FDA approved iberdomide (Zenbexus) with daratumumab and dexamethasone for pretreated myeloma. The EXCALIBER-RRMM trial showed a 41% MRD-negative complete response rate vs 21%.
Updated data from the phase I CaMMouflage trial showed CB-011, the first allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy with immune cloaking, achieved an approximately 92% overall response rate in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The 2026 Tandem Meetings also highlighted advances in EB-103, KITE-753, and LV20.19 CAR-T constructs across lymphoma and CLL. Separately, NXC-201 reported a 95% complete response rate in AL amyloidosis.
The FDA approved Tecvayli plus Darzalex Faspro for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after at least one prior therapy, and accepted a new drug application for iberdomide plus daratumumab and dexamethasone with a PDUFA date of August 17, 2026.
New CAR T-cell approaches targeting BCMA and CD19 simultaneously show encouraging early results, while researchers develop control strategies for CAR-T therapies including antibody-drug conjugates.
