CC-93269 for Multiple Myeloma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called CC-93269 for people with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. The goal is to determine the best dose and evaluate its effectiveness for those whose disease has returned or hasn't responded to other treatments. It targets individuals with recurrent multiple myeloma who can still perform daily activities independently. Participants will receive the treatment in 28-day cycles to monitor their body's response. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CC-93269 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that CC-93269 has been tested in people with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The treatment offers potential benefits, but it also presents some safety concerns, as with any new treatment. Early results suggest that the side effects of CC-93269 can be managed. Some patients have shown strong positive responses, particularly at higher doses.
However, this is an early-stage study focused on understanding safety and determining the best dose. Consequently, limited safety information is available. Participants might experience some side effects, which is common in early trials. These findings are crucial for ensuring the treatment's safety and effectiveness.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for multiple myeloma, which typically involve chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or proteasome inhibitors, CC-93269 offers a novel approach by targeting the BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen) on myeloma cells. This is exciting because BCMA is a specific marker found on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, and CC-93269 is designed to engage the immune system, particularly T-cells, to directly attack these cancerous cells. This dual-targeting mechanism has the potential to improve treatment effectiveness and offer a new avenue for patients who may not respond to existing therapies. Researchers are hopeful that this targeted approach could lead to better outcomes with fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments.
What evidence suggests that CC-93269 might be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma?
Research has shown that CC-93269, the investigational treatment in this trial, may help treat multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Studies found that 54% of patients who took the drug experienced tumor shrinkage. In a group receiving higher doses, 83.3% showed noticeable improvement, with some even showing no signs of cancer. These findings suggest that CC-93269 could effectively manage the symptoms and progression of multiple myeloma.13467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or didn't respond to treatment. Participants should be fairly active and able to care for themselves (ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1) and have measurable signs of the disease. They can't join if they've had certain stem cell transplants recently, are dealing with another cancer needing treatment, or if their myeloma affects the central nervous system.Inclusion Criteria
