Event Description

Dirk Hose, MD Anja Seckinger, MD Interview Date: May 24, 2017 

Many myeloma patients are familiar with monoclonal antibodies, or antibodies that target a specific protein on the surface of myeloma cells. Researchers Dr. Dirk Hose and Dr. Anja Seckinger of the University of Heidelberg in Germany are working on a new bi-specific antibody that joins a powerful myeloma-killing T cell with the target BCMA to selectively target myeloma cells. BCMA is found on many myeloma cells and has become a popular target for a variety of immunotherapies. On a single myeloma cell, over 2,000 BCMA molecules can be present. This is an off-the-shelf approach and impacts myeloma regardless of specific myeloma genetic features.  Watch for clinical trials using this new tool in early 2018.  Dr. Dirk Hose and Dr. Anja Seckinger on Myeloma Crowd Radio
