Priority 2 from the Myeloma (Canada) PSP

UNCERTAINTY: Are novel immunotherapies (e.g., CAR T) effective for the treatment of myeloma? (JLA PSP Priority 2)
Overall ranking 2
JLA question ID 0113/2
Explanatory note In the absence of a cure, people affected by myeloma would like to see new treatments for myeloma. Specifically, participants pointed to novel immunotherapies as a promising area of research that they would like to be explored.  Indeed, many participants were wondering about the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR T), and the role that this treatment will have for future treatment of myeloma.
