Enhanced platelet function through CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: The influence of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy on platelet function in relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) has not been thoroughly investigated. Our cohort comprised fifty MM patients treated with CAR-T cells. The mean platelet closure time (PCT) induced by collagen/adenosine diphosphate (CADP) in peripheral blood was significantly prolonged before lymphodepletion (195.24 ± 11.740 s) and notably reduced post-CAR-T cell therapy (128.02 ± 5.60 s), with a statistically significant improvement (67.22, 95% CI 46.91-87.53, P < 0.001). This post-treatment PCT was not significantly different from that of healthy controls (10.64, 95% CI 1.11-22.40, P > 0.05). Furthermore, a pronounced enhancement in PCT was observed in patients with a response greater than partial rem
