In this video, Hamza Hashmi, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, discusses the association between functionally high-risk disease and inferior outcomes after CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM), highlighting that while CAR T-cell therapy can overcome the negative prognostic impact of functionally high-risk disease when given in earlier lines of treatment, it may not do so as a late-line therapy. As a result of this, Dr Hashmi recommends that patients with functionally high-risk disease who progress within 24 months of their frontline therapy should be considered for CAR-T at first relapse. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
