Consider ABECMA for eligible patients with RRMM, including those with a poor prognosis.

*Presence of t(4:14), t(14:16), and 17p13 del.
Three patients had ECOG performance status of <2 at screening for eligibility but subsequently deteriorated to ECOG performance status of ≥2 at baseline prior to start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
Baseline cytogenetic abnormality was based on baseline cytogenetics from central laboratory if available. If central laboratory was not available or was unknown, cytogenetics prior to screening was used.
§Revised ISS was derived using baseline ISS stage, cytogenetic abnormality, and serum lactate dehydrogenase.
||Induction with or without hematopoietic SCT and with or without maintenance therapy was considered a single regimen.

CAR=chimeric antigen receptor; ECOG=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; ISS=International Staging System; MM=multiple myeloma; RRMM=relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma; SCT=stem cell transplant.
