Improving access to CAR T-cell therapy for eligible patients

Описание: During the Multiple Myeloma Hub Steering Committee Meeting in November 2025, key opinion leaders met to discuss improving access to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for eligible patients with multiple myeloma. The meeting opened with a presentation by Sagar Lonial and featured a discussion including Morie Gertz, Elena Zamagni, Meral Beksaç, and Sonia Zweegmann.

During his presentation, Lonial provided an overview of approved and investigational CAR T-cell therapies for multiple myeloma, the CAR T-cell therapy treatment process, and multi-step treatment pathway. He explored barriers to treatment with CAR T-cell therapy, racial disparities in access to CAR T-cell therapy, and manufacturing and attrition considerations. He discussed potential strategies for improving access to CAR T-cell therapy for eligible patients, exploring patient selection and referral, optimizing the pre-CAR-T infusion process, use of CAR T-cell therapy in earlier lines of therapy, accelerated manufacturing, and allogeneic CAR T-cell therapies.
