Study Summary

This trial will test the side effects of a new combination treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with multiple myeloma who've had at least three prior treatments or whose disease resisted both proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. Participants must have measurable disease, be over 12 weeks post-autologous transplant, and agree to a bone marrow test.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of combining two immune therapy drugs, Nivolumab and Daratumumab, in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma to see how well they work together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions affecting various organs, infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, fatigue, blood count changes that can increase infection risk, and possible allergic responses.
