“CAR-T cell therapy has now become a new option for treating patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, with hopes of changing the difficult situation in myeloma treatment where treatments are either ineffective or unavailable,” said Jin Jie, Director of the Hematology Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, in an interview with People’s Daily Health on October 23.

Early on October 23, Jin Jie visited the hospital ward to see a 72-year-old patient with multiple myeloma. Just the day before, the patient had begun receiving treatment with a domestically produced BCMA-targeting CAR-T drug.

“This 72-year-old patient came to the hospital due to bone pain and was even unable to walk steadily,” Jin recalled. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, the patient initially received a series of chemotherapy regimens that showed some efficacy. However, a year after undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the disease relapsed, and various subsequent treatments proved suboptimal. As a result, the patient opted for CAR-T therapy.

Since the approval of Equecabtagene Autoleucel last year, Professor Jin Jie became one of the first doctors nationwide to prescribe CAR-T drugs for multiple myeloma. This patient is her tenth multiple myeloma patient to receive this innovative therapy. Discussing the treatment outcomes, Jin noted, “The overall efficacy for patients has been very good.” A month ago, another patient who underwent this CAR-T therapy returned for a follow-up. “Everything was going well; we will continue to monitor the patient’s indicators until all data are stable.”

Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disease that predominantly affects older adults. Jin observed that the incidence of multiple myeloma has been trending younger in recent years, with patients in their forties commonly seen in clinical settings. Currently, multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease, and most patients face inevitable relapse. However, thanks to the emergence of new drugs and advances in treatment, both the efficacy and overall survival of patients have significantly improved in recent years.

“CAR-T therapy involves collecting a patient’s T cells and equipping them with a ‘weapon.’ These T cells are then expanded outside the body and re-infused into the patient, where they target and attack tumor cells, while also being able to proliferate in the patient’s body to eliminate cancer cells,” Jin explained. CAR-T therapy has the potential to give patients a higher quality of life.

CAR-T cell therapy has been advancing rapidly in the field of multiple myeloma, with multiple products already approved and available. In Jin’s view, patients should, under professional guidance, choose drugs and treatments with extensive clinical experience and proven efficacy.

#CAR-TTherapy #MultipleMyeloma #PatientStory #CancerSurvivor

In recent years, CAR-T cell therapy in China has spearheaded a revolution in hematologic cancer treatment. This innovative immunotherapy has brought a glimmer of hope to many patients, especially those with relapsed and refractory cases who have exhausted traditional treatments. We recently interviewed Ms. Chen, a 53-year-old multiple myeloma patient who reached complete remission (CR) following CAR-T therapy, in hopes that her journey will inspire confidence and encouragement in other patients facing similar challenges.

**Ms. Chen’s Treatment Journey**

Ms. Chen, once a restaurant owner, was misdiagnosed with lumbar spondylolisthesis in 2019 due to chronic back pain and underwent surgery. However, her symptoms worsened post-surgery, and she was ultimately diagnosed with multiple myeloma with high-risk cytogenetic features. The sudden diagnosis was devastating, and she considered abandoning treatment. Encouraged by her family and reassured by her doctors, she decided to face the disease head-on and began treatment.

After multiple rounds of chemotherapy, Ms. Chen saw some improvement, but her condition continued to relapse. As her condition worsened and traditional therapies proved ineffective, she reached out to our Advanced Medicine in China team. After an expert consultation, Ms. Chen was offered the chance to receive CAR-T therapy, and with the support of her family and medical team, she found renewed hope.

**The Miracle of CAR-T Therapy**

A few days after her cells were collected and reinfused, Ms. Chen experienced side effects such as fever and headache. With close monitoring by our expert team, her side effects gradually came under control. After completing CAR-T therapy, her condition was effectively managed, allowing her to return to a normal lifestyle. Today, she can handle household chores and has gradually returned to work, leading a healthy and fulfilling life.

**Ms. Chen’s Advice and Encouragement**

  1. **Trust Science and Doctors**: Persist with treatment and believe in the power of science—don’t give up easily.

  2. **Maintain Good Communication**: Work closely with your doctors and trust their expertise.

  3. **Stay Positive**: Approach the illness with positivity, avoiding anxiety and fear.

  4. **Focus on Nutrition**: Ms. Chen believes dietary supplementation is better than medication and boosts immunity through balanced nutrition.

  5. **Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle**: She often walks in the park, enjoys sunlight, and cherishes a restored, healthy life.

**Expert Opinion: The Advantages and Prospects of China’s CAR-T Therapy**

CAR-T therapy has become a groundbreaking treatment option due to its high specificity for hematologic malignancies. Compared with traditional therapies, China’s CAR-T therapy offers distinct advantages:

  1. **High Specificity**: Chinese CAR-T cells can precisely identify and destroy cancer cells, reducing harm to normal tissues.

  2. **Short Treatment Cycle**: Unlike conventional multi-round treatments, China’s CAR-T therapy typically requires only one infusion, with fewer side effects.

  3. **Deep and Durable Responses**: Chinese CAR-T cells can survive in the body long-term and continually eliminate cancer cells.

Data shows that the overall survival rate for multiple myeloma patients treated with CAR-T is 92.9% over three years, highlighting its tremendous potential in enhancing both patient quality of life and longevity.

**Conclusion**

China’s CAR-T therapy brings new hope to patients with relapsed and refractory hematologic malignancies, and cases like Ms. Chen’s are on the rise. We hope her story will offer strength and confidence to patients currently battling illness.

What Kind of Multiple Myeloma Patients Are Suitable for CAR-T Therapy in China?

# What Kind of Multiple Myeloma Patients Are Suitable for CAR-T Therapy in China?

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

#MultipleMyeloma #CAR_Therapy #MM #CART #RRMM #Hematology

**Multiple Myeloma** (MM) is a malignant hematological disease that affects plasma cells. In recent years, various drugs and treatment methods, such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and autologous stem cell transplantation, have significantly improved the prognosis of multiple myeloma patients. However, a considerable number of patients still experience relapses and refractory disease. For these patients, CAR-T cell therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking and effective treatment option.

China has made remarkable progress in CAR-T therapy technology in recent years, becoming a global leader in the field of hematological diseases. This has attracted patients worldwide to seek this advanced treatment. So, which multiple myeloma patients are suitable to receive CAR-T treatment in China?

## 1. **Indications: Preferred Choice for Drug-Resistant/Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients**

CAR-T therapy is typically recommended for multiple myeloma patients who have developed resistance to standard treatments (such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and monoclonal antibodies) and are in their third line of treatment or beyond. In China, CAR-T therapy has broader indications and better efficacy.

### Suitable Patient Types:

  1. Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients, typically those who have undergone at least second-line treatments.

  2. Patients with high-risk genetic characteristics, such as certain mutations (e.g., 17p deletion, t(4;14) translocation).

  3. Patients unable to tolerate traditional treatments, including chemotherapy, other targeted therapies, stem cell transplantation, or immunomodulatory treatments, due to poor tolerance or severe side effects.

  4. Patients who are BCMA-positive.

  5. Patients whose disease continues to progress despite other treatments, especially chemotherapy.

  6. Patients who are ineligible for stem cell transplantation.

  7. Patients with severe symptoms not responsive to conventional treatments, such as bone pain, anemia, hypercalcemia, and kidney damage.

  8. High tumor burden patients—experts generally reduce the tumor burden first before administering CAR-T therapy, often through bridging or sequential treatments.

Among the four global CAR-T products targeting the BCMA marker in multiple myeloma, two Chinese products stand out for their efficacy and affordability. The most effective product currently is IASO Bio’s FUCASO (Equecabtagene Autoleucel), with a complete response (CR) rate of 82.4%.

## 2. **Patients in Good Physical Condition**

CAR-T therapy is essentially a powerful immunotherapy. Although it has remarkable efficacy, it also carries some risks of side effects, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxic reactions. China’s CAR-T treatment system is highly developed, with established treatment plans and consensus. The country has extensive experience in managing CRS, neurotoxins, and side effects, keeping the risks very low. Moreover, the expert doctors at Advanced Medicine in China have substantial experience in managing these risks. Nonetheless, patients are typically required to have stable physical health to withstand the risks associated with the treatment.

– Overall good physical function; patients with heart, lung, liver, or kidney dysfunction may require a secondary evaluation by an expert team.

– Patients need to score 0-1 on the ECOG performance status scale, indicating that they are capable of daily activities and self-care.

## 3. **Patients with Financial and Time Support for CAR-T Therapy**

CAR-T therapy’s high cost and complex manufacturing process require patients and their families to have financial support. CAR-T therapy in China is significantly more affordable than in Western countries. While CAR-T treatments in the U.S. may cost $600,000 to $700,000, China’s approved CAR-T treatments cost around $100,000, about one-fifth to one-seventh of U.S. prices. Nevertheless, it remains a high-cost treatment, so patients need to be fully aware of the expenses involved.

China has invested heavily in CAR-T research in recent years. Many top hospitals and research institutions conduct related clinical trials. China accounts for over 50% of global CAR-T clinical trials. If a patient qualifies for a clinical trial, participating in it could be a more economical option, offering access to the latest CAR-T therapies, sometimes costing only tens of thousands of dollars or even free.

The CAR-T treatment process is relatively long. It involves collecting T cells, modifying them, re-injecting them, and close monitoring, requiring the patient to have enough time and patience to complete the entire process. The fastest known case took two weeks to complete all steps and discharge with complete response (CR), but generally, the process takes about four weeks or longer, depending on the patient’s condition.

For patients who can afford the treatment and have the time to complete it, CAR-T therapy in China is undoubtedly an attractive option.

## Conclusion

China’s leading position in CAR-T cell therapy technology and lower treatment costs make it a popular destination for multiple myeloma patients worldwide. It offers new hope for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. By working with experienced medical teams, patients can receive more personalized treatment plans and benefit from the rapid development of CAR-T therapy globally.

#CARTtherapy #InternationalPatient #CART #Multiplemyeloma #lymphoma #leukemia

In recent years, CAR-T cell therapy, as an innovative cancer treatment, has rapidly gained widespread attention globally. China, as a leading country in the CAR-T treatment field, has attracted an increasing number of patients from Europe and Asia due to its advanced technology, high-quality medical resources, and relatively lower treatment costs. So, why are more international patients choosing to come to China for CAR-T treatment? Here are some key reasons worth noting:

### 1. **Advanced CAR-T Treatment Technology**

Over the past decade, China has made tremendous strides in medical research, particularly in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Not only has China successfully developed various CAR-T therapies, but it has also built a comprehensive treatment protocol and safety monitoring system to ensure efficient and safe treatment for patients. Additionally, China has accumulated extensive experience in managing treatment-related side effects, such as CRS (Cytokine Release Syndrome) and neurotoxicity.

Currently, more than 50% of the world’s clinical trials for CAR-T therapy are conducted in China. Of the 11 CAR-T products already on the global market, five are from China. These include products for multiple myeloma (BCMA CAR-T), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CD19 CAR-T), and leukemia. Compared to similar products in the U.S. for multiple myeloma, China’s CAR-T products are not only fully humanized but also boast the highest complete remission rates among all available products, reaching 82.4%. The CR data for China’s lymphoma and leukemia CAR-T products are also impressive, at 77.6% and 82.1%, respectively.

### 2. **International Certification and Clinical Trial Opportunities**

Several hospitals and research institutions in China have gained international recognition for their CAR-T therapies. Patients can choose between commercial CAR-T treatments or participate in clinical trials. For some CAR-T treatments that have not yet been approved or are hard to access in Europe or Asia, patients can receive these cutting-edge therapies in China earlier.

Just a few days ago, Chinese scholars’ research on universal CAR-T cell therapy was featured on the cover of *Nature*. Various other studies on Chinese CAR-T therapies are frequently published in major medical journals. For example, a Chinese medical team published a study on dual-target CAR-T in *JAMA Oncology*, showing a 100% stringent complete remission (sCR) rate in high-risk multiple myeloma patients. Additionally, a research team from Zhejiang, China, published clinical data in *Cell Discovery*, highlighting the breakthrough of the fourth-generation anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in treating relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma with exceptional anti-tumor capabilities.

### 3. **Relatively Low Treatment Costs**

Compared to the million-dollar treatment costs in Western countries, CAR-T treatment in China is relatively affordable, often costing just 1/5 to 1/7 of the price in the U.S. For instance, the cheapest CAR-T product for multiple myeloma in the U.S. costs $420,000, and when including hospitalization and other expenses, the total cost can reach around $700,000. In contrast, similar Chinese products, with equal or even better effectiveness, cost only $160,000, and hospitalization and other fees are much lower, often under $10,000. Some treatment options are available for just a few tens of thousands of dollars, and in certain cases, treatment is even completely free.

Patients from Europe and Asia can receive world-class CAR-T therapy in China at a much lower cost, providing an affordable option for those who find the high costs of treatment elsewhere prohibitive. Moreover, a range of one-stop medical services, including hospital visits, translation assistance, transportation, accommodation, and even family care, can significantly enhance the patient experience for international patients.

### 4. **World-Class Expert Teams**

China is home to a group of internationally renowned oncology and immunotherapy experts who have extensive clinical experience and academic achievements in hematological cancers and CAR-T therapy. Patients receive personalized treatment plans designed by leading experts, ensuring that each treatment is precisely tailored to their specific condition, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing risks.

For example, Professor Huang Xiaojun, Director of the Institute of Hematology at Peking University, is one of the world’s pioneers in haploidentical transplantation, having developed China’s haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation model. His innovative approach has increased the 3-year survival rate of leukemia patients receiving haploidentical transplants from around 20% to approximately 70%, earning him the Distinguished Service Award from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research.

### 5. **Efficient and Convenient Medical Services**

China has implemented a 144-hour visa-free transit policy for citizens of 54 countries and mutual visa exemptions with 24 countries. This is a major benefit for international patients seeking treatment in China. Moreover, China’s healthcare system is known for its efficiency and convenience, especially in treating major diseases. Appointment wait times are short, and there is minimal delay in receiving treatment. A “super green channel” is also available for international patients, ensuring quick diagnosis and treatment planning. From initial consultation to online meetings with specialists, the process typically takes less than a week, with hospital admission and treatment beginning within another week.

Compared to the long waiting periods in other countries, China’s efficient medical services significantly improve treatment success rates and patient satisfaction. CAR-T therapy, in particular, is known for its high efficiency. There was an international patient who went from initial consultation to complete remission and a safe return home in less than a month—a remarkable achievement considering CAR-T is a “living” drug that must be custom-prepared using the patient’s own blood cells.

### 6. **Abundant Success Stories**

Many international patients who have received CAR-T therapy in China have achieved remarkable results, with their cancers being effectively controlled or even cured. These success stories not only boost confidence among patients worldwide but also attract more people to China for treatment. By sharing these stories, more patients learn about China’s advantages in CAR-T therapy and choose it as their treatment destination.

For instance, Ethan, a patient from Singapore, achieved complete remission just four weeks after CAR-T treatment and has since recovered very well. There is also the story of a Russian patient with high-risk, late-stage multiple myeloma who received efficient treatment in China at a much more reasonable cost and with a faster treatment process.

### 7. **Conclusion**

In conclusion, as China continues to enhance its technological capabilities in CAR-T cell therapy, more and more patients from around the world are choosing to come to China for this cutting-edge cancer treatment. With its advanced medical technology, international services, and relatively lower treatment costs, China is becoming an important destination for cancer patients seeking treatment. If you or a loved one is searching for innovative cancer treatment options, consider CAR-T therapy in China for a chance at recovery!

#CARTTherapy #MultipleMyeloma #BCMA #CD19 #JAMAOncology #MM #HRMM #DualTarget

Once again, a Chinese medical team is at the forefront of innovation, making significant strides in the field of CAR-T cell therapy. A recent study published in *JAMA Oncology* (B-Cell Maturation Antigen/CD19 Dual-Targeting Immunotherapy in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma) revealed remarkable results for the dual-target BCMA/CD19 CAR-T therapy in high-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. In this study, all 19 participants achieved stringent complete remission (sCR) and were found to be minimal residual disease (MRD) negative, resulting in an astounding 100% remission rate.

**CAR-T Therapy: A Breakthrough in Hematologic Cancer Treatment**

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a challenging hematologic cancer, particularly for patients with high-risk features, where traditional treatments often show limited efficacy. CAR-T cell therapy is an innovative immunotherapy that reprograms a patient’s own T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. In recent years, this therapy has shown significant success in treating leukemia, lymphoma, and relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM). The latest study further demonstrates that dual-target CAR-T therapy, focusing on BCMA and CD19, can significantly improve the prognosis for high-risk MM patients.

**The Impressive Results of China’s Dual-Target CAR-T Therapy**

The CAR-T therapy used in this study, GC012F, targets both B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD19 surface antigens, showing powerful anti-tumor effects. Every patient in the study not only achieved complete remission after treatment but also maintained a long-term MRD-negative status, meaning that traces of cancer cells were nearly undetectable post-therapy.

More importantly, the study highlighted the swift effectiveness of the Chinese GC012F therapy—patients reached their first complete remission in a median time of just 84 days, with MRD-negative status achieved in as little as 28 days. This rapid anti-tumor response provides a crucial treatment window for patients, significantly improving their prognosis.

**Safety and Future Prospects**

In addition to its impressive efficacy, GC012F demonstrated favorable safety.

### China’s BCMA CAR-T Therapy Offers Last Hope for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma Patients

CAR-T Therapy

CAR-T Therapy

 

Multiple myeloma remains a difficult-to-cure disease, and every year, countless patients around the world face this devastating diagnosis. While treatment options have improved in recent years, and patients’ survival times have extended, drug resistance remains a significant challenge. For patients who have experienced multiple relapses and are resistant to various treatments, the future can seem bleak. Fortunately, with the emergence of **BCMA CAR-T cell therapy**, a new ray of hope is illuminating the path for these patients.

This is the story we’re sharing today, about a 76-year-old female patient who regained control of her life through CAR-T therapy.

#### The First Encounter with the Disease

In 2020, this Chinese 76-year-old woman noticed a decline in appetite and a rapid weight loss, accompanied by persistent rib pain. She had no idea that these symptoms were early signs of multiple myeloma. After several medical tests, her Chinese doctors confirmed the diagnosis: 31% of her bone marrow cells were plasma cells, her M-protein levels reached 85.7 g/L, and calcium levels in her blood were abnormally high. Multiple bones throughout her body also showed signs of significant damage.

The diagnosis left the patient shocked and confused. Multiple myeloma wasn’t her first health challenge; she also had a history of Parkinson’s disease. However, she remained hopeful, believing that with the right treatment, her condition could be controlled. But fate had other plans.

 

#### The Struggle and Relapse

At the beginning of 2023, the patient’s condition relapsed rapidly. Due to a prolonged lack of regular treatment, her disease worsened, and she became resistant to many standard therapies. After extensive tests, her medical team discovered that she had a high-risk mSMART 3.0 profile, with genetic abnormalities including 1q21 amplification and a t(4;14) translocation, making her prognosis extremely poor. She was now considered a “triple-refractory” patient, resistant to three main treatment categories.

Faced with this complex and challenging situation, the Chinese doctors didn’t give up. After multiple discussions and research, they recommended a cutting-edge therapy — **BCMA CAR-T cell therapy**. This treatment involves modifying the patient’s immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. However, to undergo this advanced therapy, the patient first needed to undergo **bridging treatment** to reduce the tumor burden in her body.

 

#### Bridging Treatment: A Turning Point

To prepare for CAR-T therapy, the Chinese doctors initially prescribed the **DKD regimen**, a combination therapy intended to quickly reduce the cancer cell load. However, the first treatment cycle didn’t bring significant improvement, and her free light chain levels remained high. Both the patient and her family felt disappointed, but the Chinese doctors acted quickly, switching to the **KAD regimen**, which included **liposomal doxorubicin** to further enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

This adjustment brought immediate results. After a few weeks, her free light chain levels began to drop, and her condition showed partial remission (PR). This meant she was finally ready for CAR-T cell therapy.

#### The Miracle of CAR-T Therapy

CAR-T therapy is a breakthrough technology where the patient’s immune cells are extracted, genetically modified to recognize and destroy cancer cells, and then reintroduced into the body. These engineered cells act like precision-guided weapons, specifically targeting her cancer cells.

The patient responded positively to the treatment. Within just a few weeks, her condition was significantly controlled, with results showing a very good partial response (VGPR). For such a complex case of relapsed and refractory disease, this was a major success.

 

#### The Significance of the Story

This patient’s story highlights China’s latest advancements in the treatment of multiple myeloma. The use of **carfilzomib-based bridging therapy** paved the way for CAR-T therapy, successfully giving a patient with a poor prognosis a new chance at life. For those facing the dual challenges of drug resistance and relapse, **BCMA CAR-T therapy** offers not just a new treatment option, but a lifeline.

The product that has renewed hope for this 76-year-old Chinese woman is a BCMA-targeted CAR-T therapy that has already been launched in China. China is changing the fate of patients worldwide through advanced cancer treatments. Notably, in the field of CAR-T technology related to hematologic tumors and multiple myeloma, two BCMA CAR-T products have been approved in China. Especially commendable is Reindeer Bio’s independently developed fully human BCMA product, FUCASO, which has achieved an astonishing complete remission (CR) rate of 82.4%, the highest among all globally approved products. An increasing number of foreign multiple myeloma patients are now seeking treatment in China to access better therapies at more affordable prices. As China continues to develop cutting-edge medical therapies, aggressive treatments like CAR-T undoubtedly provide new hope for the future of multiple myeloma treatment.

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

#MultipleMyeloma #CARTtherapy #BloodCancer #CompleteRemission #CART

 

    Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignant blood disorder characterized by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells, which causes damage to vital organs. Patients with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities like 17p deletion, t(4;14) translocation, and t(14;16) translocation face an even worse prognosis. While new drugs like proteasome inhibitors and autologous stem cell transplantation have improved MM treatment outcomes, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) continues to be a challenge due to its aggressive nature and tendency to relapse. Despite the use of traditional therapies, many patients either fail to respond or cannot tolerate further treatment due to underlying health issues.

    CAR-T cell therapy, a novel immunotherapy that re-engineers the patient’s own T cells to attack cancer cells, has shown remarkable results in RRMM patients. It offers an alternative for patients who have poor tolerance to conventional treatments, presenting a safer and more effective option. In particular, Equecabtagene Autoleucel, a CAR-T therapy targeting the BCMA antigen on myeloma cells, has demonstrated success in treating patients unresponsive to frontline therapies.

### Case Study: High-Risk MM Patient Achieves Complete Remission

A 45-year-old male patient diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in June 2023 sought further treatment at our hospital after failing to respond to chemotherapy. He had a history of coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, and kidney artery stenosis, making traditional therapies less effective and risky.

    Upon evaluation, the patient’s tests indicated κ-type M protein and abnormal free light chains (FLC-κ of 2410.5mg/L). Imaging scans revealed extensive bone damage caused by multiple myeloma. Genetic testing showed high-risk markers including 17p deletion and 1q21 amplification, further complicating his prognosis.

    Given his high-risk status and poor response to standard treatments, the medical team decided to proceed with CAR-T cell therapy using Equecabtagene Autoleucel. After a smooth cell collection and lymphodepletion process, the patient received CAR-T infusion on November 15, 2023.

### Treatment Outcome and Safety

Eight days after infusion, the patient developed a mild fever, indicating cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which was effectively managed with symptomatic treatment. Despite mild kidney dysfunction and temporary blood cell reductions, no severe side effects or neurotoxicities occurred. By day 42, the patient developed a lung infection, which was treated with antibiotics, leading to a full recovery.

    At the one-month follow-up, flow cytometry showed no minimal residual disease (MRD), confirming the patient had achieved complete remission (CR) with MRD negativity. This outcome was particularly significant considering the patient’s failure to respond to previous treatments.

### A Promising Future for High-Risk MM Patients

This case highlights the potential of CAR-T cell therapy, particularly Equecabtagene Autoleucel, in achieving deep remission for high-risk multiple myeloma patients who fail to respond to conventional therapies. With ongoing advancements in biomedical technology and immunotherapy, CAR-T treatments offer hope for RRMM patients, providing longer disease-free survival and improved quality of life.

BCMA CAR-T Therapy Paves New Path for Treating High-Risk Multiple Myeloma

**BCMA CAR-T Therapy Paves New Path for Treating High-Risk Multiple Myeloma**

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignant tumor originating from plasma cells, known for its complex biology and treatment resistance, presenting significant challenges to patients’ survival. For high-risk MM, especially in cases of relapse and refractory disease after multiple lines of therapy, treatment options become critically important. Recently, a team led by Professor Qian from a Chinese Hospital successfully treated a high-risk relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) patient using BCMA CAR-T cell therapy, offering new hope for difficult-to-treat cases.

**Patient Overview**

The patient, a 56-year-old woman, initially sought treatment for persistent anemia and back pain. Baseline examinations revealed significant abnormalities, including a hemoglobin level of 67g/L, thrombocytopenia, and abnormal bone marrow findings. She was diagnosed with IgG-kappa type MM at stage ISS III/R-ISS III, with cytogenetic abnormalities and high-risk factors such as t(14;16) and 1q21 amplification. The disease rapidly progressed despite multiple lines of therapy, including VRd and DVD regimens, with external manifestations of extramedullary disease (EMD), indicating a poor prognosis.

**Treatment Journey**

The patient initially underwent VRd induction therapy, followed by DVD treatment when the disease progressed. Despite efforts, she developed multiple extramedullary lesions, leading to the use of the Dara+DECP regimen and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). While these treatments provided partial remission, the disease relapsed within months, with extramedullary involvement further complicating the prognosis.

Given the poor prognosis and lack of effective treatments for EMD in MM, the decision was made to pursue BCMA CAR-T cell therapy, specifically with **Equecabtagene Autoleucel**, China’s first CAR-T product for treating MM. This therapy has demonstrated an impressive overall response rate (ORR) of 100% in patients with extramedullary disease, with a complete remission (CR) rate of 78.6%.

**CAR-T Therapy and Outcomes**

Following preconditioning with FC regimen, the patient underwent BCMA CAR-T therapy. After CAR-T infusion, the patient experienced mild cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which was successfully managed with supportive care. Over the course of three months, significant clinical improvements were observed. PET-CT scans showed no residual disease, and bone marrow biopsies were negative for clonal plasma cells. The patient achieved stringent complete remission (sCR).

Eight months after CAR-T therapy, follow-up results continue to show no evidence of disease, with the patient maintaining CR. This case highlights the long-lasting anti-tumor effects of Equecabtagene Autoleucel, a fully human BCMA CAR-T product, which offers low immunogenicity and sustained CAR-T cell persistence in vivo.

**Implications for Future Treatment**

This success story offers new hope for patients with high-risk and refractory MM, especially those with extramedullary involvement. It also provides valuable clinical insights into the use of BCMA CAR-T therapy as a promising treatment strategy. The case demonstrates that for patients with high-risk MM, comprehensive risk assessment considering genetic characteristics, treatment responses, and future treatment plans is essential for personalized care.

In conclusion, the application of Equecabtagene Autoleucel CAR-T therapy represents a significant breakthrough in the treatment of high-risk, refractory MM, particularly in cases involving extramedullary disease. This innovative approach not only extends survival but also enhances the quality of life for patients who have exhausted other treatment options, marking a new chapter in the fight against multiple myeloma.
