What is ABECMA? ABECMA (idecabtagene vicleucel) is a prescription medicine for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least four kinds of treatment regimens that have not worked or have stopped working. ABECMA is a medicine made from your own white blood cells; the cells are genetically modified to recognize and attack your multiple myeloma cells.

The importance of
caregivers

Caregivers play an essential role during
your ABECMA treatment journey.
They are critical in lending a helping hand
to support you before and after your ABECMA infusion.

Not an actual patient and caregiver.

Before your ABECMA infusion, caregivers may help:

  • Take notes and ask questions at the doctor's office and assist with scheduling appointments
  • Organize and relay medical and insurance information to the healthcare team
  • Assist with driving, meal prep, laundry, cleaning, and managing visitors

After your ABECMA infusion, caregivers may help:

  • Watch for symptoms, side effects, and other changes in health and/or behaviors
  • Check and record your temperature at least 3 times a day
  • Speak to the healthcare team when you have questions
  • Call 911 or your healthcare team in the event of a medical emergency

Are you a caregiver?

Being a caregiver can be stressful. It’s okay to alternate care partners if you need to take a break. Coordinate with friends and family as appropriate to ensure around-the-clock coverage while you get the help and support you need.
