CAR-T-cell therapy and bispecific antibody have revolutionized the treatment landscape for multiple myeloma. However, there is currently a lack of studies comparing the efficacy and safety of these two approaches. This meta-analysis assesses the efficacy and safety of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CAR-T-cell therapies and BCMA×CD3 bispecific antibodies as third-line or later interventions for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases up to May 31, 2024, identifying 11 eligible studies encompassing 1269 participants. Random-effects models evaluated the primary (complete response (CR) rate) and secondary (overall response rate (ORR)) outcomes, while meta-regression analyses adjusted for relevant covariates.
CAR-T-cell therapy achieved significantly higher pooled CR rate (0.54 (95% CI 0.42-0.69) vs bispecific antibodies 0.35 (0.30-0.41), p<0.01) and pooled ORR (0.83 (0.76-0.90) vs 0.65 (0.59-0.71), p<0.01). However, CAR-T therapy had a higher incidence of adverse events, particularly cytokine release syndrome (CRS 0.83 (0.70-0.97) vs bispecific antibodies 0.59 (0.43-0.74), p<0.05). Severe CRS (grade ≥3) occurred at a rate of 0.07 (0.03-0.14) in the CAR-T cell group, contrasting with a negligible rate of 0.01 (0.00-0.02) in the bispecific antibody group (p<0.01). Hematologic adverse events, including neutropenia (grade ≥3; 0.88 (0.81-0.95) vs 0.48 (0.30-0.67), p<0.01) and anemia (grade≥3; 0.55 (0.47-0.62) vs 0.34 (0.28 to 0.40), p<0.01), were also more frequent in the CAR-T-cell group. Furthermore, differences in efficacy were observed among various CAR-T products, with ciltacabtagene autoleucel showing greater efficacy in CR rate (0.77 (0.71-0.84) vs 0.37 (0.32-0.41), p<0.01) and ORR (0.91 (0.83-0.99) vs 0.73 (0.68-0.77), p<0.01) compared with idecabtagene vicleucel.
CAR-T-cell therapy demonstrated superior CR rates compared with bispecific antibodies, although with an increase in severe adverse events.
嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法和双特异性抗体已经彻底改变了多发性骨髓瘤的治疗格局。然而,目前缺乏比较这两种方法疗效和安全性的研究。本荟萃分析评估了 B 细胞成熟抗原(BCMA)导向的嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法和 BCMA×CD3 双特异性抗体作为三线或三线以上治疗复发/难治性多发性骨髓瘤(RRMM)的疗效和安全性。
我们检索了 PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Cochrane 数据库,截至 2024 年 5 月 31 日,共纳入了 11 项符合条件的研究,涵盖了 1269 名参与者。随机效应模型评估了主要(完全缓解率(CR 率))和次要(总体缓解率(ORR))结局,同时进行了元回归分析以调整相关协变量。
嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法的总体 CR 率(0.54(95%CI 0.42-0.69)vs 双特异性抗体 0.35(0.30-0.41),p<0.01)和总体 ORR(0.83(0.76-0.90)vs 0.65(0.59-0.71),p<0.01)均显著更高。然而,嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法的不良反应发生率更高,特别是细胞因子释放综合征(CRS)(0.83(0.70-0.97)vs 双特异性抗体 0.59(0.43-0.74),p<0.05)。CAR-T 细胞组的严重 CRS(等级≥3)发生率为 0.07(0.03-0.14),而双特异性抗体组的发生率可忽略不计,为 0.01(0.00-0.02)(p<0.01)。血液学不良反应,包括中性粒细胞减少症(等级≥3;0.88(0.81-0.95)vs 0.48(0.30-0.67),p<0.01)和贫血症(等级≥3;0.55(0.47-0.62)vs 0.34(0.28 至 0.40),p<0.01)在 CAR-T 细胞组也更为常见。此外,不同的 CAR-T 产品在疗效方面存在差异,cilta-cabtagene autoleucel 在 CR 率(0.77(0.71-0.84)vs 0.37(0.32-0.41),p<0.01)和 ORR(0.91(0.83-0.99)vs 0.73(0.68-0.77),p<0.01)方面表现出更大的疗效,与 idecabtagene vicleucel 相比。
与双特异性抗体相比,嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞疗法显示出更高的 CR 率,但严重不良反应发生率增加。
