Yan Leyfman: Long-Term Hope in RRMM

Yan Leyfman, Co-founder and Executive Director of MedNews Week, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Sundar Jagannath et al. published in Journal of Clinical Oncology:

“Long-term hope in RRMM:

Final results from CARTITUDE-1 show ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) delivers deep, durable responses in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Key Highlights:

  • Median OS: 60.7 months
  • 1/3 of patients (32/97) are alive and progression-free ≥5 years after a single infusion, with no maintenance
  • All assessed long-term responders were MRD- and PET/CT-negative at year 5+
  • Favorable biomarkers: lower tumor burden, higher naïve T cells, better T/N ratio and hematologic parameters
  • Safety remained consistent

First data suggesting curative potential of cilta-cel in RRMM.”
