The main purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of linvoseltamab and to find out what is the best dose of linvoseltamab to give to patients with multiple myeloma and to look for any signs that linvoseltamab can effectively treat cancer. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * Side effects that may be experienced by people receiving linvoseltamab * How linvoseltamab works in the body * How much linvoseltamab is present in the blood * How linvoseltamab may work to treat cancer
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (47/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
