In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of BM immune cell composition spanning from premalignant stages to MM, using FlowCT, a semiautomated workspace empowered to analyze large data sets. Our cohort comprised 159 patients, covering monoclonalgammopathy of undetermined significance, smoldering MM, and MM, with most undergoing treatment with a daratumumab-based regimen. The evolving disease showed alterations in immune cell populations, including a reduction in the granulocyte-tolymphocyte ratio (GLR) and granulocyte–to–T-lymphocyte (GTL) ratio, alongside an increase in T lymphocytes. Higher baseline levels of BM GLR and GTL ratio were associated with extended progression-free survival. Moreover, improved outcomes were observed inpatients with a higher GTL ratio treated with daratumumab-based regimens. Furthermore, autologous BM-derived granulocytes enhance daratumumab-mediated cytotoxicity against primary autologous neoplastic plasma cells, unveiling a novel BM-granulocyte–dependent mechanism of action for daratumumab in patients with MM. These findings emphasize the dynamic nature of the BM immune compartment during MM progression and underscore the prognostic significance of immune cell composition in guiding therapeutic approaches and enhancing patient outcomes.  \nSubmitted 1 April 2025; accepted 22 September 2025; prepublished online 16 October 2025.
