MRD-Adapted Elranatamab for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well elranatamab 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). Elranatamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell), and to a protein called BCMA, which is found on myeloma cells and some types of immune cells called T cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. This study also evaluates the safety of pausing and restarting treatment based on response. Studies have shown that achieving and staying at minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity are associated with longer survival. Adapting treatment with elranatamab based on MRD may kill more cancer cells and improve survival in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after receiving 1-3 prior lines of treatment.
