7542 Background: Teclistamab, a novel bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting CD3 and BCMA, exhibits promising effects for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM). However, rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with this therapy remains inadequately characterized. Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with relapsed refractory MM who received teclistamab or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy (CAR-T) therapy at Mayo Clinic between 12/1/2022-5/15/2023 and who were not in kidney failure at the time of treatment. The primary endpoint was incidence of AKI during follow-up; secondary endpoints included treatment and recovery from AKI. AKI was defined based on Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria as an increase of serum creatinine levels > 1.5 times their baseline value after starting therapy. Cumulative incidences and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate time to event data. Results: A total of 64 patients met inclusion criteria for the study (30 received CAR-T and 34 received teclistamab therapy). There were 14 AKI events occurring during follow-up (10 teclistamab [n = 6 stage 1, n = 3 stage 2 and n = 1 stage 3] and 4 CAR-T [n = 3 stage 1 and n = 1 stage 2]). Cumulative incidence estimates of AKI at 120 days after treatment were 32% (95% CI: 14%-47%) for teclistamab patients and 10% (95% CI: 0%-21%) for CAR-T patients. While patients receiving teclistamab were found to be at increased risk of an incident AKI event compared to patients receiving CAR-T therapy, results were not statistically significant (HR (95% CI): 3.38 (0.93-12.31), p = 0.065). Median time to development of AKI was 30 days (IQR 16, 73) in teclistamab and 59 days (IQR 9, 146) in CAR-T patients. Among the 10 patients in the teclistamab group with an AKI event, 4 (40%) had complete renal recovery and 4 (40%) had partial recovery, while among the 4 patients with CAR-T with an AKI event, 2 (50%) experienced complete renal recovery and 2 (50%) experienced partial recovery. Conclusions: Our study showed that almost one third of patients receiving teclistamab therapy for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma experienced an incident AKI event during follow-up. This finding underscores the importance of monitoring for kidney function in these patients.

7541 Background: ABBV-383 is a fully human, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) × CD3 T-cell–engaging IgG4 bispecific with an effector-silenced Fc region, 2 high-affinity BCMA- and a low-affinity CD3-binding domains. ABBV-383 monotherapy has shown promising activity in patients (pts) with RRMM (Blood 2023;142[suppl 1]:3378). Here, exposure-response (ER) analyses of efficacy and safety endpoints supporting the optimal therapeutic ABBV-383 dose selection are reported in alignment with US FDA’s Project Optimus. Methods: Efficacy (n=218) and safety (n=220) data from the phase 1 study (NCT03933735) escalation cohorts of 0.025 - 120 mg Q3W and expansion cohorts of 20, 40, 60 mg Q3W and 60 mg Q4W including objective response rate (ORR), very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), stringent complete response (sCR)/CR, adverse events (≥G3 and serious), infections (≥G3, overall and serious), cytokine release syndrome (CRS; any-grade, G1, G2, and ≥G2) were modeled. Total(unbound + bound to soluble BCMA) and free (unbound + partially bound to soluble BCMA) Cycle 1 AUCinf, Cmax, and Ctrough and population pharmacokinetic model-derived up to the time of event Cavg and avgCtrough metrics were utilized in the ER analyses (logistic regression; R Version 4.2.2). Relevant pt-specific covariates were tested. Dexamethasone premedication (36 vs 10 mg) was included in CRS models. The ER relationships were utilized to predict the probabilities of efficacy and safety endpoints for relevant doses and thereby, support justification of the optimal therapeutic dose selection. Results: Based on overall assessment, ORR, ≥VGPR, sCR/CR and ≥G3 neutropenia strongly correlated with free Cavg; CRS endpoints (any-grade CRS and G1 only CRS) strongly correlated with Cycle 1 total Cmax (p <0.05). No other endpoints had ER relationships (p >0.05). Only MM type (IgG vs Others) was selected in ≥VGPR and sCR/CR models. ER relationships suggested high response rates of >63% ORR, >53% ≥VGPR, and ≥30% sCR/CR for 40, 60 mg Q3W and 60 mg Q4W. Predictions demonstrated that 20 mg Q3W (<39% ORR and ≥VGPR; <13% sCR/CR) and untested 40 mg Q4W (<60% ORR, <45% ≥VGPR and <23% sCR/CR) provide suboptimal efficacy. The 60 mg Q4W with 36 mg dexamethasone in Cycle1 (limited follow-up and data) was predicted to have ~30% sCR/CR and 31% ≥G3 neutropenia (≈ 40 mg Q3W) and substantially lower any-grade CRS events compared with 40 and 60 mg doses with 10 mg dexamethasone in Cycle 1. Conclusions: While ER analyses indicated promising efficacy and acceptable safety profiles for 40, 60 mg Q3W, and 60 mg Q4W, they support 60 mg Q4W as the optimal ABBV-383 therapeutic dose due to its predicted better therapeutic benefit/risk profile (high response rates, improved/equivalent ≥G3 neutropenia, and lower CRS events) and extended dosing interval. ABBV-383 at 60 mg Q4W will be investigated in the registrational phase 3 trial (NCT06158841) in RRMM.

7533 Background: Maintenance treatment (rx) with lenalidomide (R) improves overall survival (OS) in multiple myeloma (MM). We report a retrospective cohort of patients (pts) with second primary B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnosed after R-rx for MM. Methods: We included pts who were exposed to at least 1 yr of R for MM rx prior to ALL dx. After approval by institutional review board, data were collected by chart review at participating centers using Redcap. OS was the primary endpoint. We used BlueSky statistics v10.3.1 for analysis. Results: Analysis included 33 ALL pts diagnosed from 2014-2022 at 7 sites. 52% pts were female. Median follow up was 9.6 yrs (95%CI,7.6-11.8) from MM dx and 3.2 yrs (CI, 2.1-4.7) from ALL dx. Pt characteristics at MM dx are given in Table. Induction rx included: proteasome inhibitor (PI) +immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) (43%), PI+alkylator (24%), IMiD (18%) & others (15%). 50% pts received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Median OS from MM dx was 11.2 yrs (CI, 8.9-NR). Time from MM dx and initial R rx to ALL dx were 5.0 yrs (range, 2.4-18.5) and 4.4 yrs (2.2-10.6) respectively. Median duration of R exposure before ALL dx was 3.8 yrs (1.6-10.4). Table shows characteristics of pts at B-ALL dx and genetic classification based on karyotyping (n=30), ALL FISH (n=28), chromosomal microarray (n=5) and next-generation sequencing (n=5). 31 pts received ALL-directed rx while 1 pt was initially managed with close observation as the pt attained CR on stopping R ( Lakshman et al; ASH 2019 ). Rx was unknown in 1 pt. Initial rx included: hyper-CVAD+/- rituximab- 49%, pediatric inspired protocols-18%, reduced intensity rx for frail pts- 21% and others- 12%. Response to first line rx were: CR- 56%, CRi- 28%, induction failure- 16%. 32% pts attained measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity. 48% pts underwent SCT for ALL. 14 pts died during follow up. 3-yr OS from ALL-dx was 50% (CI, 33%-76%). 3 pts required rx for MM after ALL diagnosis (2 had allo-SCT for ALL before MM relapse). Conclusions: Most pts had standard risk MM and were exposed to R for several years prior to dx of B-ALL, characterized by high incidence of hypodiploid karyotype; IKZF1 loss and TP53 deletions/mutations were detected in a subset of pts.MRD-adapted timely discontinuation of R in standard risk MM may decrease risk of second primary ALL.

7532 Background: ABBV-383 is a BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody with 2 high-affinity BCMA-binding domains and a low-affinity CD3 engaging arm that has been shown to decrease the negative impact of soluble BCMA (sBCMA) and drive sustained T-cell activation with reduced cytokine release in preclinical models of MM. Here, we describe correlative biomarker results of baseline and longitudinal sBCMA levels and immune profiles in the ongoing first-in-human trial that supports 60 mg Q4W as the optimal therapeutic dose of ABBV-383 monotherapy. Methods: Peripheral blood and serum samples from patients with RRMM enrolled in the phase 1 open-label, dose-expansion study (NCT03933735) who received ABBV-383 at 20, 40, or 60 mg Q3W or 60 mg Q4W were collected at baseline (post-dexamethasone, pre–ABBV-383), on treatment, and at disease progression. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry for immune cell populations, Luminex for cytokines, and electrochemiluminescence ligand binding for sBCMA. Results: Median sBCMA levels at baseline were highly variable among patients, but did not associate with clinical response (≥ partial response [PR]) to ABBV-383 at the selected optimal dose level of 60 mg Q4W (<PR: 244.7 ng/mL; ≥PR: 52.2 ng/mL; P=0.13). Reduction in sBCMA levels over time associated with clinical response (Cmin at cycle 5: <PR, 244.7 ng/mL; ≥PR, 4.7 ng/mL; P=0.04). ABBV-383 treatment led to a rapid and transient increase of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α (Cmax within cycle 1: 29, 349.5, 1375, 456.5 pg/mL, respectively), and promoted T-cell redistribution (89% reduction of CD8+ T cells from periphery), activation (1.9-fold increase in CD69+CD8+ T cells), and proliferation (2-fold increase in Ki67+CD8+ T cells) within cycle 1 in 60-mg Q4W-treated patients. The frequency of baseline CD8+ T-cell exhaustion (PD-1/TIM3) did not impact clinical response at the optimal dose level of 60 mg Q4W ABBV-383 (<PR: 3.5%; ≥PR: 3.9%; P=0.9). Peak induction levels of proinflammatory cytokines during cycle 1 correlated with occurrence of cytokine release syndrome (≥G1) as well as clinical response across dose levels. Conclusions: High-avidity BCMA binding coupled to low-affinity T-cell engagement distinguishes the resulting mechanism of action for ABBV-383. Responses to 60 mg Q4W ABBV-383 were independent of baseline sBCMA levels and resulted in rapid and transient proinflammatory cytokine production that promoted robust T-cell redistribution, activation, and proliferation, indicating that the optimal dose of ABBV-383 maximizes its clinical potential as a convenient, safe, and effective therapy for MM.

7531 Background: MM eventually becomes refractory to current treatments, and new therapeutic options with convenient dosing and improved safety are needed to enhance patient (pt) adherence, access, and outcomes. ABBV-383 is a distinctive next-generation BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody composed of 2 high-affinity BCMA-binding domains, a low-affinity CD3-binding domain designed to reduce cytokine release syndrome (CRS) risk, and a silenced Fc tail for an extended half-life allowing convenient dosing. ABBV-383 monotherapy has shown promising activity in the ongoing first-in-human phase 1 trial in RRMM (Vij et al. Blood 2023;142[suppl 1]:3378). Here, safety and efficacy results are reported that support the RP2D of 60mg Q4W as the optimal therapeutic ABBV-383 monotherapy dose. Methods: This phase 1 open-label, dose-escalation/expansion trial (NCT03933735) enrolled pts with RRMM who received ≥3 prior lines of therapy with exposure to PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 mAb. ABBV-383 regimens explored in the expansion phase included 60mg Q4W and 40 or 60mg Q3W. A modified dexamethasone premedication schedule and shortened CRS monitoring period were implemented in the 60mg Q4W cohort for cycle 1. IV ABBV-383 was administered as a flat dose with no step-up schedule. Treatment was continued until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Primary objectives were to assess safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and determine the RP2D. Efficacy evaluation was a secondary objective. TEAEs were assessed per CTCAE v5.0 and tumor response per IMWG 2016 criteria. Results: As of May 2023, 220 pts received ABBV-383 (median age: 68 yr [35–92]; median prior therapy lines: 5 [3‒23]). Median FU was 4.1 mo (0.8–5.2) at 60mg Q4W (n=21), 12.2 mo (1.3–34.4) at 40mg Q3W (n=55), and 24.2 mo (0.6–33.4) at 60mg Q3W (n=61). At 60mg Q4W, with the modified premedication regimen, CRS was reported in 43% of pts (38% G1, 5% G2), and ICANS in 5% of pts (G2). In Q3W cohorts, CRS was reported in 71% (40mg; 45% G1, 25% G2) and 70% (60mg; 51% G1, 18% G2, 2% G3) of pts. The incidence of G3/4 neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia was 14/24/10% at 60mg Q4W, 31/31/16% at 40mg Q3W, and 34/13/13% at 60mg Q3W. G3/4 infections occurred in 10/24/34% of pts at 60mg Q4W, 40mg and 60mg Q3W, respectively. ORR and ≥VGPR were 65/50% at 60mg Q4W, 64/53% at 40mg Q3W, and 60/52% at 60mg Q3W. Corresponding exposure-response (ER) analyses and correlative analyses further supported RP2D determination (separate abstract submissions). Conclusions: The optimal therapeutic dose of 60mg Q4W ABBV-383 monotherapy was selected on the basis of safety, efficacy, and ER analyses. The extended interval of Q4W, with a shortened CRS monitoring period in cycle 1 and no step-up dosing, will improve convenience and reduce the treatment burden for pts. ABBV-383 at 60mg Q4W will be investigated in the registrational phase 3 trial (NCT06158841) in RRMM. Clinical trial information: NCT03933735 .

7529 Background: iAEs, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), can occur after infusion of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies such as ide-cel, but are typically low-grade and manageable with tocilizumab and corticosteroids. Although high-grade iAEs are rare with ide-cel, identification of patients at increased risk may improve management and remains an unmet need. Three composite biomarkers (multivariate models) of iAE risk were previously developed in a discovery cohort from the KarMMa and KarMMa-2 studies of ide-cel in RRMM (Mashadi-Hossein A, et al. J Clin Oncol 2023;41(16_suppl):e20005). Here, we validate these 3 prototype models for risk of developing high-grade iAEs after ide-cel infusion. Methods: Two models used pretreatment patient and routine clinical laboratory parameters; the third model also included change in 6 exploratory cytokines from baseline to 1 day following ide-cel infusion. To validate, each model was retrospectively applied to KarMMa-3 (NCT03651128) data in a blinded fashion, and sensitivity and specificity to identify grade ≥3 CRS and any-grade MAS were determined. Model performance thresholds used for sensitivity and specificity were 90% and 50%, respectively. Performance for identifying grade 2 CRS was also analyzed post hoc. Results: The first and simplest model comprised a manual algorithm with 7 features; it identified patients with grade ≥3 CRS or MAS with 85% sensitivity and 60% specificity. The second model comprised 19 routinely measured pretreatment features; it identified grade ≥3 CRS with 91% sensitivity and 59% specificity, and any-grade MAS with 60% sensitivity and 88% specificity. The third and most complex model comprised 7 pretreatment clinical features and 6 exploratory cytokines; it identified grade ≥3 CRS with 100% sensitivity and 51% specificity, and any-grade MAS with 100% sensitivity and 81% specificity. None of the models identified grade ≥2 CRS with passable sensitivity or specificity. Clustering analyses across all features showed that only a subset of grade 2 CRS cases was within the previously identified high-risk iAE cluster while the remaining grade 2 CRS cases were spread across other clusters. Conclusions: Two of the 3 composite biomarkers met validation criteria for grade ≥3 CRS risk. Criteria were not met for grade 2 CRS, suggesting these models are specific to higher-grade events and that grade 2 CRS represents a more heterogeneous group of patients. While high-grade iAEs are rare with ide-cel, these models may further optimize the robust benefit–risk profile that ide-cel has demonstrated by helping identify, prior to or shortly after infusion, patients most at risk for severe events.

7522 Background: Elranatamab (ELRA) is a humanized BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody. In the phase 2 registrational MagnetisMM-3 (MM-3) trial, SC ELRA was given as 2 step-up priming doses (12 mg on C1D1 and 32 mg on C1D4) followed by 76 mg QW in patients (pts) with RRMM. Overall, 56.3% of pts had CRS (grade 2, 14.3%; no grade ≥3). Most events occurred after doses 1 (44.5%), 2 (20.2%), and 3 (5.9%); 0.8% (1 pt) had CRS with doses 4+. Recurrent CRS (>1 event) occurred in 15.1% of pts (Lesokhin Nat Med 2023). Methods: MagnetisMM-9 (MM-9; NCT05014412) is a phase 1/2, open-label, nonrandomized study of ELRA examining an alternative 2-dose step-up priming regimen (4 and 20 mg on C1D1 and C1D4, respectively). Eligible pts had RRMM and were refractory to ≥1 IMiD, ≥1 PI, and ≥1 anti-CD38 antibody. After the priming doses, ELRA 76 mg was given QW for 6 cycles (Part 1) or for 1 cycle followed by 116 or 152 mg Q2W for 5 cycles (Part 2A). The RP2D from Part 2A (152 mg) was evaluated in Part 2B (dose expansion). The rate of grade ≥2 CRS per ASTCT criteria during C1 is the primary endpoint for both parts. Secondary endpoints include evaluation of AEs and PK. Here, we report the overall safety and CRS profile associated with the 4/20 mg priming regimen. Results: For 85 treated pts, median age was 64.0 y; 49.4% were male; 23.5% had EMD; 31.8% had high-risk cytogenetics. Pts had a median of 5.0 (range, 1-12) prior LOTs; 85.9% had triple-class refractory disease. After a median follow-up of 7.4 mo, the most common (>50%) AEs were CRS (63.5%; grade ≥2, 15.3%) and neutropenia (54.1%; all grade ≥2). ICANS occurred in 4.7% of pts (all grade ≤2). The grade ≥2 CRS rate in C1 was 14.1% (90% CI, 8.4-21.9). CRS rates after the first 3 doses are in the the table. For doses 4+, any grade (grade ≥2) CRS was observed in 10.6% (3.5%) of pts overall, 12.1% (3.0%) of pts continuing to receive 76 mg (n=33), 25.0% (0%) of pts receiving 116 mg (n=12), and 5.0% (5.0%) of pts receiving 152 mg (RP2D; n=40). Overall, recurrent CRS was observed in 20.0% of pts. The geometric means (CV%) of free ELRA concentrations 24 h (Cmax-24h) after step-up doses 1 and 2 were 85.64 (48%) and 242.8 (55%). Conclusions: The 4/20 mg step-up priming regimen and alternative dosing schedules resulted in similar safety and incidence of overall and grade ≥2 CRS events vs the regimen used in MM-3 (12/32 mg), with no new safety signals identified. However, the CRS profile in this study differed, with more CRS after doses 2, 3, and 4+ and a higher prevalence of recurrent CRS. The Cmax-24h of free ELRA (CV%) after the priming doses were lower than those in MM-3 (107.4 [47%] and 405.1 [72%], respectively). Thus, the priming regimen used in MM-3 remains the optimal regimen for mitigating CRS. Future analyses of ongoing studies will be used to confirm these results.

7520 Background: There are 2 CAR-T products and 3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) that are FDA-approved for patients (pts) with relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Clinical trials experience to date suggests that clinical response of BsAb is less impacted after CAR-T therapy. We examined the outcome of pts who received BsAb in standard-of-care (SOC) practice at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Methods: Retrospective analysis of MM patients who received FDA-approved BsAb at Mayo Clinic, Rochester between 12/2022- 1/2024. IMWG criteria was used for clinical response. Results: Sixty-two patients received BsAbs: 77% (48/62) received teclistamab, and 23% (14/62) received talquetamab. Median age was 62 years (range: 33-81), 60% (37/62) were males, and 45% (28/62) received prior CAR-T. Patients who had prior CAR-T therapy had more prior lines of therapy compared to those who did not. Overall, ORR to teclistamab was 61%, which is comparable to previous studies and other real-world reports. ORR and ≥CR rates were comparable between patients with and without prior CAR-T (Table). Of the 28 pts who received CAR-T before BsAbs, 61% (17/28) received idecabtagene vicleucel, 10% (3/28) were ciltacabtagene autoleucel, and 29% (8/28) on clinical trial. We then compared outcome of BsAb between pts who had relapsed from CAR-T within 1 year (n=21, median PFS: 8.84 months (range, 1.12, 10.84)) or after 1 year (n=7, median PFS: 16.62 months (range, 13.30, 36.20)). At the time of BsAb infusion, pts with who relapsed < 1 year vs ≥1 year post CAR-T had comparable blood counts, ALC, M-protein and involved FLC levels, CRP, ferritin and LDH. BsAb CR/sCR rate was significantly higher in pts with disease relapse ≥1 year compared to <1 year post CAR-T (57% vs 14%, p=0.02). Conclusions: Irrespective of prior CAR-T exposure, BsAb have clinical activity in SOC practice in pts with MM. Our preliminary data suggest that responses to BsAbs are better in pts with late compared to early relapse post CAR-T. Longer follow-up is needed to understand the duration of response. Larger, multi-center studies with longer follow-up will help identify factors that impact BsAb response post CAR-T.[Table: see text]

7516 Background: Immune effector cell hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis IEC-HS is a complication of CAR T cell therapy (CART). This study aims to look at the outcomes of CART patients who develop IEC-HS. Methods: Patients who developed IEC-HS after receiving CART and patients who developed IEC-HS without (nonCART) between December 2020 and March 2022 were included. Results: The 20 CART patients were older than the 25 nonCART patients. Peak ferritin, fibrinogen, CRP, serum creatinine and transaminases were similar between the 2 group. CART patients had lower white blood cell count and platelets and bilirubin than the nonCART patients. CART patients were more like to have markedly elevated IL-6 levels (> 315 mg/ml), higher IL-18, higher MCP-1, and suppressed IL-1β and GMCSF than nonCART patients (Table). Treatment of IEC-HS included tocilizumab (n = 19), anakinra (n = 18) siltuximab (n = 4) and basiliximab (n = 4), dexamethasone (n = 18) methylprednisolone (n = 6), etoposide (n = 1) and ruxolitinib (n = 1). A significant response defined by a 90% reduction or normalization of the cytokine was observed with IL-10 and IFN-ϒ in 92.3% and 84.6% of the CART patients respectively. An intermediate response was noted with TNF, IL-6, MCP-1 and MIP-1 in 38.4%, 30.8% and 61.6% and 38.5% of the patients respectively. No patient had a significant response in IL-2Rα or IL-1β and only 7.7% had a significant response in IL-18. Of the 5 patients who had a MIP-1 response, 4 were on basiliximab +/- high flow continuous venovenous hemofiltration and the only patient that had an IL-18 response was on both modalities. The 100-day mortality after IEC-HS in the CART patients was 40% and was associated with higher peak and lower best ferritin but not the percentage reduction (Table). Higher TNF (90.3 pg/ml vs 37.2 pg/ml, p = 0.05), markedly elevated levels of IL-6 (92% vs 50%, p = 0.03) and IL-10 (33% vs 0%) and an IL-6 response (44.4% vs 0%) were associated with survival at day 100. IL-6 responders had lower peak ferritin vs IL-6 nonresponders (14066 mcg/L vs 45051 mcg/L, p = 0.08). Enterococcus faecium bacteremia developed in 75% of the nonsurvivors vs 16.6% of the 100-day survivors (p = 0.009). Survivors cleared the enterococcus bacteremia within days while nonsurvivors had protracted bacteremia. Conclusions: IEC-HS is devastating complication of CART. Anti-cytokine therapy can reduce some cytokines and ferritin but overimmunosuppression may lead infectious complication, in particular with E. faecium. Better biomarkers are needed to finetune immunosuppressive therapy in order to avoid over-immunosuppression. [Table: see text]

7515 Background: BCMA directed CAR T cells, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and T cell engagers (TCEs) each have distinct strengths and weaknesses. While these agents have shown unprecedented response rates and survival outcomes, no head-head comparisons exist. We assessed the relative efficacy of different BCMA-therapies in relapsed myeloma, with a focus on high-risk subgroups. Methods: Retrospective study of MM patients treated at Mayo Clinic with commercial or investigational BCMA targeted therapies between April 2018-June 2023. Results: 385 patients (ADC=59, TCE=134, CAR T=192) with a median follow up of 20-months. The median time from diagnosis was 6.1 years. The table shows disease, and treatment characteristics. Amongst ADCs and TCEs recipients, the median treatment duration was 1.9 and 3.5 months respectively, disease progression (64% and 79%) and intolerance (22% and 10%) were the most common reasons for discontinuation. The overall response rates were 27, 50, and 86% for ADCs, TCEs and CAR T, respectively. Compared to ADCs, CAR T was associated with improved PFS (adjusted HRPFS=0.29, 95%CI=0.20-0.43) and OS (aHROS=0.28, 95%CI=0.18-0.44) when adjusting for age, R-ISS, double hit high risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs), extramedullary disease (EMD, excluding paraskeletal plasmacytomas), triple class refractoriness, and the number of lines of therapy (LOTs) received in the preceding 1 year. Likewise compared to ADCs, TCEs were associated with superior PFS (aHRPFS=0.59, 95%CI=0.40-0.86) and OS (aHROS=0.60, 95%CI=0.39-0.93). Amongst patients with plasma cell leukemia (PCL) or EMD at the time of BCMA therapy (n=123), median PFS was poor irrespective of the therapeutic class at 1.3, 1.7 and 6.1 months for ADCs, TCEs and CAR T, respectively. Equally, for patients previously treated with BCMA therapy (n=58), median PFS was poor regardless of class at 1.9, 2.4 and 3 months for ADCs, TCEs and CAR T, respectively. Of 229 relapses the mode of relapse was known in 192 cases (84%), with 101 (52%) having EMD at relapse. Conclusions: While contingent on myriad other factors, patients able to receive BCMA-directed CAR T therapy experience superior survival compared to ADC and TCEs. EMD, PCL and BCMA-exposed populations are recalcitrant to BCMA-directed immunotherapy, and EMD is a common means of relapse. [Table: see text]
