 (EL-rah-NA-tah-mab)

Elranatamab-bcmm works by bringing healthy T cells (immune cells that help kill cancer cells) and myeloma cells close together so the T cells can more effectively kill the myeloma cells. It does this by binding to a protein called CD3 on healthy T cells and a protein called BCMA on myeloma cells. Elranatamab-bcmm is a type of targeted therapy drug called a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE).
