Deep dives

Idocel (BB-2121) as a BCMA CAR-T cell therapy for multiple myeloma

Idocel, also known as BB-2121, is an investigational chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy that targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) in patients with multiple myeloma. The therapy has shown promising overall response rates and median progression-free survival in phase one and two trials. The updated data from the CRB-401 study revealed a median progression-free survival of 8.8 months and an overall survival of 34.2 months. Based on these positive results, Idocel has received FDA approval as the first cell-based gene therapy for multiple myeloma.
