Unpacking Key Data from ASH 2024 - Episode 2
Insights From the Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel and Idecabtagene Vicleucel in Real-World Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Retrospective Intention-to-Treat Analysis
Panelists discuss how real-world analyses of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), as presented in abstract #2408 by Amoozgar et al at ASH 2024, provide insights into the comparative efficacy and safety of ciltacabtagene autoleucel and idecabtagene vicleucel, highlighting differences between real-world outcomes and clinical trial results.

CAR T-Cell Therapies in R/R Multiple Myeloma: Real-World Insights
Key Findings
- This retrospective intention-to-treat analysis compared the real-world efficacy and safety of 2 CAR T-cell therapies: ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) in R/R MM.
Comparative Performance
- Evaluated real-world outcomes to bridge the gap between controlled clinical trials and actual patient experiences
- Aimed to understand how these therapies perform in a more diverse, less controlled patient population
Potential Implications
- Provides critical insights into:
- Comparative effectiveness of 2 different CAR T-cell approaches
- Real-world safety profiles
- Practical considerations for treatment selection
- Patient outcomes outside of strict clinical trial protocols
Limitations and Considerations
- Retrospective study design
- Potential selection bias
- Need for further prospective validation
Clinical Relevance
- Helps physicians make more informed treatment decisions
- Offers a more nuanced understanding of CAR T-cell therapy performance in R/R MM
