Panelists discuss how health care providers engage in vital conversations with patients about CAR T therapy, focusing on comprehensive education, emotional support, and clear communication about the treatment journey ahead.

Panelists discuss how the symptoms of a patient with multiple myeloma led to their initial diagnosis and the progression of various treatments they underwent before becoming a candidate for CAR T therapy.

Panelists discuss how chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in early relapsed multiple myeloma can provide deep and durable responses for eligible patients, though patient selection, timing of referral, manufacturing logistics, and management of adverse effects remain important considerations in optimizing outcomes.
