Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not received prior BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy and are not eligible for it may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase II study investigates the efficacy of elranatamab in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have previously undergone 1 to 3 lines of therapy. Participants will receive elranatamab and may enter a treatment-free observation period if they achieve a sustained minimal residual disease (MRD) negative response for over 12 months. The study aims to assess how well this treatment works in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches targeting multiple myeloma, but the specific use of elranatamab is being evaluated for the first time in this context.

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
7. Adequate hematological function defined as
1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,000/mm3 (G-CSF not permitted for at least 1 week prior to the first dose of elranatamab)
2. Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (transfusion support is permitted if completed at least 1 week prior to planned start of dosing)
3. Platelet count ≥75,000/mm3 or ≥50,000/mm3 if \>50% involvement with plasma cells in the screening bone marrow (transfusion support is permitted if completed at least 1 week prior to planned start of dosing)
8. Adequate renal function with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min as calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation.
9. Adequate liver function defined as
1. Aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST and ALT) ≤2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); ≤5.0 x ULN if there is liver involvement by the tumor.
2. Alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN in case of bone metastasis).
3. Total bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL, except in patients with Gilbert Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dL.
10. Able to receive outpatient treatment of elranatamab by meeting the following criteria:
1. Lives within 30minutes from the site of medication administration
2. Reliable caregiver present, who is able to watch participant continuously for at least until 48 hours after administration of first full treatment dose
3. No history of grade 3-4 CRS or grade 3-4 ICANS from other immune effector cell or bispecific antibody therapies
11. Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy to baseline severity or CTCAE Grade ≤1
12. Serum pregnancy test (for females of childbearing potential) negative at screening.
a. Female patients of non-childbearing potential must meet at least 1 of the following criteria: i. Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; status may be confirmed with a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level confirming the postmenopausal state.
ii. Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy. iii. Have medically confirmed ovarian failure. b. All other female patients (including female patients with tubal ligations) are considered to be of childbearing potential.
13. Agreement to adhere to Lifestyle Considerations (see section 5.3 and Appendix 2) throughout study duration
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subjects with smoldering multiple myeloma, IgM multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, POEMS syndrome, and primary and secondary plasma cell leukemia, defined as circulating plasma cells ≥ 5%
2. Extramedullary relapse who does not meet criteria for measurable disease as above
3. Active malignancy other than Multiple Myeloma requiring treatment in the past 3 years, with the exception of successfully treated non-metastatic squamous or basal skin carcinoma
4. Known CNS involvement by multiple myeloma
5. Active, uncontrolled autoimmune disorders
6. Active uncontrolled infection. Active infections must be resolved and/or controlled at least 14 days prior to enrollment.
7. Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study entry (bone lesions requiring radiation may be treated with limited \[ie, ≤25% of bone marrow in field\] radiation therapy during this period).
8. Last systemic treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half lives, whichever is shorter. Subjects can receive a maximum of 160mg of dexamethasone or equivalent during screening, but at least 7 days prior to start of therapy.

16. History of Guillan-Barre syndrome
17. Other surgical (including major surgery within 14 days prior to enrollment) or psychiatric conditions including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.
