    1. CAR T cells

      Update 4-9-2021

      Information on idecabtagene vicleucel approval data and indication has been added, as noted below:

      • Idecabtagene vicleucel is a BCMA-directed CAR T cell therapy, indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after four or more prior lines of therapy, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Approval was based on safety and efficacy in a multicenter study of 127 patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least three prior lines of antimyeloma therapies with 88% having received four or more prior lines of therapies. Efficacy was evaluated in 100 patients who received idecabtagene vicleucel at a dose range of 300 to 460 x 106 CAR-positive T cells. The ORR (by IMWG criteria) was 72% (95% CI, 62% to 81%) and CR rate was 28% (95% CI, 19% to 38%). An estimated 65% of patients who achieved CR remained in CR for at least 12 months. The expert panel recommendations on CAR T cell therapy for multiple myeloma were developed, in part, based on experience from trials of idecabtagene vicleucel.
    2. Panel recommendations

      Update 8-5-2020

      A recommendation has been added, as noted below:

      • Avoid use of contact lenses unless directed by an opthamologist during treatment with belantamab mafadotin.
    3. During belantamab mafodotin treatment specifically, therapy can be restarted once keratopathy or other AEs (such as cytopenias) have resolved to grade 1 or less. Dose reduction from 3.4 to 2.5 mg/kg may be considered. Further dose reductions to 1.9 mg/kg may be done if significant toxicity recurs.

      Update 8-5-2020

      The following recommendation has been removed:

      • During belantamab mafodotin treatment specifically, therapy can be restarted once keratopathy or other AEs (such as cytopenias) have resolved to grade 1 or less. Dose reduction from 3.4 to 2.5 mg/kg may be considered. Further dose reductions to 1.9 mg/kg may be done if significant toxicity recurs.
    4. Management of moderate-to-severe corneal toxicity includes holding therapy until improvement of symptoms to grade 1 or less and improvement of corneal changes is confirmed by ophthalmological examination, then restarting with a one level dose reduction.

      Update - 8-5-2020

      A recommendation was updated, as noted below:

      • Belantamab mafadotin should be withheld in the event of moderate to severe corneal toxicity, then restarted with a reduced dose once symptoms resolve
    5. Management of corneal toxicity includes use of preservative-free lubricant eye drops as needed for symptoms of dryness, blurry vision or photophobia.

      Update 8-5-2020

      A recommendation was updated, as noted below:

      • Patients being treated with belentamab mafadotin should be advised to use preservative-free eye drops at least 4 times per day starting with the first infusion and continuing until end of treatment.
    6. Monitoring in the initial studies included weekly complete blood counts and complete metabolic panels. After the first few cycles or after blood counts normalize, testing can be reduced to occur every treatment cycle.

      Update 8-5-2020

      A recommendation was updated, as noted below:

      • Patients should be routinely monitored with complete blood counts and complete metabolic panels.
    7. Panel recommendations

      Update 8-5-2020

      An additional recommendation was added, as noted below:

      • Belantamab mafadotin is approved for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 4 prior therapies including an anti-CD38 mAb, a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent
    8. In 2017, belantamab mafodotin was awarded Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA and PRIME designation from the EMA. Belantamab mafodotin is currently in clinical development in patients with RRMM and other advanced hematological malignancies expressing BCMA but is not yet approved for use.

      Update 8-5-2020

      The approval status and information regarding Belantamab mafadotin has been updated, as noted below:

      • Belantamab mafadotin, an anti-BCMA antibody conjugated to the cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin F via a non-cleavable linker, received accelerated approval for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in August, 2020. Approval was based on the open-label, multicenter trial DREAMM-2 (NCT 03525678). Because of the risks of ocular toxicity, belantamab mafodotin is only available through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), called the BLENREP REMS.
