Epunamin plus DECP for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
Official title: A Multicenter Real-World Study Evaluating Epunamin in Combination With a DECP-Based Regimen for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Run by Shanxi Bethune Hospital · NCT07497165 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether adding Epunamin to a DECP chemotherapy regimen helps people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma have better treatment responses.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–75 years old with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma by IMWG criteria who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, have ECOG 0–3, and meet organ function and consent requirements are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe organ dysfunction, unresolved prior treatment toxicities, grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, plasma cell leukemia, active severe infection, pregnancy, or recent other malignancy are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, single-arm real-world observational project enrolling 48 patients aged 18–75 with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have had at least one prior systemic therapy. Participants with ECOG performance status 0–3 and adequate organ function will receive Epunamin combined with a DECP-based regimen and be followed for response and safety. The primary endpoint is overall response rate after four treatment cycles, with secondary endpoints including deeper response categories and safety/tolerability. Major exclusions include severe cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or renal dysfunction, unresolved prior toxicities, significant peripheral neuropathy, active severe infection, plasma cell leukemia, recent other malignancy, HIV, pregnancy, or lactation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, the combination could increase response rates and offer an additional treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
How similar studies have gone: Combining novel agents with multiagent chemotherapy has produced benefits in some prior myeloma programs, but Epunamin itself appears novel and lacks large published trial evidence.
