    Upfront high-dose therapy with melphalan (HDM) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has established itself as a core treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients in the past 30 years. Induction therapy, HDM-ASCT, and subsequent consolidation and maintenance therapy comprise the current fundamental framework for MM treatment. The introduction of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies such as daratumumab and isatuximab has changed the treatment paradigm for transplant-eligible NDMM patients in that quadruplets have become the new standard induction therapy. The treatment landscape of MM is undergoing a transformative shift with the introduction of potent new immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), which are currently used in the relapsed/refractory setting (RRMM) and are already being tested in the NDMM. This review will focus on the incorporation of immunotherapy in the treatment scenario of NDMM patients eligible for ASCT.
