About This Trial

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of letermovir in the prevention of clinically significant CMV infection in adult, CMV-seropositive relapsed/refractory MM patients undergoing BsAbs therapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
