Adding Linvoseltamab to Lenalidomide Maintenance Therapy for Eliminating Residual Disease and Improving Disease Control in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, The Alpe d'Huez Study

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial evaluates whether adding linvoseltamab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide helps eliminate remaining cancer cells (minimal residual disease) and control disease in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) who have completed initial therapy, are receiving lenalidomide maintenance therapy, and who may have myeloma cells remaining in their body. Linvoseltamab works by attracting specific types of cells called T-cells to myeloma cells (cancerous plasma cells, which are a type of blood cell). T-cells are part of the body’s immune systems, which help fight infections and can also find and kill cancer cells. However, cancer cells find ways to shut down the immune system’s defenses. Linvoseltamab may help T-cells find and attack myeloma cells. Lenalidomide is a medication that may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or cancer cells. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that cancers need to grow. Lenalidomide has been approved for the treatment of MM and various other conditions. Adding linvoseltamab to standard lenalidomide maintenance therapy may be more effective at killing remaining myeloma cells in the body and may help control disease in patients who have received initial therapy for newly diagnosed MM.
