Adding SCTC21C to standard bortezomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone (VRd) for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients not eligible for transplant.
Official title: A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of SCTC21C in Combination With Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Versus Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Not Eligible for Transplant
Run by Sinocelltech Ltd. · NCT07297329 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether adding the experimental drug SCTC21C to the standard bortezomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone (VRd) regimen helps people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for transplant live longer without disease progression and reach deeper remissions.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma meeting IMWG criteria who are not eligible for autologous transplant, have measurable disease, and have adequate organ and blood function are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other active hematologic malignancies, confirmed or suspected CNS/meningeal involvement, uncontrolled infections, significant comorbid conditions, recent major surgery, or those eligible for transplant are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
The study has two parts: an initial safety run-in (Part 1) followed by a randomized, controlled, open-label multicenter phase (Part 2) comparing VRd plus SCTC21C versus VRd alone. Treatment is given in 28-day cycles and continues until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, with a screening period before treatment and a follow-up period after discontinuation. Primary efficacy endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS) and minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate, while safety is monitored via adverse event reporting, labs, vitals, physical exams, and ECGs. The trial also measures objective response rate (ORR) and collects standard clinical and laboratory safety data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding SCTC21C could prolong progression-free survival and increase MRD negativity rates, potentially delaying disease progression and improving outcomes for patients who cannot undergo transplant.
How similar studies have gone: Adding targeted or antibody drugs to standard myeloma regimens (for example, daratumumab added to backbone therapy) has improved outcomes in transplant-ineligible patients, but SCTC21C is a novel investigational agent without established phase 3 efficacy data.
