Article Title: CAR T cell therapy for multiple myeloma: Where are we now and where are we headed?
Abstract: While recent progress has been made in the management of multiple myeloma, it remains a highly fatal malignancy especially among patients with relapsed-refractory disease. Immunotherapy with adoptive T cells targeting myeloma-associated antigens are at various stages of development and have brought about a new hope for cure. This is a review on the emerging field of adoptively transferred engineered T cell based approaches, with an in-depth focus on chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) targeting multiple myeloma. The recent results from CAR T cells targeting B cell maturation antigen are encouraging but eventual resistance to the CAR T cell therapies remain problematic. With newer approaches in therapies for multiple myeloma, the role of transplantation is evolved to form a platform for T cell therapies. © 2017, © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
