Robert J. Soiffer, MD, discusses the role of transplant in the post chimeric antigen receptor setting for patients with hematologic malignancies.

While upfront transplant showed benefit vs carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone in the phase 2 CARDAMON study of patients with multiple myeloma, 57.7% of patients achieved at least a very good partial response with the combination.
