- Significant Efficacy: In the CARTITUDE-4 study, 80% of standard-risk multiple myeloma patients remained progression-free at 30 months after receiving CARVYKTI®, demonstrating the therapy's durable efficacy and treatment potential.
- Enhanced Immune Fitness: Patients treated earlier exhibited improved immune fitness, with correlational analyses suggesting that enhanced immune cell profiles are associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS), potentially shifting treatment paradigms.
- Robust Clinical Data: Over 9,000 patients globally have been treated with CARVYKTI®, and the accumulated clinical and real-world data provide a solid foundation for expanding its use, likely driving its application in earlier treatment settings.
- Broad Research Implications: The findings from the CARTITUDE-4 study offer new insights into the application of CARVYKTI® in multiple myeloma treatment, potentially enabling earlier interventions that could improve long-term remission rates.
