ASH 2023 | Using frailty to determine CAR-T eligibility in patients with R/R multiple myeloma
Hamza Hashmi
• 10 Dec 2023
Hamza Hashmi, MD, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, discusses the impact of frailty on outcomes following CAR T-cell therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM). Dr Hashmi suggests that frailty is a more accurate predictor of CAR-T efficacy than age, evidenced in real-world data that shows frail patients treated with idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) or ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) have inferior outcomes compared to non-frail patients. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
