Now out in Blood Cancer Journal! 🚨 Our retrospective study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the prognostic impact of steroid and tocilizumab use following commercial/investigational CAR-T for RRMM: nature.com/articles/s4140… Among 101 patients treated with BCMA- or GPRC5D-directed CAR-T,
Check out our comparative analysis of infectious complications with BCMA-directed therapies for RRMM, just published in Blood Cancer Journal: nature.com/articles/s4140… N=256 (92 CAR-T, 55 BsAb, 109 ADC). Grade ≥3 infection rates were higher with BsAbs (40%) than CAR-T (26%) or
