Immunotherapies have significantly improved outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma yet maintaining a durable response in heavily pretreated patients remains challenging. Therapies that target B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) provide additional treatment options in patients whose disease becomes refractory to several drug classes in early lines of therapy. Clinical trial data from selected patient populations and controlled settings are complemented by real-world data (RWD) from actual clinical practice. In this podcast, the authors reviewed and discussed seven abstracts presented at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, focusing on BCMA-directed therapies, emphasizing the value of RWD in treatment decision-making, and suggesting how RWD can help advance multiple myeloma research. These abstracts include real-world outcome studies in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma with triple-class exposed or refractory disease (abstracts 542, 3358, and 6727); an analysis on disease burden associated with delayed diagnosis (abstract 3771); comparability of real-world outcomes vs clinical trial data (abstracts 91 and 545); and outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma who experienced early treatment failure after upfront quadruplet therapy (abstract 1989).Podcast available for this article. © 2024.
