AZD0120 consolidation vs ASCT in transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Official title: A Phase III, Open-label, Multicentre, Randomised Study Comparing Consolidation Treatment With AZD0120, an Autologous Dual Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) Therapy Directed Against BCMA and CD19, Versus Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Who Are Transplant Eligible (TE NDMM) (DURGA-6)
Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07735637 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether AZD0120 given as consolidation can work as well as or better than traditional autologous stem cell transplant in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible multiple myeloma who have completed 4–6 induction cycles and have at least stable disease after induction.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not candidates for high-dose therapy or who do not meet eligibility criteria may not benefit from this consolidation strategy.

What this trial studies
This phase 3, multicenter trial compares consolidation therapy with AZD0120 to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in adults with newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. Participants will be randomized to receive AZD0120 with lymphodepletion and lenalidomide maintenance or to undergo ASCT with lenalidomide maintenance, with follow-up extending up to 15 years. Primary endpoints include progression-free survival by IMWG criteria and MRD-negative complete response rate at 9 months, assessed by blinded central review. Additional long-term follow-up is planned to evaluate durability of response and safety. Eligible patients must have completed induction therapy and meet performance and organ-function criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, AZD0120 consolidation could offer a non-transplant option that maintains or improves disease control and quality of life for suitable patients.
How similar studies have gone: AZD0120 is being tested in this phase 3 setting; prior similar consolidation approaches have shown promise but this exact comparison to ASCT is being evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥18 years of age. * Documented diagnosis of NDMM according to IMWG diagnostic criteria. * Documented measurable disease at diagnosis (serum M-protein ≥ 1.0 g/dL, urine M-protein 200 mg/24 hour, or serum Ig FLC 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum Ig kappa lambda FLC ratio) * Must have completed 4 to 6 cycles of induction therapy with any of the following approved regimens: anti-CD38+VRd, DVTd, DRd or VRd * Participant must have at least SD or better per IMWG response criteria (2016) after completion of induction, and prior to randomisation. * ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1. * Eligible for treatment with high-dose melphalan (200 mg/m²) followed by ASCT. * Adequate organ and bone marrow function. Exclusion Criteria: * Known active, or prior history of CNS involvement or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of MM. * Primary amyloidosis, active plasma cell leukaemia (at diagnosis and/or at time of screening), Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia or POEMS syndrome. * Significant neurological or psychiatric condition * Significant medical condition that places the participant at an unacceptable risk for treatment-related complications * Participants who required the introduction of an additional agent therapy due to inadequate response. * Prior T-cell engager therapy directed at any target. * Prior CAR-T and/or CAR-NK cell therapy directed at any target for any indications * Prior any therapy that is targeted to BCMA and CD19.
