Abecma - {{pronunciation}} (uh-BEK-moo) drug used to treat adults with multiple myeloma who have relapsed (returned) or failed to improve after treatment with at least four other cancer therapies, including an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulating drug. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Abecma is made using a patient's T cells (a type of cell in the immune system). A gene for a special receptor called the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is added to the T cells in the laboratory. Large numbers of these modified T cells, known as CAR T cells, are cultivated in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion. Abecma attaches to a protein called BCMA, which is found on myeloma cells and some types of immune cells. This helps the body's immune system kill cancer cells. Abecma is a form of CAR T cell therapy. Also called idecabtagen viceucel {{dictionary-stub}} [[Category:Dictionary of medicine]]
