New treatment option for Multiple Myeloma
Official title Engaging T-cells to Eliminate MRD in Newly Diagnosed Myeloma Optimizing Response With Talquetmab and Teclistamab (ROTATE)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06993675
What this study is testing
What is Talquetamab?
Talquetamab is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for multiple myeloma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- 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.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 1 year
