A Study of Elranatamab and Cyclophosphamide in People with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well elranatamab in combination with cyclophosphamide works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and who have risk factors that may affect how well they would respond to elranatamab alone. Elranatamab is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to fight infections and other possible harms to the body. A bispecific antibody is developed in the laboratory to bind to two different proteins. Elranatamab binds to a protein found on the surface of cancer cells and to one found on the surface of cells of the immune system (T cells), which play a key role in the immune system’s fighter response. Elranatamab may strengthen the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells by activating the body's own cells to destroy the tumor. Cyclophosphamide is a type of chemotherapy that stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing. Cyclophosphamide can also improve immune responses to some cancers by affecting T cells and other immune cells. Elranatamab is commonly used by doctors to treat relapsed/refractory MM. However, elranatamab doesn’t work as well for people who have certain risk factors, such as extramedullary disease, high bone marrow plasma cells, and/or elevated beta-2-microglobulin B2M. Combining elranatamab with cyclophosphamide may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who also have risk factors that may affect how well their disease would respond to elranatamab alone.
