Who can take part

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 has come back or has stopped responding to treatment. The disease must be measurable by laboratory tests.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Multiple myeloma confirmed by IMWG diagnostic criteria. It must be measurable by laboratory assessment (central laboratory for cohorts A to D, local laboratory for cohort E). The disease has relapsed or is refractory.
Earlier treatment
Part 3, cohorts A and C: no earlier CAR-T or T cell redirection therapy at any time. Cohorts B, D and E: no T cell redirection therapy within 3 months. Side effects of earlier cancer treatment must have settled to Grade 1 or less, except hair loss or nerve problems in the hands and feet.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Earlier CAR-T or T cell redirection therapy (timing depends on the cohort)
  • Side effects of earlier cancer treatment above Grade 1, except hair loss or nerve problems in the hands and feet
  • Corticosteroids equal to 140 mg or more of prednisone in the 14 days before the first dose (not counting medicine given before treatment)
  • Stroke or seizure in the 6 months before signing consent

The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 9 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Documented initial diagnosis of multiple myeloma according to international myeloma working group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria
  • Part 3: Measurable disease cohort A, cohort B, cohort C and cohort D: multiple myeloma must be measurable by central laboratory assessment; Cohort E: Multiple myeloma must be measurable by local laboratory assessment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and prior to the first dose of study drug using a highly sensitive pregnancy test either serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) or urine
  • Willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol

Who cannot take part

  • Part 3 only: Cohort A and Cohort C only: exposed to a CAR-T or T cell redirection therapy at any time. Cohort B, Cohort D and Cohort E: T cell redirection therapy within 3 months
  • Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies should have resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 or less except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy
  • Received a cumulative dose of corticosteroids equivalent to >= 140 milligram (mg) of prednisone within the 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (does not include pretreatment medication)
  • Stroke or seizure within 6 months prior to signing the informed consent form (ICF)

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of talquetamab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 3).

The 5 groups in the trial

  • Part 3: Cohort A (Talquetamab)Treatment being tested

    Cohort A will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 prior lines of therapy and have not been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab subcutaneously (SC) at a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to open-label extension (OLE) phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the long-term extension (LTE) and will continue to receive study treatment.

    Treatment: Talquetamab

  • Part 3: Cohort B (Talquetamab)Treatment being tested

    Cohort B will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received \>= 3 prior lines of therapy and have been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab subcutaneously (SC) at a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

    Treatment: Talquetamab

  • Part 3: Cohort C (Talquetamab)Treatment being tested

    Cohort C will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received \>= 3 prior lines of therapy and have not been exposed to T cell redirection therapies. Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

    Treatment: Talquetamab

  • Part 3: Cohort D (Talquetamab)Treatment being tested

    Cohort D will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received \>= 3 prior lines of therapy. Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. Participants in this cohort will receive tocilizumab prophylaxis for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) including all outpatient dosing. Participants will transition to OLE upon communication by the sponsor. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

    Treatment: Talquetamab

  • Part 3: Cohort E (Talquetamab)Treatment being tested

    Cohort E will enroll participants with multiple myeloma who have previously received at least 1 proteasome inhibitor (PI), 1 immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD), and 1 anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) monoclonal antibody. Participants will receive talquetamab SC biweekly at a RP2D selected after review of safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1 and Part 2 of this study. Participants will receive tocilizumab prophylaxis for CRS with consolidated priming dose schedules as well as possible transition to outpatient priming dosing transition to OLE upon communication by the sponsor. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

    Treatment: Talquetamab
