China’s CAR-T cell therapy has emerged as a highly effective and proactive option for treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, bringing new hope to patients facing limited treatment options. This innovative therapy has shown significant effectiveness in clinical practice, offering renewed optimism to both patients and doctors.

Recently, a team of hematology experts from Zhejiang Hospital visited a 72-year-old multiple myeloma patient who had just begun treatment with a domestically developed CAR-T therapy targeting BCMA. This patient, suffering from severe bone pain and difficulty walking, sought help from the Advanced Medicine In China team. Following a thorough consultation, the experts arranged for the patient’s hospitalization. After multiple rounds of traditional chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant, the disease had unfortunately relapsed, prompting the medical team to recommend CAR-T therapy as an alternative.

As one of the first in China to implement CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma, Zhejiang’s hematology team has accumulated significant clinical experience with this treatment. “The patient’s overall response to treatment has been very positive,” said one of the experts, noting that follow-up examinations showed stable results, confirming the therapy’s efficacy and safety.

Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder primarily affecting older adults; however, it has been seen with increasing frequency in younger patients, including some in their forties. While the disease remains incurable, recent advancements in new drugs and treatment options have greatly improved patient survival times and quality of life.

CAR-T therapy, or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, involves extracting a patient’s own T cells and genetically modifying them to “weaponize” them against cancer cells. Once modified, these T cells are expanded in number outside the body and reintroduced into the patient, where they can further proliferate and continually attack tumor cells. Given the wealth of experience and demonstrated effectiveness of CAR-T therapy in China, it has shown promise in delivering better quality and duration of survival for patients.

The development of CAR-T therapy in China has advanced rapidly, with two CAR-T products now approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Experts emphasize that patients should seek guidance from highly experienced medical professionals in selecting the most suitable CAR-T therapy to ensure optimal effectiveness and treatment safety.

🎉🎉To assess whether the condition is suitable for CAR-T therapy, you can submit pathology reports, treatment history, and discharge summaries to the Medical Department of <Advanced Medicine in China> for preliminary evaluation!
