We Want to Hear From You!
Feedback Survey At the close of the meeting a feedback survey will pop up. This will also be emailed to you shortly after the workshop. Please take a moment to complete this survey.
Through this virtual seminar, you will learn more and gain a better understanding of the following: What is Immunotherapy? What are monoclonal antibodies? What is CAR T-cell therapy? What are Bispecific Antibodies and how do they work? Are there different types of Bi-specifics? How are bi-specific therapies administered? What are the advantages of bi-specific therapies? What are the side effects of bi-specifics and how are side effects managed? Can they be administered in combination? Where in the treatment paradigm will they be used?

BCMA Targeted Therapies are Associated with an Increased Risk of Infections ▶
Both viral and bacterial
– Up to a 3rd of patients on clinical trials has serious infections (requiring IV antibodies or hospitalization) ▶
Increased risk of serious COVID complications despite history of vaccination
– Antibody levels – Tixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab (EVUSHELD) – Immediate treatment once diagnosed Nirmatrelvir with Ritonavi (Paxlovid) • Start as soon as possible; must begin within 5 days of when symptoms start
Infection Prevention • Avoid crowds • Ensure handwashing, hygiene • Growth factor (eg, filgrastim) • IVIG for hypogammaglobulinemia • Know your healthy IgG level
• Immunizations (No live vaccines)
– COVID-19 vaccination + booster(s) – Pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine – Seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (×2 or high-dose) – Shingles vaccine: zoster vaccine recombinant, adjuvanted
• COVID-19 prevention
– Antibody levels – Tixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab
Prevention: Avoid being exposed to the covid virus Virus spreads from person-to-person through respiratory droplets –
Not infected (Exposed)
–
Respiratory droplets are from coughs, sneezes, talking of an infected person beginning ~2-14 days post exposure More droplets with louder talking, yelling, singing
–
Virus does not live long on surfaces
Close contact (within 6 feet) and indoors increases risk of spread
▶
–
Airflow, ventilation matters
–
~25X less transmission outdoors vs indoors
▶
High quality masks provide a physical barrier that prevents airborne viral spread
–
Especially important for people at increased risk
–
Important in situations where distancing is not possible

*New research shows that 9.8 feet (3 meters) of social distancing are not enough to ensure protection from Covid-19.

Skin Toxicities (Associated with Talquetamab – GPRC5D)
▶
Peeling, thin nails that lift from nail bed

Palmar Plantar Desquamation
• Recommend an OTC nail hardener – Usually painless and presents in first cycle • Topical triamcinolone ointment if inflamed • Treated with ammonium lactate (Lac-Hydrin • Topical vitamin E oil and moisturized cuticles may lotion) be helpful 33

Conclusions •
T cell redirection therapies are generating unprecedented response rates and bispecifics with wide therapeutic index
•
With novel therapies comes unique potential side effects
•
CRS is common and is mitigated with step dosing and prompt intervention
•
Anti BCMA bispecifics have are associated with an increased risk of infection
•
Lack of COVID vaccine response and COVID deaths warrants vaccination prior to start and reinforcement of prophylaxis therapy and prompt treatment for active infection
•
Talquetamab novel agent, lack of infection - oral/skin supportive care cocktail
•
Cevostamab novel agent encouraging, minimal non heme toxicity, ? COVID/infection

Conclusions: Immunotherapy in MM IT has made a dramatic entry into R/R MM space TCEs have potent activity and will be used broadly in MM space ‒ ND MM ‒ Replace SCT (CARTITUDE and KarMMA trials) ‒ Consolidation for <adequate response
‒ Early relapse ‒ R/R MM
Innovation will drive future success ‒ Biomarkers T-cell health ‒ Better combinations: IMiDs, CELMoDs ‒ Best outcome => Limited duration tmt ‒ Final goal => MM CURED!!! Tom Martin
