AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with multiple myeloma that came back or stopped responding after 1 to 3 earlier treatments. It compares the CAR-T therapy AZD0120 with standard treatment.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Multiple myeloma that has come back or got worse (relapsed or refractory), with measurable disease. People who had only 1 earlier treatment must have progressed within 47 months of a stem cell transplant, or within 42 months of starting first treatment if not transplanted.
- Earlier treatment
- Must have had 1 to 3 earlier lines of treatment, including an IMiD and either a PI or an anti-CD38 antibody. Must not have had BCMA-targeted treatment, CAR-T or CAR-NK therapy, or T-cell engager therapy.
- Biomarker or test result
- Measurable disease: serum M-protein of 1.0 g/dL or more, or urine M-protein of 200 mg/24 h or more, or serum free light chains of 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) or more with an abnormal kappa lambda ratio.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Current or past myeloma in the brain or meninges (CNS)
- Primary amyloidosis, active plasma cell leukemia, Waldenström macroglobulinemia or POEMS syndrome
- Primary refractory myeloma (no minimal response to any earlier treatment)
- Earlier BCMA-targeted treatment, CAR-T or CAR-NK therapy, or T-cell engager therapy
- Earlier allogeneic stem cell transplant, or autologous stem cell transplant within 12 weeks before randomisation

Show all 17 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Arm A and B: Participants must be 18 years or older, at the time of signing the ICF
- Arm A and B: Participant must have documented diagnosis of MM according to the IMWG diagnostic criteria
- Arm A and B: Participant must have one or more of the following measurable disease criteria: (a) Serum M-protein level ≥1.0 g/dL, (b) Urine M-protein level ≥ 200 mg/24 h, (c) Serum immunoglobulin FLC ≥ 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio
- Arm A and B: Participant must have documented evidence of PD by IMWG 2016 criteria based on Investigator’s determination during or after the most recent line of therapy. Participants who have had only 1 prior line of therapy must have disease that has progressed within 47 months of a stem cell transplant, or if not transplanted, then within 42 months of starting initial therapy
- Arm A and B: Participant must have received 1 to 3 lines of prior therapy including an IMiD and either a PI or an anti-CD38 antibody. Participant must have undergone at least 2 complete cycles of treatment for each line of therapy, unless PD was the best response to the line of therapy
- Arm A and B: Participant is eligible to receive at least one of the standard regimens (DKd, PVd, DPd, or Kd) as determined by the Investigator
- Arm A and B: Participants must have an ECOG performance status score of 0 to 1
- Arm A and B: Adequate organ and bone marrow function
Who cannot take part
- Arm A and B: Participant has active or prior CNS or meningeal involvement of MM
- Arm A and B: Participant has primary refractory MM (no minimal response to any prior therapy)
- Arm A and B: Participant previously received any BCMA-targeted treatment
- Arm A and B: Participant previously received CAR-T or CAR-NK therapy
- Arm A and B: Participant previously received T-cell engager therapy
- Arm A and B: Participant previously received allogeneic stem cell transplant at any time or ASCT within 12 weeks before randomization
- Arm A and B: Participant has primary amyloidosis, active plasma cell leukemia (≥5% circulating plasma cells), Waldenström macroglobulinemia, or POEMS syndrome
- Arm A and B: Participant has significant neurological or psychiatric condition posing risk or impairing evaluation (e.g., severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or seizure within 6 months). Stable mild conditions may be eligible at Investigator discretion
- Arm A and B: Participant has any other significant medical condition that increases unacceptable risk, interferes with therapy delivery, or confounds evaluation, including: -Serious active or uncontrolled infection, -Requirement of supplemental oxygen, -Active autoimmune disease or history within 2 years, -Clinically significant gastrointestinal disease (including IBD requiring treatment within 5 years)

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Arm A and Arm B Primary Objective 1: To demonstrate the superiority of AZD0120 relative to standard therapy (DKd, DPd, PVd, or Kd) by assessment of PFS in participants with RRMM. Primary Objective 2: To demonstrate the superiority of AZD0120 relative to standard therapy (DKd, DPd, PVd, or Kd) by assessment of MRD negative CR rate at 9 months in participants with RRMM.
