Longer-term data from the DREAMM-2 trial confirmed the sustained clinical activity of the anti–B-cell maturation antigen antibody–drug conjugate belantamab mafodotin in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM, with no emergence of new safety signals. Read More ›

A single dose of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), an investigational B-cell maturation antigen–directed CAR T-cell therapy, resulted in early, deep, and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, according to updated results from the phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 clinical trial. These findings were reported by Saad Zafar Usmani, MD, FACP, Director, Plasma Cell Disorder Program, and Director, Clinical Research in Hematologic Malignancies, Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, NC, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2021 virtual annual meeting.

The following clinical trials represent a selection of key studies currently recruiting patients with multiple myeloma for inclusion in investigations of new therapies and new regimens of existing treatments for the disease. Each clinical trial description includes the NLM Identifier to be used as a reference with ClinicalTrials.gov. This information can help oncology practice managers and providers direct eligible patients to one of these clinical trials. Read More ›

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 35,000 new cases of multiple myeloma will be diagnosed in the United States in 2021, and approximately 12,410 deaths will be attributed to the disease. However, with the introduction of several novel therapies, the outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma have improved significantly over the past decade. Read More ›

IKEMA is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study that reached its interim analysis milestone. The study evaluated the effect of adding isatuximab (Isa) to carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Read More ›

In patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) at target dose levels of ≥150 × 10⁶ chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)+ T-cells, the updated analysis of the phase 1 CRB-401 study supports a favorable clinical benefit–risk profile for the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CAR T-cell therapy, idecabtagene vicleucel.

In heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), preliminary results from the phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 study show early, deep, and durable responses with a single low-dose infusion of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) and a safety profile consistent with prior studies.

Favorable efficacy and manageable safety are shown in the updated analysis of the phase 1 study of teclistamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). This analysis supports the planned phase 2 monotherapy trial at 1500 µg/kg administered subcutaneously. Read More ›

This phase 1, first-in-human study evaluates patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who are heavily pretreated with REGN5458. Results of this updated analysis are consistent with those of previous findings showing an acceptable safety profile and deep and durable responses. The phase 2 portion of the study is further progressing. Read More ›

This primary analysis evaluated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who had received ≥1 prior lines of therapy, including lenalidomide (Len) and a proteasome inhibitor (PI). Compared with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pd) alone, daratumumab (DARA) plus Pd reduced the risk of disease progression and death without additional safety signals. Read More ›
