Transcription:

At ASCO, we have [had] very important trials and very important results, especially for advanced patients. We have heard about the results of the CARTITUDE-1 trial, the updated analysis of the CAR T-cell therapy [cilta-cel from Janssen. The results seem really great in patients who are triple class refractory with a median progression-free survival that was not yet reached. [These were] very encouraging results. [There was] also a data analysis of bispecifics, such as teclistamab and talquetamab [JNJ-64407564] that was also very promising.
