.9 (0.2-5.4); and immunoglobulin G <650 mg/dL (n = 42), OR = 0.9 (0.3-2.2). In this largest cohort to date of patients with multiple myeloma and COVID-19, we found the case fatality rate to be 29% among hospitalized patients and that race/ethnicity was the most significant risk factor for adverse outcome. Significance Patients with multiple myeloma are immunocompromised, raising the question whether they are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease. In this large case series on COVID-19 in patients with multiple myeloma, we report 29% mortality rates among hospitalized patients and identify race/ethnicity as the most significant risk factor for severe outcome.See related commentary by Munshi and Anderson, p. 218.

Abstract
Several studies have revealed that the hyper-inflammatory response induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major cause of disease severity and death. However, predictive biomarkers of pathogenic inflammation to help guide targetable immune pathways are critically lacking. We implemented a rapid multiplex cytokine assay to measure serum interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-1β in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upon admission to the Mount Sinai Health System in New York. Patients (n = 1,484) were followed up to 41 d after admission (median, 8 d), and clinical information, laboratory test results and patient outcomes were collected. We found that high serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels at the time of hospitalization were strong and independent predictors of patient survival (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0205 and P = 0.0140, respectively). Notably, when adjusting for disease severity, common laboratory inflammation markers, hypoxia and other vitals, demographics, and a range of comorbidities, IL-6 and TNF-α serum levels remained independent and significant predictors of disease severity and death. These findings were validated in a second cohort of patients (n = 231). We propose that serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels should be considered in the management and treatment of patients with COVID-19 to stratify prospective clinical trials, guide resource allocation and inform therapeutic options.

Abstract
Several studies have revealed that the hyper-inflammatory response induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major cause of disease severity and death. However, predictive biomarkers of pathogenic inflammation to help guide targetable immune pathways are critically lacking. We implemented a rapid multiplex cytokine assay to measure serum interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-1β in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upon admission to the Mount Sinai Health System in New York. Patients (n = 1,484) were followed up to 41 d after admission (median, 8 d), and clinical information, laboratory test results and patient outcomes were collected. We found that high serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels at the time of hospitalization were strong and independent predictors of patient survival (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0205 and P = 0.0140, respectively). Notably, when adjusting for disease severity, common laboratory inflammation markers, hypoxia and other vitals, demographics, and a range of comorbidities, IL-6 and TNF-α serum levels remained independent and significant predictors of disease severity and death. These findings were validated in a second cohort of patients (n = 231). We propose that serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels should be considered in the management and treatment of patients with COVID-19 to stratify prospective clinical trials, guide resource allocation and inform therapeutic options.

Abstract
Context: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has resulted in over 100,000 deaths in the United States. Our institution has treated over 2,000 COVID-19 patients during the pandemic in New York City. Objective: We explored the population of myeloma patients who developed COVID-19 to identify risk factors tied to poor outcomes. Design: We performed a retrospective study of a cohort of 58 patients with a plasma cell disorder (54 MM, 4 smoldering MM) who developed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020 and April 30, 2020. We report epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics, including persistence of viral detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing, treatments initiated, and outcomes. Setting: A large tertiary care cancer center in New York at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA. Patients: Patient charts were analyzed retrospectively. Patients had MM or SMM and COVID-19. Results: Of the 58 patients diagnosed with COVID-19, 36 were hospitalized and 22 were managed at home. The median age was 67 years; 52% of patients were male, and 63% were non-white. Hypertension (64%), hyperlipidemia (62%), obesity (37%), diabetes mellitus (28%), chronic kidney disease (CKD, 24%), and lung disease (21%) were the most common comorbidities. In the total cohort, 14 patients (24%) died. Older age (>70 years), male sex, and cardiovascular risk were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with hospitalization. Among hospitalized patients, laboratory findings demonstrated elevation of traditional inflammatory markers (CRP, ferritin, D-dimer) and a significant (p < 0.05) association between elevated inflammatory markers, severe hypogammaglobulinemia, non-white race, and mortality. Ninety-six percent (22/23) of patients developed antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 at a median of 32 days after initial diagnosis. Median time to PCR negativity was 43 (range 19–68) days from initial positive PCR. Conclusions: Drug exposure and MM disease status at the time of contracting COVID-19 had no bearing on patient outcome. Mounting a severe inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 and severe hypogammaglobulinemia were associated with higher mortality. These findings pave a path to the identification of vulnerable patients who need early intervention to improve outcomes of myeloma patients in future outbreaks of COVID-19. The majority of myeloma patients mounted a specific antibody response to SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Importance New York City is a global epicenter for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak with a significant number of individuals infected by the virus. Patients with multiple myeloma have a compromised immune system, due to both the disease and anti-myeloma therapies, and may therefore be particularly susceptible to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, there is limited information to guide clinical management. Objective To assess risk factors and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with multiple myeloma. Design Case-series. Setting Five large academic centers in New York City. Participants Patients with multiple myeloma and related plasma cell disorders who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 10th, 2020 and April 30th, 2020. Exposures Clinical features and risk factors were analyzed in relation to severity of COVID-19. Main Outcomes and Measures Descriptive statistics as well as logistic regression were used to estimate disease severity reflected in hospital admissions, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, need for mechanical ventilation, or death. Results Of 100 multiple myeloma patients (male 58%; median age 68, range 41-91) diagnosed with COVID-19, 74 (74%) were admitted; of these 13 (18%) patients were placed on mechanical ventilation, and 18 patients (24%) expired. None of the studied risk factors were significantly associated (P>0.05) with adverse outcomes (ICU-admission, mechanical ventilation, or death): hypertension (N=56) odds ratio (OR) 2.3 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.9-5.9); diabetes (N=18) OR 1.1 (95% CI 0.3-3.2); age >65 years (N=63) OR 2.0 (95% CI 0.8-5.3); high dose melphalan with autologous stem cell transplant <12 months (N=7) OR 1.2 (95% CI 0.2-7.4), IgG<650 mg/dL (N=42) OR=1.2 (95% CI 0.4-3.1). In the entire series of 127 patients with plasma cell disorders, hypertension was significantly associated with the combined end-point (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.5-8.1). Conclusions and Relevance Although multiple myeloma patients have a compromised immune system due to both the disease and therapy; in this largest disease specific cohort to date of patients with multiple myeloma and COVID-19, compared to the general population, we found risk factors for adverse outcome to be shared and mortality rates to be within the higher range of officially reported mortality rates.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) represents an incurable hematologic malignancy. Despite significant advances over the past decade, with the advent of multiple new classes of anti-myeloma agents, including immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, patients ultimately relapse. Selinexor is a first-in-class exportin-1 inhibitor with activity in these multiply relapsed and refractory patients. Although the current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is for the doublet of Selinexor in combination with dexamethasone, ongoing clinical trials are evaluating a number of combination regimens. These triplet and quadruplet, selinexor-based, regimens are showing significant activity in “triple-class” refractory patients. With appropriate combination drug choice, drug dosing, and supportive measures, patients with previously no viable options for therapy, now have multiple potential regimens to control their disease.
