Study of Intravenously (IV) Infused Etentamig in Combination With an Oral Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulatory Drug (CELMoD) Agent Assessing Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity in Adult Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This research study is for adults in the UK with a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma, where the cancer has returned or didn’t get better with other treatments. It’s testing a new medicine called etentamig, given into a vein, alongside another oral medicine called iberdomide. The main goals are to find out how safe this combination of drugs is, what side effects people might experience, and if it helps to reduce the activity of the disease. Researchers will be exploring different doses of these drugs to find the most suitable amount. About 135 people around the world, including in the UK, will take part.

What is this study about?

This study is for adults who have multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects special white blood cells in your bone marrow. Sometimes, after initial treatments, the cancer can come back (relapse) or not respond well to previous medicines (refractory). This study is exploring a new treatment combination for people in this situation.

The main aim is to understand how safe a new medicine called etentamig is when given together with an existing medicine called iberdomide. Etentamig is an experimental drug, meaning it’s still being tested. Researchers also want to see if this combination can help control the multiple myeloma.

In the first part of the study (Phase 1), different doses of etentamig and iberdomide will be tested to find a dose that is manageable and safe. In the second part (Phase 2), set doses will be used. The study will involve around 135 people globally and will last for about 129 months, which is a long time, so it's important to understand the commitment.

Key takeaways

  • This study is for adults with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to past treatments.
  • It tests a new drug, etentamig, given with an existing drug, iberdomide, to see if it's safe and effective.
  • Participants will have regular hospital visits, blood tests, and health checks.
  • The study involves a significant time commitment, potentially lasting over a decade.
  • You cannot have received certain previous multiple myeloma treatments to be eligible.

Who may be eligible?

To join this study, you would generally need to be an adult diagnosed with multiple myeloma that has either returned or not improved after your last treatment. Your overall health and ability to carry out daily activities should be good, often described as having an 'ECOG score of 0 or 1', meaning you are fully active or can do light tasks.

There are also specific requirements about your disease itself, like needing to have evidence of the multiple myeloma that can be measured by medical tests. This allows the researchers to track how well the treatment is working.

However, you wouldn't be able to join if you've already had treatment with etentamig or certain specific types of treatments that target a protein called BCMA. You also can't have taken iberdomide or a similar drug called mezigdomide before. These rules help make sure the study can properly test the new combination of drugs.

Could this study suit you?

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

  1. Are you an adult with multiple myeloma?
  2. Has your multiple myeloma come back or not responded to previous treatments?
  3. Are you generally feeling well enough to do most daily activities?
  4. Have you *not* had treatment with etentamig, iberdomide, or specific BCMA-targeted therapies before?
Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to take part in this study, you will need to attend regular appointments at a hospital or clinic. These visits are important for the study team to check your health, give you the study medication, and monitor how you are responding. You will receive etentamig through a drip into your vein (intravenously), and iberdomide will be taken by mouth.

Throughout the study, you'll have various medical checks, blood tests, and fill out questionnaires. These will help the study team keep track of your condition, look for any improvements, and carefully watch out for any side effects you might experience. The full study could last for approximately 129 months, so it is a significant long-term commitment.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in a clinical trial might offer the chance to try a new treatment that isn’t widely available, which could potentially help your multiple myeloma. However, there are also potential risks, including side effects from the investigational drugs that are not yet fully known. The care you receive in this study might also be more intensive, with more frequent hospital visits, than your usual care. It's very important to remember that participating is completely voluntary, and you are free to leave the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your future medical care.

What is multiple myeloma?

Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects plasma cells, a type of white blood cell, in your bone marrow.

What does 'relapsed or refractory' mean?

It means the cancer has either come back after treatment or hasn't responded well to previous treatments.

What are etentamig and iberdomide?

Etentamig is a new drug being tested, and iberdomide is an existing medicine. They will be given together in this study.

How will the medications be given?

Etentamig will be given into a vein with a drip, and iberdomide will be taken by mouth as a tablet.

How long will the study last?

The study is expected to last for quite a long time, potentially around 129 months (over 10 years).
