MajesTEC-9 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two different cancer treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with multiple myeloma who've had 1-3 prior treatments but didn't respond well or their disease got worse. They must meet specific criteria for measurable disease, be able to follow the study's lifestyle rules, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and have a decent ability to perform daily activities (ECOG score of 0-2). People can't join if they've had BCMA-targeted therapy before, certain allergies or conditions like CNS involvement in their cancer, recent live vaccines, or other specific blood disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see how effective Teclistamab alone is compared to two other treatment combinations: Pomalidomide with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (PVd), or Carfilzomib with Dexamethasone (Kd) in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Participants will receive one of these therapies based on random assignment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Teclistamab may cause infusion reactions, infections due to low white blood cell counts, tiredness, nausea. PVd/Kd treatments might lead to similar effects plus possible nerve damage from Bortezomib and heart issues from Carfilzomib.

Answered by AI

Could you please explain the potential risks associated with taking Pomalidomide, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (PVd) or Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone (Kd)?

"Pomalidomide, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (PVd) or Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone (Kd) have both undergone multiple rounds of testing to prove their safety, so they received a score of 3."
