The influence of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy on platelet function in relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) has not been thoroughly investigated. Our cohort comprised fifty MM patients treated with CAR-T cells. The mean platelet closure time (PCT) induced by collagen/adenosine diphosphate (CADP) in peripheral blood was significantly prolonged before lymphodepletion (195.24 ± 11.740 s) and notably reduced post-CAR-T cell therapy (128.02 ± 5.60 s), with a statistically significant improvement (67.22, 95% CI 46.91–87.53, P < 0.001). This post-treatment PCT was not significantly different from that of healthy controls (10.64, 95% CI 1.11–22.40, P > 0.05). Furthermore, a pronounced enhancement in PCT was observed in patients with a response greater than partial remission (PR) following CAR-T cell infusion compared to pre-treatment values (P < 0.001). An extended PCT was also associated with a less favorable remission status. In patients with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) grades 0–2, those with a PCT over 240.5 s exhibited a shorter progression-free survival (PFS), with median PFS times of 10.2 months for the PCT > 240.5 s group versus 22.0 months for the PCT ≤ 240.5 s group. Multivariate analysis revealed that a PCT value exceeding 240.5 s is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) in R/R MM patients after CAR-T cell therapy. The study demonstrates that CAR-T cell therapy enhances platelet function in R/R MM patients, and PCT emerges as a potential prognostic biomarker for the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy.
