Elranatamab for Multiple Myeloma
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it does mention that you cannot use other anti-cancer agents or treatments while participating.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Elranatamab for treating multiple myeloma?
Research shows that Elranatamab, a drug used for multiple myeloma, had a 63.6% response rate in patients who had previously tried other treatments, with many achieving complete response. It also showed promising survival rates, with a median progression-free survival of 11.8 months and overall survival of 21.2 months.12345
How is the drug Elranatamab different from other treatments for multiple myeloma?
Elranatamab is unique because it is a bispecific antibody that targets both BCMA on myeloma cells and CD3 on T cells, activating the T cells to attack the cancer cells. It is administered subcutaneously and has shown promising results even in patients who have had multiple prior treatments, including those who have already received BCMA-directed therapies.12346
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Elranatamab therapy after cilta-cel measuring how long a patient with high risk relapsed myeloma lives without the myeloma getting worse(progressing), also known as progression-free survival (PFS). Patients with clinical high-risk myeloma, defined as having history of myeloma that has grown outside of the bones or having high risk mutations in the myeloma cells, benefit less from cilta-cel compared to myeloma patients without these characteristics.
