Registry study of cilta-cel in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma shows high efficacy with substantial toxicity; importantly, 2.7% of patients developed Parkinsonism as a non-ICANS neurotoxicity.
Although not a Parkinson's study, the reported CAR-T–associated Parkinsonism is a clinically relevant signal that may inform immune- or cytokine-mediated mechanisms of basal ganglia dysfunction and could guide safety monitoring, modeling, or repurposing studies related to immune-driven parkinsonism.
