description Despite significant developments in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) over the past decade, many patients still experience relapse due to resistance to antimyeloma therapies. Particularly in the relapsed/refractory setting, recent treatment advances have resulted in significantly improved prognosis for MM patients. Among novel therapeutic modalities, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs), have achieved remarkable clinical response in patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM). This article discusses the recent progress in anti-BCMA targeted treatments for RRMM, with a focus on currently available agents. PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE
