Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with a documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma who have started teclistamab within the first 8 weeks and plan to continue it for the next 12 months are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients not receiving BCMA×CD3 bispecific therapy, those with contraindications to immune globulin, or those unlikely to complete the 12-month treatment schedule may not receive benefit from this approach.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized Phase 3 trial enrolls adults with multiple myeloma who recently started teclistamab (a BCMA×CD3 bispecific antibody) to test whether regular IGI 10% infusions reduce infections. Participants are randomly assigned to receive IGI every 3–4 weeks for 12 months (primary prevention) or to receive IGI only if they develop a serious infection during the 12-month study period (secondary prevention). Study visits total 15 (4-week dosing) or 19 (3-week dosing) and overall participation is up to 14 months including screening. The trial will compare infection rates and related healthcare use between the two strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, regular IGI infusions could lower the number and severity of infections in multiple myeloma patients receiving BCMA×CD3 bispecific therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Immune globulin is used to prevent infections in people with secondary immunodeficiency and some myeloma patients, but its specific use alongside BCMA×CD3 bispecific antibody therapy has limited prior data.

3. The participant has a documented polyclonal IgG level less than (\<) 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) at the most recent assessment before teclistamab initiation (within 4 weeks) as assessed by the investigator according to the site's standard practice.
4. The participant is currently receiving immunoglobulin products or has received immunoglobulin products within 16 weeks before screening.
