The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and CAR-HEMATOTOX (CAR-HT) score identify multiple myeloma (MM) patients at high risk for immune-mediated toxicity and early mortality with cellular immunotherapy. However, their association with outcomes in patients receiving T-cell redirecting bispecific antibodies (bsAb) is unclear. This multi-centre retrospective study examines the association of baseline GPS and CAR-HT scores with outcomes in 126 MM patients treated with bsAb. Overall, 19% were identified as GPS high risk but did not experience increased toxicity or mortality. Conversely, high-risk CAR-HT patients had a higher incidence of infections and inferior survival, suggesting a need for aggressive infection mitigation strategies.
