Original Medical Overview Medical Overview September 19, 2024 08:54 Shanghai Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that, despite advances in treatment methods in recent years, remains an incurable disease. The traditional treatment options for MM include the combination of proteasome inhibitors (PIs), immunomodulators (IMiDs), and monoclonal antibodies (Mo Abs). Although these methods improve patient survival and progression free survival (PFS), with the emergence of treatment resistant clones, patients will eventually develop resistance to these treatments. Therefore, researchers are exploring new treatment strategies such as CAR-T cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, which activate immune T cells to kill tumor cells. Based on the review of bispecific antibodies and multiple myeloma published in the Blood Cancer Journal this month, let’s talk about the design, mechanism of action, current clinical trials, and future development directions of bispecific antibodies. 01 Bispecific antibodies and therapeutic targets Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are antibody constructs with two ...
