Abstract
The treatment of multiple myeloma has changed dramatically in recent years, with huge strides forward made in the field. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy targeting the B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is now widely approved in relapsed refractory patients and is moving into earlier treatment lines. In this review, we discuss the evidence underpinning current regulatory approvals and consider mechanisms through which CAR-T cell efficacy could be improved. These include tackling BCMA-loss, harnessing the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, manufacturing concerns including the potential role of other cellular sources, safety issues such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, and optimal patient selection.
近年来,多发性骨髓瘤的治疗发生了巨大变化,该领域取得了长足进步。以 B 细胞成熟抗原(BCMA)为靶点的嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法目前已被广泛批准用于复发难治患者的治疗,并正在进入早期治疗阶段。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了目前监管部门批准的证据,并考虑了可以提高 CAR-T 细胞疗效的机制。这些机制包括解决 BCMA 缺失问题、利用免疫抑制肿瘤微环境、生产问题(包括其他细胞来源的潜在作用)、安全问题(如细胞因子释放综合征和神经毒性)以及最佳患者选择。
期刊介绍:
Blood Cancer Journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality articles related to hematologic malignancies and related disorders. The journal welcomes submissions of original research, reviews, guidelines, and letters that are deemed to have a significant impact in the field. While the journal covers a wide range of topics, it particularly focuses on areas such as:
Preclinical studies of new compounds, especially those that provide mechanistic insights
Clinical trials and observations
Reviews related to new drugs and current management of hematologic malignancies
Novel observations related to new mutations, molecular pathways, and tumor genomics
Blood Cancer Journal offers a forum for expedited publication of novel observations regarding new mutations or altered pathways.
