Quad-class exposed/refractory myeloma is associated with short survival

Very scarce data exist about outcomes of relapsed multiple myeloma patients who have failed proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody and therapies targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) (Quad-class exposed [QCE]). In this retrospective single-centre study, we determined progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from anti-BCMA failure in 45 QCE patients. Seven (16%) patients received antibody-drug conjugate, 20 (44%) bispecific antibodies and 18 (40%) CAR-T cell. Thirty patients (67%) received ≥1 subsequent line of treatment. PFS was 4.4 months (95% CI = 2.4-12.5) and OS 6.3 months (95% CI = 3.9-14.4). Having an adverse prognosis, QCE myeloma patients remain an unmet medical need.
