Current status of drug development for patients with multiple myeloma: a review of comparison in China and the rest of world

Current status of drug development for patients with multiple myeloma: a review of comparison in... Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy. The treatment of MM has been significantly advanced in recent years. B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted immunotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy have been approved for the treatment of relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM), which will be launched in China shortly. The CD38 (cluster of differentiation 38) antibody, daratumumab, improves the clinical outcomes both RRMM and newly diagnosed MM patients. The combination of daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone achieved favorable outcomes as the first-line therapy in China. However, high-risk patients have limited benefits from these advanced therapeutics, and usually relapse early, progressing into aggressive end-stage MM. Therefore, novel therapies are sought to improve the cancer prognosis in these patients. This review furnishes an overview of the recent clinical developments of these novel drugs and compares the drug candidates under development in China to the rest of the world. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Antibody Therapeutics Oxford University Press

Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy. The treatment of MM has been significantly advanced in recent years. B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted immunotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy have been approved for the treatment of relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM), which will be launched in China shortly. The CD38 (cluster of differentiation 38) antibody, daratumumab, improves the clinical outcomes both RRMM and newly diagnosed MM patients. The combination of daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone achieved favorable outcomes as the first-line therapy in China. However, high-risk patients have limited benefits from these advanced therapeutics, and usually relapse early, progressing into aggressive end-stage MM. Therefore, novel therapies are sought to improve the cancer prognosis in these patients. This review furnishes an overview of the recent clinical developments of these novel drugs and compares the drug candidates under development in China to the rest of the world.
