In this on-demand webcast, experts discuss optimization of CAR T-cell therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, with a focus on patient selection, treatment timing, bridging strategies, sequencing, and toxicity management. Drawing on phase III clinical trial findings from KarMMa-3 and CARTITUDE-4, subgroup analyses, and real-world evidence, the experts examine the efficacy and safety of idecabtagene vicleucel and ciltacabtagene autoleucel, including outcomes in older patients and those with high-risk disease or renal impairment. Case-based discussions address early referral, selection of holding and bridging therapies, the role of talquetamab before BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy, and sequencing considerations involving bispecific antibodies. The experts also review strategies for recognizing and managing acute and delayed toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, infections, and immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis, emphasizing multidisciplinary care coordination to improve treatment access, safety, and patient outcomes.

This activity is intended for hematologists, oncologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, physician associates, and other healthcare professionals who care for patients with multiple myeloma.
This activity aims to improve learners’ knowledge, confidence, and competence in integrating CAR T-cell therapies into treatment plans for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Apply patient selection and eligibility criteria for BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy in MM, including evidence-informed considerations for high-risk disease, older or frail patients, and those with clinically relevant comorbidities
Implement bridging and sequencing strategies across BCMA CAR T and T-cell–redirecting therapies (including bispecific antibodies), using emerging clinical trial and real-world evidence to optimize timing, target selection, and downstream options
Integrate new and evolving BCMA CAR T data, including earlier-line use, durability of response, and real-world experience, into practical, patient-specific treatment decisions
Recognize, differentiate, and manage CAR T–associated adverse events, with emphasis on CRS and ICANS, as well as late/atypical neurotoxicities reported with BCMA-directed constructs (eg, Parkinsonian features and cranial nerve palsies), to support timely triage and safe care delivery
