Module 1: Current Utility of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) for Multiple Myeloma (MM)
- Mechanism of action and structural components of belantamab mafodotin
- Extended follow-up from the Phase III DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 trials evaluating belantamab mafodotin-containing regimens for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM
- FDA approval and current role of belantamab mafodotin/bortezomib/dexamethasone in the management of R/R MM
- Final analysis of the Phase I DREAMM-9 study and ongoing evaluation of belantamab mafodotin-containing combinations for newly diagnosed MM
- Other novel BCMA- and non-BCMA-targeted ADCs under investigation for MM
Module 2: Ocular Toxicities and Other Tolerability Considerations with ADCs for MM
- Pathogenesis and incidence of ocular adverse reactions associated with belantamab mafodotin
- Recommended approaches to monitoring for, preventing and managing ocular adverse events
- Spectrum and management of other side effects, such as cytopenias, hepatotoxicity, diarrhea and fatigue, in patients receiving belantamab mafodotin
Module 3: Integrating BCMA-Targeted Bispecific Antibodies into the Management of MM: Efficacy, Safety and Adverse-Event Management
- Pharmacologic similarities and differences among approved and investigational BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibodies for MM
- Available efficacy and safety findings leading to the FDA approvals of teclistamab, elranatamab and linvoseltamab
- FDA approval of teclistamab in combination with daratumumab for patients with R/R MM
- Selection of appropriate candidates for BCMA-directed bispecific antibody therapy and optimal incorporation of this approach in the context of other available treatment options
- Early data with and ongoing assessment of BCMA-targeted bispecific antibody-containing combination strategies and/or earlier uses of these agents, including in the front-line setting
- Incidence, severity, time course and common signs and symptoms of cytokine release syndrome with available and investigational bispecific antibodies; approaches for mitigation and management
- Spectrum, frequency and management of other adverse events, including neurotoxicity and cytopenias and infections, with bispecific antibodies
Module 4: Current and Future Role of Bispecific Antibodies with Other Targets in MM: Efficacy, Safety and Adverse-Event Management
- Biological rationale for the development of bispecific antibodies with targets beyond BCMA in MM, such as GPRC5D and FcRH5
- Long-term efficacy and safety reported with the GPRC5D-targeted bispecific antibody talquetamab in the pivotal Phase I/II MonumenTAL-1 study
- Available (MonumenTAL-3) and emerging (MonumenTAL-6) Phase III datasets with talquetamab in combination with other systemic therapies
- Preliminary findings with the FcRH5-directed bispecific antibody cevostamab as monotherapy and in combination for R/R MM
- Design, eligibility criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III CEVOLUTION trial of cevostamab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for patients with MM who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy
- Tolerability profiles of talquetamab and cevostamab; similarities and differences between these agents and BCMA-targeted bispecific antibodies
Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to
- Assess available clinical research findings with BCMA-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM to facilitate their integration into management algorithms.
- Develop strategies to identify patients appropriate for treatment with BCMA-directed ADC therapy, and counsel them regarding the risks and benefits.
- Assess available and emerging research data with BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies alone and in combination with other systemic therapies for patients with R/R MM, and appreciate the clinical role of these agents.
- Review the biological rationale for and published and emerging research findings with bispecific antibodies targeting G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), administered alone and in combination with other systemic therapies for MM, and evaluate how best to sequence FDA-approved agents.
- Appreciate the scientific justification for the development of Fc receptor-homolog 5 (FcRH5)-targeted bispecific antibodies, and appraise ongoing research efforts attempting to definitively established the efficacy and safety of these agents.
- Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage toxicities associated with ADCs and bispecific antibodies commonly used for MM in order to maintain patient quality of life and time on treatment.
- Recall available data with novel ADC- and bispecific antibody-based strategies currently under investigation for MM, and as applicable, discuss clinical trial participation with eligible patients.
