New study in Blood Advances led by Rahul Banerjee & Gurbakhash Kaur challenges the 8-week driving restriction for patients receiving CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma (MM). Researchers analyzed 586 patients and found that only 1% experienced driving-relevant adverse events (drAEs) between Weeks 5-8

Universal driving restrictions beyond 4 weeks appear unnecessary following CAR-T therapy in multiple myeloma

My takeaways from RedirecTT-1 (tal/tec dual bsAbs in myeloma #MMsm) for @fredhutch journal watch. [Images but technically no memes in my talk 😉] Efficacy & safety profiles are both striking! I can't help but wonder what earlier IVIG and bsAb de-escalation might have done.

When I started they all started “We have done thousands of trials in the last 3 decades and none have significant improved survival”, now if we could only stop saying it is incurable. True for the majority but there is a small group that should be acknowledged or at least debated even in IMID/PI era

Almost every review I've ever read about myeloma #MMsm starts with something (true) like, "Recent advances in myeloma have led to significant improvements in..." Quite a jolt to see how different the prognosis was for myeloma 60 years ago... and how these papers used to begin!
