Deep dives

Efficacy and Response Rates of Bi-Specific Antibodies

Bi-specific antibodies show high efficacy with around two-thirds of patients responding and one-third achieving complete remission, even in heavily pre-treated populations. Results indicate promising efficacy comparable to CAR-T therapy, especially after previous BCMA targeting therapies. Alternative targeting strategies like GPRC5D also show promising activity, suggesting the potential for sequence or combination treatments.
