The highly restricted expression of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) to plasma cells and its role in the survival and growth for multiple myeloma cells makes BCMA a good potential target for enhanced immunotherapeutic strategies. This report describes and analyzes the
Especially activity-enhanced antibodies and cells such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and T-cell redirecting bispecific antibodies as well as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, respectively, will benefit from the high target selectivity of BCMA to avoid on-target, off-tumor toxicity. As a consequence, novel cellular and humoral BCMA-targeted treatment modalities have emerged and resulting product candidates entered first-in-human clinical evaluation. Further development candidates are undergoing IND-enabling studies.
