“Our focus at 2seventy is giving as much time as possible to patients who are battling cancer. We are moving rapidly to expand our clinical study program to determine utility of Abecma in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with suboptimal response to transplant,” said Steve Bernstein, chief medical officer, 2seventy bio. “This population currently makes up more than half of multiple myeloma patients receiving transplant. Given the efficacy data from our collective KarMMa studies and well-established and predictable safety profile seen in studies replicated in the real-world, we believe there is tremendous potential for Abecma to help some of these patients earlier in their treatment path.”
