Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of etentamig (ABBV-383) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Etentamig (ABBV-383) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study is broken into 4 Arms; Arm A (Parts 1 and 2), Arm B and Arms C \& D. Arm A includes 2 parts: step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 (Dose A) will be used followed by the target dose A of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Arm B a flat dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) will be tested. In Arms C \& D, the step-up dose identified in Arm A will be used followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) to investigate outpatient administration of etentamig (ABBV-383). Around 210 adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled at approximately 50 sites across the world. Participants will receive etentamig (ABBV-383) as an infusion into the vein in 28 day cycles for approximately 3 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
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.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
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.
