A Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events (AE)s in Adult Participants With Multiple Myeloma Receiving Etentamig (ABBV-383) as an Intravenous (IV) Infusion Alone or in Combination With Oral, IV, Subcutaneous Daratumumab; Lenalidomide; Dexamethasone; Carfilzomib
This research study is looking for adults with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood that affects bone marrow. We want to test a new drug called Etentamig. We'll be looking at how safe it is and how well it works, either on its own or when combined with other medicines you might already be familiar with, such as Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, or Carfilzomib. Multiple myeloma can sometimes come back or stop responding to treatment. This study aims to find new and better ways to control the disease. It will involve regular visits to a hospital or clinic and different tests to monitor your health and the treatment's effect.
At a glance
What is this study about?
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that starts in certain white blood cells called plasma cells, which are found in your bone marrow (the soft, spongy material inside your bones). This cancer can cause problems like bone pain, weaker bones, and kidney issues. While there are treatments available, sometimes the cancer can return or stop responding to current medicines.
This study is designed to explore a new potential treatment called Etentamig (also known as ABBV-383). Researchers want to find out if Etentamig can help manage multiple myeloma. They will look at how safe it is and how well it works, both when given on its own and when combined with other medications often used for multiple myeloma. These include drugs like Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Carfilzomib.
The study is split into different parts. Some people will receive Etentamig alone, while others will get it alongside one or more of the other listed medications. Gradually, the researchers will increase the dose of Etentamig to find the safest and most effective amount. They will then test these promising doses further. The aim is to find better treatment options for people living with multiple myeloma.
Key takeaways
- This study tests a new drug, Etentamig, for multiple myeloma.
- It aims to find safer and more effective ways to treat the cancer.
- You might receive Etentamig alone or with other standard treatments.
- Participation involves regular hospital visits and health checks.
- The study includes various stages to find the right doses.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, adult patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma. This includes people who have just been diagnosed or whose cancer has returned or stopped responding to previous treatments, depending on the specific part of the study.
There are also some conditions that would prevent someone from joining. For example, if your multiple myeloma has spread to your brain or spinal cord, or if you currently have an active infection that is outlined in the study's rules, this study might not be suitable for you.
- Are you an adult aged 18 or over?
- Do you have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma?
- Is your general health good enough for you to be up and about most days (as determined by a doctor)?
- Have you been told your multiple myeloma hasn't spread to your brain or spinal cord?
- Do you currently not have any serious active infections?
This is a guide only — the research team will confirm whether you can take part.
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part in this study, you will have regular visits to a hospital or clinic over a long period, potentially several years. During these visits, you will receive the study medication (Etentamig) through a drip into your vein. Depending on which group you're in, you might also take other medicines by mouth, injection, or drip.
Throughout the study, the medical team will carry out various checks to see how you are doing. This includes medical checks, blood tests, and looking for any side effects. You might also be asked to complete questionnaires about your health. The total duration of the study for all participants could be around 130 months, which is over 10 years, though your individual participation might be shorter.
