Streamlining Transitions Between Academic and Community Centers

Addressing the accessibility and high costs of chimeric antibody receptor (CAR) T-cell and bispecific therapies is crucial for maximizing their impact in multiple myeloma (MM).

Several studies have been conducted, but questions remain about where such therapies will fit into multiple myeloma treatment strategies.

The study highlights the importance of including patient self-assessment—and not just clinician assessment—when planning treatment in multiple myeloma.

Ajai Chari, MD, stresses the importance of making bispecific therapies more accessible at the community level to improve outcomes in multiple myeloma.

Ajai Chari, MD, University of California San Francisco, explores the challenges that accompany integrating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies into multiple myeloma treatment.

Patients who did not complete a distress screener were also less likely to receive autologous stem cell transplants.
