flag A new antibody therapy eliminated detectable multiple myeloma in all 18 trial patients, showing potential for a functional cure.

flag A new antibody therapy, linvoseltamab, showed promising results in treating multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in an early trial of 18 patients. flag After up to six treatment cycles, no detectable cancer was found in any participant, according to highly sensitive tests. flag The bispecific antibody links T cells to myeloma cells by targeting CD3 and BCMA, boosting the immune system’s attack on the disease. flag Researchers called the outcomes “extremely impressive,” suggesting the treatment may eliminate the need for bone marrow transplants and offer long-term control, possibly a functional cure. flag Side effects like neutropenia and respiratory infections were manageable. flag The findings were presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting, but larger trials are needed to confirm results.
