AZD0120 added to induction in multiple myeloma patients ineligible for stem cell transplant
Official title: Phase III Open-Label, Randomised Study of Consolidation With AZD0120 (Dual-Targeting BCMA/CD19 CAR-T) vs Continuous Standard Therapy in NDMM Patients Ineligible for ASCT as Initial Therapy (DURGA-5)
Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07764978 · Data updated 2026-11-12
In people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who can’t have a stem cell transplant, this study tests whether a single dose of AZD0120 after standard induction therapy helps more than continuing the standard therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for ASCT and have measurable disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to induction therapy or who cannot tolerate the AZD0120-containing regimen may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3 trial is a randomized, multicenter study comparing induction regimens IsaVRd or DRd followed by a one-time AZD0120 dose versus induction regimens followed by ongoing IsaRd or DRd. The main goal is to see if the single AZD0120 dose improves progression-free survival and MRD-negative complete responses at 9 months after randomization, using IMWG criteria and blinded central review. Participants are adults with NDMM ineligible for ASCT and must have measurable disease and adequate organ function. The study includes AZD0120, daratumumab, dexamethasone, isatuximab, and lenalidomide as part of the treatment approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the AZD0120-augmented approach could prolong the time before the cancer worsens and increase the chance of deeper disease response.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar CAR-T and induction strategies have shown promise but this exact approach with AZD0120 is being evaluated.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Participants must be 18 years or older, at the time of signing the ICF. 2. Participant must have documented diagnosis of MM according to the IMWG diagnostic criteria. 3. Participant must have one or more of the following measurable disease criteria: (a) Serum M-protein level ≥1.0 g/dL, (b) Urine M-protein level ≥ 200 mg/24 h, (c)Serum immunoglobulin FLC ≥ 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio. 4. Participant must be deemed ineligible for ASCT while also having adequate organ function for CAR-T cell treatment. 5. Participant is a candidate to receive at least one of the regimens (IsaVRd or DRd) as determined by the Investigator. 6. ECOG performance status Grade of 0 to 2. 7. Participant must have adequate organ and bone marrow function. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Participant has active or prior CNS or meningeal involvement of MM. 2. Participant has primary amyloidosis, active plasma cell leukemia (≥5% circulating plasma cells), Waldenström macroglobulinemia, or POEMS syndrome. 3. Participant has significant neurological or psychiatric condition posing risk or impairing evaluation. 4. Participant has any other significant medical condition that increases unacceptable risk, interferes with therapy delivery, or confounds evaluation. 5. Participant has a history of a prior non-haematologic malignancy unless the participant has been disease-free with no evidence of recurrence for ≥ 2 years. 6. Participant has a history of haematologic malignancies, other than MM, regardless of remission status. 7. Participant is positive for any of the following: 1. HIV: Known to be seropositive for HIV (including any history of HIV). 2. Chronic or active hepatitis B. 3. Active hepatitis C: Hepatitis C infection. 4. Additional local requirements for the testing for infectious diseases and exclusions of applicable participants should be followed per local regulations. 8. Participant has clinically significant cardiovascular disease. 9. Participant has COPD with an FEV1 \< 50% of predicted normal. 10. Additional exclusion for participants who are planned to receive IsaVRd as induction: Participant has peripheral neuropathy Grade 4, Grade 3, Grade 2, or Grade 1 with pain.
