A detailed LINKER-MM1 analysis found that cytokine release syndrome (CRS) with linvoseltamab occurred early, was predominantly low grade, and became less frequent with successive step-up and full doses.

An MRD-guided strategy incorporating teclistamab-daratumumab intensification produced deep responses in newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma, although infections affected more than three-quarters of treated patients.

Phase 2 MILESTONE results suggest that postinduction minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity can identify a small subset of transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who may defer autologous stem cell transplantation.

A phase 3 trial shows etentamig boosts response and delays progression in triple-class exposed RRMM.

Fixed-duration KRd slowed progression in high-risk smoldering myeloma, but high rates of severe toxicity temper enthusiasm.

IRAKLIA shows isatuximab OBI boosts comfort and satisfaction vs IV in multiple myeloma, enabling fast at-home dosing with strong completion.

Gut microbiome disruption from anti-anaerobic antibiotics weakens CAR T cell therapy, raising relapse and CRS/ICANS risk; stewardship and microbiome repair may improve cancer outcomes.

Long-term CASSIOPEIA Registry results show that daratumumab maintenance supports sustained minimal residual disease negativity in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
