ASTCT Committee on Practice Guidelines Survey on Evaluation and Management of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma after Failure of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has revolutionized the management of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, CAR-T treatment failure is not uncommon and remains a major therapeutic challenge. There is substantial variability across transplantation and cellular therapy programs in assessing and managing post-CAR-T failures in patients with RRMM. The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Committee on Practice Guidelines conducted an online cross-sectional survey between September 2023 and December 2023 to determine myeloma, transplantation, and cellular therapy physicians' practice patterns for the surveillance, diagnosis, and management of CAR-T failure. The intent of this survey was to understand clinical practice patterns and identify areas for further investigation. Email surveys were sent to 1311 ASTCT physician members, of whom 80 (6.1%) completed the survey. The respondents were 58% white and 66% male, and 51% had >10 years of clinical experience. Most (89%) respondents were affiliated with a university/teaching center, and 56% had a myeloma-focused transplantation and/or cellular therapy practice. Post-CAR-T surveillance laboratory studies were commonly done every 4 weeks, and surveillance bone marrow biopsies and/or imaging surveillance were most commonly done at 3 months. Sixty-four percent of the respondents would often or always consider biopsy or imaging to confirm relapse. The most popular post-CAR-T failure rescue regimen was GPRC5D-directed immunotherapy (30%) for relapses occurring ≤3 months and BCMA-directed bispecific therapies (32.5%) for relapse at >3 months. Forty-one percent of the respondents endorsed post-CAR-T prolonged cytopenia as being "often" or "always" a barrier to next-line therapy; 53% had offered stem cell boost as a mitigation approach. Substantial across-center variation in practice patterns raises the need for collaborative studies and expert clinical recommendations to describe best practices for post-CAR-T disease surveillance, optimal workup for treatment failure, and choice of rescue therapies.
