Linvoseltamab for Multiple Myeloma
(RECLAIM Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the effectiveness and safety of linvoseltamab for individuals with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. It targets those whose cancer has returned after receiving BCMA CAR T-cell therapy, an advanced treatment using modified immune cells. Participants will receive linvoseltamab, a new potential drug, through an IV on a set schedule. Suitable candidates have undergone BCMA CAR T-cell therapy at least six months prior and still show measurable signs of cancer. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that linvoseltamab is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that linvoseltamab is generally safe for patients with multiple myeloma. Studies have found that linvoseltamab can produce strong and lasting positive effects, with most patients tolerating it well. Specifically, recent data indicate that a 200 mg dose not only offers long-term benefits but is also safe for patients whose multiple myeloma has returned or not responded to other treatments.
Although linvoseltamab remains under study, the safety results so far are promising. It is important to note that more safety information is being collected, and ongoing trials aim to confirm these findings.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Linvoseltamab is unique because it targets multiple myeloma differently than existing treatments like proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. It works by specifically targeting a protein on the surface of myeloma cells, which may enhance its ability to fight the cancer more directly. Plus, the dosing regimen of linvoseltamab is designed to steadily increase its presence in the body, potentially leading to more effective control of the disease over time. Researchers are excited about its potential to offer a new option for patients, especially those who have not responded well to current therapies.
What evidence suggests that linvoseltamab might be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma?
Studies have shown that linvoseltamab effectively treats relapsed or hard-to-treat multiple myeloma. In one study, 71% of patients responded to the treatment, and 50% achieved a complete response, with all signs of cancer disappearing. Another study demonstrated high response rates even in high-risk patients. Linvoseltamab is considered a strong option for patients who have already tried other treatments. This evidence suggests linvoseltamab could be a promising choice for those with difficult-to-treat multiple myeloma.26789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma who've had BCMA CAR T-cell therapy at least 6 months ago. They must have measurable disease, be in fair to good health (ECOG 0-3), and able to consent. Some may join if less than 6 months post-therapy but meet specific conditions.Inclusion Criteria
