CARTITUDE-2: Efficacy and safety of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy, in patients with progressive multiple myeloma (MM) after one to three prior lines of therapy (https://www.myeloma.org/videos/cartitude-2-efficacy-safety-ciltacabtagene-autoleucel-cilta-cel-bcma-directed-car-t-cell)
Dr. Mounzer Agha on the Phase II CARTITUDE-2 Study
What is the background of this study?
Cilta-cel is a CAR T-cell therapy expressing two BCMA-targeting, single-domain antibodies designed to confer avidity. The multicohort, phase II CARTITUDE-2 study (NCT04133636) evaluates cilta-cel safety and efficacy in various clinical settings for patients with multiple myeloma and explores suitability of outpatient administration.

Dr. Mounzer Agha (UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) explains the initial results from this cohort.
Conclusions:
A single cilta-cel infusion at the recommended phase II dose led to early and deep responses with a manageable safety profile in patients with multiple myeloma who had 1–3 prior lines of therapy. Updated efficacy and safety findings will inform suitability of outpatient treatments in this and other cohorts of CARTITUDE-2 as well as the CARTITUDE-4 study.
