多发性骨髓瘤中的 IgG 替代治疗

T cell engagers (TCE) such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy and bispecific antibodies (BiAbs) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) have significantly improved clinical outcomes, but have also raised awareness for ensuing post-treatment secondary immunodeficiency and hypogammaglobulinemia (HG).

As patients with MM live longer, recurrent infections become a significant component of therapy-associated morbidity and mortality. Treatment of HG with immunoglobulin G replacement therapy (IgG-RT) has been a mainstay of the primary immunodeficiency (PI) world, and extrapolation to MM has recently started to show promising clinical outcomes.

However, IgG-RT initiation, dosing, route, timing, monitoring, and management in MM has not been standardized in the setting of TCE. Progress in MM treatment will involve greater recognition and screening of underlying secondary immunodeficiency, identification of risk-stratification markers, optimizing IgG-RT management, and implementing other approaches to decrease the risk of infection. In this review, we summarize infection risk, risk of HG, and management strategies for IgG-RT in patients with relapsed MM after TCE.
