Resistance routes that involve this target

Unaddressed routes →
Antigen loss · BCMA-directed therapy
BCMA antigen loss (biallelic TNFRSF17 deletion, extracellular mutations)
Frequency: ~10–30% after bispecifics

Deletion or mutation removes or alters the epitope; more common after bispecifics than CAR-T.

Countermeasures · 1
  • Switch to GPRC5D-directed therapy (talquetamab, GPRC5D CAR-T) or FcRH5
