MonumenTAL-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a new drug, talquetamab, given in different combinations. They hope to find a safe dose of the drug to use in future.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with confirmed multiple myeloma who can follow the study's lifestyle restrictions, including pregnancy prevention plans. They must have measurable disease indicators and be in good physical condition (ECOG score of 0 or 1). Women of childbearing potential need a negative pregnancy test before starting treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Talquetamab combined with other cancer drugs like Carfilzomib, Daratumumab SC, Lenalidomide, and Pomalidomide to find safe doses and assess safety. It aims to understand how well these combinations work for treating multiple myeloma.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, nausea, kidney issues from high protein levels caused by dying cancer cells (tumor lysis syndrome), and nerve damage symptoms.
