Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with definite high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma who meet the IMWG criteria and consent to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with rapid progression, significant organ damage, or contraindications to BCMA/CD3 BiTE therapy may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This interventional study tests CM-336, a BCMA/CD3 BiTE, in adults with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. The goal is to determine safety and potential efficacy in delaying progression to active multiple myeloma. The study population includes adults meeting specific diagnostic criteria for smoldering myeloma and without certain organ failures. The trial is conducted at a leading hematology center in China, with collaboration from a biotech company.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, CM-336 could delay disease progression and improve outcomes for high-risk smoldering myeloma patients.
How similar studies have gone: BCMA/CD3 BiTEs have shown high remission rates and acceptable safety in similar myeloma settings, supporting exploration in high-risk smoldering disease.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Know and voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF).
2. Age ≥18 years.
3. Definite diagnosis of SMM: According to IMWG Criteria 10, the patient must have histologically or cytologically confirmed smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), including:
1. Serum M protein ≥3 g /dL and/or BMPCs≥10%(but not more than 60%)
2. No anemia: hemoglobin ≥10 g /dL

5. dissolving bone lesions without radiographic indications: X-ray, CT, or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT without dissolving bone lesions, with no more than 1 lesion on whole-body MRI (Note: In the investigator's judgment, whole-body CT or PET/CT may replace MRI for patients with contraindications or for whom MRI is not available).
6. FLC ratio \<100 (unless light chain ≤10 mg /dL is involved) Note: Anemia, renal failure and hypercalcemia are allowed if there is evidence that anemia, renal failure, hypercalcemia or bone lesions are not associated with multiple myeloma (MM).
4. High-risk SMM are defined as meeting one or more of the three criteria in the following part: (i) Mayo 2018, (ii) IMWG 2020 and (iii) evolving pattern.

h.≥5% of cells had chromosomal abnormalities (t (4,14) or del 17 p or 1 q acquisition i. Increased circulating plasma cells (PCs\>5×106/L or 5%) j. Merri indicates diffuse abnormalities or 1 focal lesion, and/or increased uptake of focal lesion in PET-CT class without underlying osteolytic osteopathy. Meet the necessary conditions, 1 or more sufficient conditions.
\*FISH exceptions are defined as the presence of any of the following: t (4,14), t (14,16), 1 q amplification, del 13 qt, t (4,20)

9. Male patients must agree not to donate sperm from the initial screening period until 90 days after the last medication.
10. Patients must be willing and able to complete study procedures and follow-up examinations.
Note: Fertile women are all women who have begun menstruating and are not in late menopause and who have not undergone surgical sterilization (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy). Postmenopause is defined as more than 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea for an unspecified reason. Women who are using mechanical birth control methods such as oral contraceptives or intrauterine devices should be considered fertile. Male subjects (including those who have undergone vasectomy) must consent to the use of condoms during sex with women of childbearing age and must not plan to impregnate the woman during the study drug use period from the date of signing the informed consent form and within 3 months after the last study drug receipt.

2. Along with other tumors that must be treated.
3. Previously received immunotherapy against BCMA targets.

7. Patients with unstable or active cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases meet any of the following criteria:

3. Uncontrolled and clinically significant conduction abnormalities (e.g., patients with ventricular arrhythmias controlled by antiarrhythmic drug therapy), not excluding patients with first-degree AV block or asymptomatic left anterior bundle branch block/right bundle branch block (LAFB/RBBB);
4. Echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 40%;
5. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months prior to screening;
6. Severe thrombotic events before treatment.
9\) Known active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV seropositivity.
10\) Active hepatitis B or C infection. Screening requires hepatitis serological testing. If hepatitis B surface antigen is positive, a negative DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result is required to be confirmed before enrollment (after anti-HBV treatment, a negative DNA polymerase PCR result is required before enrollment). If the hepatitis C antibody is positive, an RNA PCR test is performed and the result before enrollment is confirmed to be negative.
11\) Pregnant or lactating women. 12) Any active gastrointestinal dysfunction that affects the patient's ability to swallow pills, or any active gastrointestinal dysfunction that may affect the absorption of investigational therapeutic drugs.
13\) Patients had major surgery (for example, requiring general anesthesia) within 2 weeks before enrollment began, or will not fully recover from surgery, or have surgery scheduled during the time they plan to participate in the study. Kyphoplasty or spondyloplasty is not considered major surgery. Note: Patients who plan to perform surgery under local anesthesia may participate in the study.
14\) Received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to administration of the first investigational drug.
