IMS 2021 | Myeloma: elranatamab mechanism of action

Alexander Lesokhin, MD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, discusses the mechanism of action of elranatamab (PF-06863135), designed for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Elranatamab is a bispecific antibody that binds to two antigens, CD3 on T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), which is highly expressed on multiple myeloma cells and essential for myeloma cell survival. By bringing T-cells and cancer cells in close proximity, elranatamab can activate T-cells to kill cancer cells. This interview took place during the 2nd Immune Effector Cell Therapy in MM Workshop in Boston, MA.
