Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD38 are important for treatment of both newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). Daratumumab isatuximab anti-CD38 with the US Food Drugs Administration approval in different combinations. Despite good initial efficacy, patients inevitably develop drug resistance. Whether can be effectively re-treated these subsequent lines therapy is unclear. Thus far, studies have mostly been limited to clinical retrospectives short washout periods. To answer...

Abstract HIV cure strategies that aim to induce viral reactivation for immune clearance leverage latency reversal agents modulate host pathways which directly or indirectly facilitate reactivation. Inhibition of BET (bromo and extra-terminal domain) family member BRD4 reverses latency, but enthusiasm the use inhibitors in studies is tempered by concerns over inhibition other members dose-limiting toxicities oncology trials. Here we evaluated potential bivalent chemical degraders targeted as...

Abstract T cell–engaging antibodies (TCEs) are showing promising efficacy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, even patients that relapsed after B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy. Patients with myeloma may have compromised T-cell health unaccounted for by preclinical models. Here, we use Myeloma Drug Sensitivity Testing (My-DST) ex vivo measurement of anti-multiple cytotoxicity the trispecific CD38/CD28xCD3 TCE SAR442257 through activation patients’ own endogenous cells...
