This is a phase 1, open-label study evaluating the safety, clinical pharmacology and clinical activity of TNB-383B, a BCMA x CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, in participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy. The study consists of 4 portions, a monotherapy dose escalation (Arm A) and a monotherapy dose expansion (Arm B), Monotherapy once every 4 weeks (Q4W) dosing (Arm E), Monotherapy once every 3 weeks (Q3W) dosing (Arm F). Arm A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of escalating doses of single-agent TNB-383B, administered Q3W, in approximately 73 participants. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose, (RP2D) is identified in Arm A, Arm B will be initiated to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK and PD profiles of the MTD/RP2D 2 dose expansion arms of 48 participants each. Dose A will be evaluated as a monotherapy Q4W, in Arm E to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK and PD profiles of the MTD/RP2D 2 dose expansion arms of 20 participants. Dose C will be evaluated as a monotherapy, in Arm F to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK and PD profiles of the MTD/RP2D 2 dose expansion arms of 25 participants.
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.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
AbbVie Inc (ABBV) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (58/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
