Previous studies have suggested the importance of cholesterol metabolism in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Since ferroptosis is closely related to lipid metabolism, researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute aimed to investigate the crosstalk between metabolic reprogramming and ferroptosis in MM cells.
Nanjing, China-based Iaso Biotherapeutics Co. Ltd. has bought out global rights to human anti-B cell maturation antigen CAR T Fucaso (equecabtagene autoleucel) from partner Innovent Biologics Inc.

Oncopeptides AB has selected its first candidate drug based on the company’s unique platform for small polypeptide-based innate killer engagers (SPiKE). The SPiKE platform uses multispecific constructs, able to bind to multiple targets simultaneously.
CAR T-cell therapy that targets BCMA is an effective option for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, but there is a lack of persistence due to the inability to develop a memory phenotype.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has obtained clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials in China with the first mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNP)-based CAR T-cell injection, SYS-6020.
Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in multiple myeloma and its prognosis, with the success of antiangiogenic therapies being limited. Exosomes mediate cell-to-cell cross talk during the progression of cancer by transporting their molecular cargo, which include long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs); their role in multiple myeloma was investigated.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an uncurable disease. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells directed to tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, also known as BCMA, have transformed the field, with high response rate and durable remissions, but the access to this therapy is limited by multiple factors.
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most common hematologic malignancy. Proteasome inhibitors are effective in MM, but many patients develop resistance, which is thought to be caused by mutations in the PSMB5 gene.
By a unanimous 12-0 vote, the U.S. FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee concluded that new evidence support the use of minimal residual disease (MRD) as an accelerated approval endpoint in multiple myeloma (MM) clinical trials. The FDA will now consider the recommendation, which, if incorporated into future studies, could dramatically shorten some drug developer timelines and offer more options for treating the aggressive bone marrow cancer.
