Despite notably high response rates to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in multiple myeloma, few patients have a sustained, very good partial or complete response. This article presents a novel strategy to increase the efficacy of BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy and shows that γ-secretase inhibitors improve the efficacy of BCMA CAR T cells by increasing BCMA expression and reducing soluble BCMA.
