This program is supported by an independent education grant from Johnson & Johnson. This education program is only available to healthcare professionals in the USA.
In this live virtual roundtable, leading relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) experts Dr Ajay Nooka, MD, MPH, FACP and Dr Joshua Richter, MD will explore the rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) and combination strategies. This dynamic, 60-minute faculty-led conversation will address real-world challenges in translating BCMA-directed BsAb and CD38 combination data into clinical practice, including outpatient or hybrid delivery models, infection risk mitigation during continuous therapy, and treatment sequencing decisions in RRMM. The discussion will focus on translating the latest clinical trial data into routine practice, overcoming operational barriers to treatment delivery, and resolving clinical hesitation surrounding novel combination regimens.
Through an interactive Q&A session, participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with the faculty to reinforce their understanding and address pressing clinical challenges. Ultimately, healthcare providers will gain actionable, evidence-based strategies to optimize treatment sequencing, implement standardized safety protocols, and confidently navigate complex patient relapses in the community oncology setting.

Session Highlights
- Implementing Outpatient and Hybrid Delivery of BCMA BsAbs: Faculty will use real-world practice scenarios to guide the safe implementation of outpatient or hybrid step-up dosing (SUD), focusing closely on optimal patient selection, rigorous monitoring protocols, and seamless multidisciplinary coordination.
- Preventing Infection-Related Morbidity During Continuous BCMA Therapy: This segment focuses on mitigating infection risk during prolonged BCMA-directed therapy through standardized prophylaxis, regular immunoglobulin monitoring, and strategic dosing adaptations. It also features a brief patient advocate insight highlighting the real-world impact of recurrent infections and treatment interruptions on patient care.
- Optimizing Treatment Sequencing and Combination Therapy in RRMM: Participants will examine the latest clinical trial data comparing the efficacy and safety of BCMA BsAb combination therapy against both monotherapy and alternative second-line regimens, while actively addressing the clinical misconceptions that often limit appropriate treatment sequencing.

Faculty
Dr Ajay K. Nooka, MD, MPH, FACP, is a Professor of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine, where he serves as Director of the Myeloma Program and Associate Director of Clinical Research at the Winship Cancer Institute. Specializing in multiple myeloma and plasma cell disorders, his research focuses on improving risk stratification and evaluating novel therapies, including CAR T-cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates. A globally recognized expert, Dr. Nooka serves on the steering committee of the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) and holds editorial positions at leading journals, including Cancer and Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia.
Dr Joshua Richter, MD is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and serves as the Director of Multiple Myeloma at the Blavatnik Family Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai. Specializing in multiple myeloma and related plasma cell disorders, his clinical and translational research focuses on the design and implementation of clinical trials evaluating novel therapeutics, including bispecific antibodies, CAR T-cell therapies, and innovative combination regimens. A dedicated educator and prominent voice in the hematology community, Dr. Richter frequently presents his research at major international oncology conferences and is deeply committed to optimizing treatment sequencing and side-effect management to improve patient outcomes.
