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 stopped responding to treatment, who have already taken lenalidomide.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join
- Disease stage
- Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, with measurable disease and a documented diagnosis; performance status 0 or 1; adequate organ function
- Earlier treatment
- At least 1 but no more than 3 earlier myeloma treatment regimens, which may include a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug and an anti-CD38 antibody; must have had lenalidomide before
Main reasons for not taking part
- Known active or past myeloma in the central nervous system
- Solitary plasmacytoma or non-secretory myeloma without other measurable disease
- Need for urgent treatment because the myeloma is progressing rapidly

Who can take part
- Participants must have relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM)
- Participants must have received at least 1 but no greater than 3 prior multiple myeloma (MM) regimens which may include a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody and have prior exposure to lenalidomide
- Participants must have a documented diagnosis of MM as per International Myeloma Working Group Criteria
- Participants must have measurable disease during screening
- Participants must have adequate organ function
- Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology group performance status 0 or 1
Who cannot take part
- Participants must not have known active or history of central nervous system (CNS) involvement of Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Check if you might fit
Answer for yourself. This is not a decision: only the study team can say whether you can take part.
- Which of these best describes your myeloma treatment so far?
- Have you ever taken lenalidomide (also called Revlimid), a tablet medicine for myeloma?
- Has a doctor told you that your myeloma can be measured in your blood or urine tests?
- Which describes how well you can look after yourself?
- Has a doctor told you that you have myeloma in the brain or in the fluid and membranes around the brain and spinal cord, now or in the past?
