In the phase 2 BMT CTN 1902 trial discussed by Alfred L. Garfall, MD, researchers investigated the use of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) in patients with multiple myeloma who had previously undergone a stem cell transplant. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of this CAR T-cell therapy as a consolidation treatment, which is a therapy given after the initial treatment to further reduce the number of cancer cells.
The trial's findings are significant as they explore the potential benefits of ide-cel in a post-transplant setting, which could offer a new therapeutic strategy for patients with multiple myeloma. The results could pave the way for improved outcomes by integrating advanced cellular therapies into the treatment regimen after a stem cell transplant. The specific data on response rates, duration of response, and patient outcomes from the trial were not detailed in the abstract provided by Targeted Oncology News (2025).
