Targeting BCMA in multiple myeloma with a trifunctional NK cell engager.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common hematologic malignancy, remains incurable, highlighting the need for durable therapies. Natural killer (NK) cell engagers (NKCEs) represent a promising alternative to T cell therapies, offering potent anti-tumor activity with limited cytokine release. SAR445514 (SAR'514) is a trifunctional NKCE that co-engages NKp46 and FcγRIIIa to activate NK cells while targeting B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on MM cells. After exploring several molecular formats with varied BCMA and NKp46 valency, we selected SAR'514, a monovalent format with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). SAR'514 has potent and selective anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo, outperforming other FcγRIIIa-immune cell engagers, while inducing minimal cytokine release compared to T cell engagers targeting the same antigen. Ex vivo, SAR'514 efficiently activates NK cells from MM patients and induces cytotoxicity against autologous malignant cells, including those resistant to standard therapies. These findings support further development of SAR'514.
