Welcome to The Myeloma Minutes. We've now moved to a fortnightly release schedule, so you can now hear us every-other Thursday.

This episode explores bispecific antibodies — how they work, the benefits they bring, and the key side effects patients and carers need to know about.

📌Key Takeaways:

• Bispecific antibodies ‘wake up’ your immune system to fight myeloma — and response rates are higher than ever before.
• Early side effects (like fever or low blood pressure) usually settle quickly with the right care.
• Infections are the main long-term risk — but regular antibody infusions and vigilance make treatment much safer.
