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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

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.

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 performed: 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.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The participants must have a documented diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma (MM) according to the guidelines by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) before enrollment.
2. Participant who recently started teclistamab within the first 8 weeks of their planned treatment schedule and are planned to receive teclistamab for the next 12 months.
3. The participant or the participant's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent (that is, in writing, documented via a signed and dated Informed Consent Form \[ICF\]) and any required privacy authorization before the initiation of any study procedures.
4. The participant is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.
5. If a person of childbearing potential engages in sexual relations that carry risk of pregnancy, they agree to the following for the period from screening until 30 days after the last dose of study drug:

   1. To use a highly effective contraceptive method.
   2. To avoid donating ova.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The participant has not achieved at least a minimal response to teclistamab within 8 weeks during the screening period.
2. The participant has a current serious infection or greater than (\>) 1 serious infection in the past 3 months before screening.
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.
5. The participant has received a hyperimmune or specialty high-titer immunoglobulin product (example, cytomegalovirus immune globulin, varicella-zoster immune globulin, hepatitis B immune globulin) within 30 days before screening.
6. The participant has received live viral vaccines within 30 days before screening.
7. The participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of \>2.
8. The participant has an active viral or bacterial infection or symptoms/signs of such an infection requiring treatment with anti-infectives within 1 week before enrollment.
9. The participant has received other B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA)\*Cluster of Differentiation (CD3)-directed Bispecific Antibody therapy any time before screening.
10. The participant is scheduled to undergo plasmapheresis during the course of study or has undergone plasmapheresis in the last 16 weeks before screening.
11. The participant may be excluded from the study if, in the opinion of the investigator, the participant is at high risk for symptomatic hyperviscosity syndrome.
12. The participant has major surgery scheduled during the study, or the participant has not fully recovered from a recent major surgery (as judged by the investigator) during screening (participants with planned surgical procedures to be conducted under local anesthesia may participate).
13. The participant has an active secondary (non-MM) malignancy or other medical condition with life-expectancy of less than (\<) 2 years.
14. The participant has a known history of hypersensitivity or persistent reactions (urticaria, breathing difficulty, severe hypotension, or anaphylaxis) after Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and/or immune serum globulin infusions.
15. The participant has a known history or current diagnosis of thromboembolic episodes such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, peripheral artery disease within 6 months before screening.
16. The participant has moderate to severe renal dysfunction based on an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than or equal to (\<=) 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters (mL/min/1.73 m\^2), as defined by kidney disease: Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Glomerular Diseases, 2021 at the time of screening.
