Expert Illustrations & Commentaries™: Roles and Rationales for BCMA-Directed Therapies in Multiple Myeloma

Release Date: December 23, 2021
Expiration Date: December 23, 2022

Activity Overview

This Expert Illustrations and CommentariesTM online activity is a video-based program in which 2 experts discuss emerging treatments in multiple myeloma (MM), namely B-cell directed maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy. In this activity, the faculty focus on treatments for both newly diagnosed (ND) and relapsed/refractory (RR) multiple myeloma. Their discussion is enriched with the addition of video animations to illustrate the mechanism of action of various BCMA therapies, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTE), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell agents. This unique format is designed to help clinicians understand the mechanism of emerging agents to identify best practices in the treatment of MM and to improve outcomes for their patients with this disease.
