Abstract
Purpose of review: The introduction of bispecific antibodies is one of the most significant recent advances in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This review will summarize the management of the toxicities associated with newly approved T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies and those which may be approved in the near future.
Recent findings: Numerous trials have shown that bispecific antibodies can be both effective and tolerable when adverse events are properly managed. Cytokine release syndrome and increased infections are observed across all bispecific antibodies. Additional adverse events are target-specific, such as the more severe hypogammaglobulinemia and infections of BCMA bispecific antibodies and the dysgeusia, nail dystrophy, and skin changes of GPRC5D bispecific antibodies. Bispecific antibodies will surely become a mainstay of multiple myeloma therapy given their efficacy and accessibility. Their unique toxicities must be carefully considered and managed to ensure they are utilized safely.
期刊介绍:
his journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hematologic malignancy.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and T-cell and other lymphoproliferative malignancies. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
