    Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) engage T cells to target multiple myeloma (MM) cells, showing promising responses in heavily pre-treated patients.

  • 2

    Current BsAbs target antigens like BCMA and GPRC5D, which are highly expressed on malignant plasma cells, offering potential therapeutic benefits.

  • 3

    BCMA is a key target in MM therapy, with its expression linked to disease progression and poor outcomes, making it a valuable biomarker.

  • 4

    GPRC5D is a novel target that remains unaffected by BCMA loss, allowing for continued treatment options after BCMA therapies fail.

  • 5

    The manageable side effects of BsAbs, including low-grade cytokine release syndrome, enhance their appeal as an addition to existing MM treatments.
