AI summary: who the study is looking for
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 whose multiple myeloma has come back or has stopped responding to treatment, and who are positive for t(11;14) and/or BCL2 high status.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Multiple myeloma that has come back or has not responded to treatment (relapsed or refractory), with disease that can be measured by blood or urine tests. There must be proof the disease progressed during or after the last treatment.
- Earlier treatment
- No earlier treatment with a BCL-2 inhibitor.
- Biomarker or test result
- t(11;14) positive status and/or BCL2 high status.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Major surgery within 4 weeks before study treatment, or planned during the study
- Recent infection needing treatment through the body that ended 14 days or less before the first dose
- Uncontrolled active infection that affects the whole body

- Original description
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and change in disease activity of surzetoclax in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Platform Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of the BCL-2 Inhibitor Surzetoclax (ABBV-453) Given as Monotherapy or in Combination With Antimyeloma Regimens in Subjects With Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and change in disease activity of surzetoclax in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed.
Surzetoclax is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. In Substudy 1 there will be dose escalation and dose expansion phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (expansion) of surzetoclax in combination with daratumumab + dexamethasone, to determine the best dose of surzetoclax. In Substudy 2, there will be a dose escalation phase where participants will receive various doses of surzetoclax alone. In Substudy 3 there will be dose escalation and optimization phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (optimization) of of surzetoclax and etentamig to determine the best dose of surzetoclax and etentamig. Optimization will also include etentamig received alone. Approximately 325 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 55 sites worldwide.
In Substudy 1 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with SC daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets or daratumumab injections + oral pomalidomide + oral dexamethasone tablets. In Substudy 2, Japanese participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets. In Substudy 3 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with IV etentamig and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses of both oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with of IV etentamig, or IV etentamig alone. The total study duration is approximately 4.5 years.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution. The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.
Inclusion: Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) based on standard international myeloma working group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria; All participants must have measurable disease per central laboratory with at least 1 of the following assessed within 28 days prior to enrollment:; Serum M-protein >= 0.5 g/dL (>= 5g/L); OR; Urine M-protein >= 200 mg/24 hours; OR; For participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein: Serum free light chain (sFLC) >= 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L), provided sFLC ratio is abnormal; B-cell lymphoma (BCL)-2 inhibitor treatment naïve; t(11;14) positive status and/or BCL2 high status; Must have confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen, based on the investigator's determination of the international myeloma working group (IMWG) 2016 criteria.
Exclusion: Major surgery within 4 weeks of study treatment or planned during study participation; Recent infection requiring systemic treatment that was completed <= 14 days before first dose of study treatment and/or uncontrolled active systemic infection.
