摘要: Novel effective immunotherapies are needed for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), since disease recurrence remains a major obstacle. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), cell surface protein universally expressed on malignant plasma cells , has emerged as very selective to be targeted in novel treatments MM. We here first review BCMA-related biology, and then highlight the recent clinical development of afucosylated anti-BCMA monoclonal antibody conjugated monomethyl auristatin F via noncleavable linker (GSK2857916). Chimeric receptor-expressing T targeting BCMA may also induce specific durable anti-MM responses by patients' own effector cells. Clinical trials testing these two approaches (NCT02064387, NCT02215967) currently ongoing relapsed refractory MM patients.
