Samer Al Hadidi: Cytopenias and Infection Risk With BCMA-Directed Bispecific Antibodies

Samer Al Hadidi, Associate Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:

The Overlooked Burden of Cytopenias With BCMA-Directed Bispecific Antibodies

Hematologic toxicity is underappreciated:

  • 87% of pts: grade 3-4 lymphopenia
  • 55% grade 3-4 neutropenia (65% with teclistamab)
  • 74% required dose interruptions
  • 54.5% needed G-CSF

This is likely one of the important causes of higher grade infections with those agents.

We need to think about preventive strategies given the high efficacy of those agents.”
