Read the transcript

Multiple myeloma keeps coming back. CAR T cells against a marker called BCMA can clear it for a time, but most patients eventually relapse.

The idea: armor the cells against the signal the tumor uses to switch them off.

Myeloma bone marrow is rich in TGF-beta, a molecule that quiets immune cells. Here, a patient's T cells receive the BCMA receptor plus a change that makes them insensitive to TGF-beta, so they keep working where ordinary CAR T cells are dampened. The cells are grown with interleukin-7 and -15, favoring younger, longer-lived cells.

An early dose-finding trial in adults after three or more prior therapies, including prior BCMA drugs.
