MajesTEC-9: This study is evaluating the effectiveness of immunotherapy, compared to targeted therapy and steroids, in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have had prior therapyA Phase 3 Randomized Study Comparing Teclistamab Monotherapy Versus Pomalidomide, Bortezomib, Dexamethasone (PVd) or Carfilzomib, Dexamethasone (Kd) in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received 1 to 3 Prior Lines of Therapy, Including an Anti-CD38 Monoclonal Antibody and Lenalidomide

Clinical summary

Summary

This study is recruiting people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of treatment, including an Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody and lenalidomide.

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms.

In Arm A, participants will receive Teclistamab immunotherapy as monotherapy (by itself). Teclistamab will be administered subcutaneously (under the skin).

In Arm B, participants will receive the principal investigator's choice of either Pomalidomide, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (PVd) or Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone (Kd).

Pomalidomide is a targeted therapy, and will be administered orally. Bortezomib is also a targeted therapy, and will be administered subcutaenously. Carfilzomib will be adminsitered intravenously.Dexamethasone is a type of steroid, and will be administered orally when given as part of PVd and given intravneously or orally as part of Kd.
