IMS 2025 | The potential of iberdomide to enhance CAR T-cell expansion and functionality in multiple myeloma

Samir Parekh, MD, Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, New York City, NY, discusses the potential of iberdomide to enhance CAR T-cell expansion and functionality in multiple myeloma. This research is being explored in clinical trials to benefit patients receiving idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) or ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel). This interview took place at the 22nd International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada.

Transcript

The other exciting talk I wanted to highlight from our group is by Adolfo Aleman and Michael Amatangelo who have been working together. Michael from BMS showed that the use of iberdomide, a novel CELMoD that we have worked on in both clinical trials and translational research for several years, can activate T and NK cells. And we use this information to actually prime and further improve the activation of CAR T-cells...

The other exciting talk I wanted to highlight from our group is by Adolfo Aleman and Michael Amatangelo who have been working together. Michael from BMS showed that the use of iberdomide, a novel CELMoD that we have worked on in both clinical trials and translational research for several years, can activate T and NK cells. And we use this information to actually prime and further improve the activation of CAR T-cells. And we have now data showing that this can robustly improve the survival of the CAR T’s, the function of the CAR-T’s, and are designing clinical trials to take advantage of this finding that should help CAR-T patients receiving both ide-cel and cilta-cel.
