Linvoseltamab versus standard daratumumab‑lenalidomide‑dexamethasone for adults with newly diagnosed, transplant‑ineligible multiple myeloma
A Randomized, Open-Label, Controlled Phase 3 Study of Comparing Daratumumab, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Induction Followed by Linvoseltamab Versus Continued Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Newly Diagnosed Transplant Ineligible Multiple Myeloma Patients
This trial tests whether linvoseltamab works better or is safer than the standard daratumumab‑lenalidomide‑dexamethasone combination in adults newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are not eligible for transplant.

What this trial studies
This randomized Phase 3 study assigns adults with newly diagnosed, transplant‑ineligible multiple myeloma to receive either the experimental bispecific antibody linvoseltamab or the standard regimen of daratumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Eligible participants must have measurable disease and an ECOG performance status of 0–2, and treatments are given per protocol with scheduled safety and response assessments. Key outcomes include efficacy measures such as response rates and progression‑free survival alongside detailed adverse event monitoring. The trial is sponsored by the European Myeloma Network with Regeneron as a collaborator and is being conducted at multiple centers in Australia.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults with symptomatic, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not candidates for high‑dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant, have measurable disease, and ECOG 0–2 are the intended participants.
Not a fit: Patients who are transplant‑eligible, have non‑secretory myeloma, active plasma cell leukemia, concurrent amyloidosis or other excluded diagnoses, or prior myeloma therapy are unlikely to benefit from joining this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, linvoseltamab could provide a more effective or better‑tolerated first‑line option for transplant‑ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
How similar studies have performed: Other early‑phase studies of BCMA‑targeting bispecific antibodies have shown promising responses, but frontline use of linvoseltamab in transplant‑ineligible patients is being tested in larger randomized Phase 3 trials.

Any prior therapy for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), or MM, with the exception of: * focal radiation and/or * a short course of corticosteroids as defined in the protocol. 5. Participants who have received or are receiving any investigational agent or cell therapy with known or suspected activity against MM 6. Participants who have known central nervous system (CNS) or meningeal involvement with MM or known or suspected progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a history of a neurocognitive condition or CNS movement disorder, OR a history of seizure, transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke or seizure within 12 months prior to study C1D1. 7. Participants who have uncontrolled intercurrent illness. 8. Known contraindications to the use of daratumumab or lenalidomide per local prescribing information. 9. History of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplant at any time. NOTE Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply.
