This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of ST-067 in combination with teclistamab and how well it 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). ST-067 is an engineered variant of the human cytokine interleukin-18 that may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Teclistamab binds to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a protein found on some B-cells and myeloma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving ST-067 in combination with teclistamab may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety of vevoctadekin (ST-067) in multiple myeloma (MM), first as monotherapy and then in combination with teclistamab (tec).
II. To define the optimal biologic dose (OBD) of ST-067 in combination with tec in MM.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of ST-067 in combination with tec in MM.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the pharmacokinetics of ST-067 monotherapy in MM.
II. To explore the pharmacodynamics of ST-067 in combination with tec.
III. To explore patterns of tumor burden with ST-067 in combination with tec.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of ST-067 in combination with teclistamab followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients receive ST-067 subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1, on days 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 2, then on days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive teclistamab SC on days 1, 3, 5, 15 and 22 of cycle 2 then on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 or on days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy during screening and on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 5 years.
