About This Trial

Multiple myeloma is characterized by a pattern of recurrent relapse and remains an incurable malignancy. Participants with minimal residual disease (MRD) after front line therapy with induction and transplant have worse prognosis than those with MRD negative disease. Bispecific T-cell-based immunotherapies have the potential to promote further reduction of malignant plasma cells thus improving rates of MRD negativity and improve patient outcomes. In this study, participants who are MRD positive after front line therapy will receive consolidation with GPRC5D-targeted bispecific talquetamab. We will test MRD negative conversion and if MRD negativity was not achieved, the participant will switch to a different target using the B-cell maturation antigen TCE, teclistamab. Consolidation will be continued for up to 1 year in participants who have achieved MRD negativity. After consolidation therapy on this protocol is complete, participants may continue to be treated with standardof- care (SOC) maintenance therapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Multiple Myeloma 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.

Target enrollment of 50 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Multiple Myeloma subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
