Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06282978 (An Open Label, Multicenter, Phase II Study of Elranatamab as Single Agent for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma in Patients Previously Exposed to Three-drug Classes), which is not on this map. Cited by 35 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

The incorporation of novel agents and monoclonal antibody-based therapies into the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has significantly improved long-term patient survival. However, the disease is still largely incurable, with high-risk patients suffering shorter survival times, partly due to weakened immune systems. Bispecific molecules, including bispecific antibodies (BisAbs) and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), encourage immune cells to lyse MM cells by simultaneously binding antigens on MM cells and immune effector cells, bringing those cells into close proximity. BisAbs that target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and GPRC5D have shown impressive clinical activity, and the results of early-phase clinical trials targeting FcRH5 in patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) are also promising. Furthermore, the safety profile of these agents is favorable, including mainly low-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS). These off-the-shelf bispecific molecules will likely become an essential part of the MM treatment paradigm. Here, we summarize and highlight various bispecific immunotherapies under development in MM treatment, as well as the utility of combining them with current standard-of-care treatments and new strategies. With the advancement of novel combination treatment approaches, these bispecific molecules may lead the way to a cure for MM.
