Navigating the Economic Burden of Multiple Myeloma: Insights into Cost-effectiveness of CAR-T and Bispecific Antibody Therapies

Published in:

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Multiple myeloma is a chronic malignancy and with evolving treatment options, understanding the economic burden and cost-effectiveness of therapies is crucial for clinicians and researchers.

Recent Findings

In this, we review the recent approval of Bispecific antibodies and CAR-T for myeloma and their cost implications, including direct and indirect costs. We compare this to current regimens and provide cost comparisons in this review.

Summary

We conclude that the use of more effective therapies such as CAR-T in earlier lines of therapies may be more cost-effective depending on the country and model used. Further studies are essential to better understand the cost-effectiveness of bispecific antibodies including head-to-head comparisons to CAR-T therapy.
