Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, TAK-079, for people with multiple myeloma who have already tried other treatments. The goal is to find the best dose of the new drug to give people, and to see how well it works and how safe it is.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma who have measurable disease, can take blood clot prevention meds if on lenalidomide, and have a life expectancy over 3 months. They must not have had prior MM therapy (except certain cases), recent major surgery or radiation, other clinical trials within 4 weeks, severe allergies to study drugs, active infections or certain other cancers.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dose of TAK-079 combined with standard myeloma treatments like Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone. It also offers continued access to TAK-079 for those previously in related studies and assesses long-term safety.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drug components, potential impact on organ function due to the disease's nature or treatment complications. Specific side effects of TAK-079 are not listed but may be similar to those of immunotherapies such as fatigue or infusion-related reactions.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment Phase: TAK-079 and VRdExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
TAK-079 subcutaneously, once weekly for 8 weeks, then once every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, and then once every 4 weeks thereafter, along with bortezomib, subcutaneously, once on Days 1, 8, and 15, for a maximum of 8 cycles, lenalidomide, orally, once daily for 21 days, and dexamethasone, orally or intravenously, once on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in each 28-day treatment until PD or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or termination of the study by sponsor for up to 2 years. The dosage of dexamethasone can be reduced for participants who are \>75 years, have poorly controlled diabetes, or had prior intolerance to or AE from corticosteroid therapy.
Group II: Treatment Phase: TAK-079 and LenDexExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
TAK-079, subcutaneously, once weekly for 8 weeks, then once every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, and then once every 4 weeks thereafter, along with lenalidomide, orally, once daily for 21 days and dexamethasone, orally or intravenously, once on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in each 28-day treatment until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or termination of the study by sponsor for up to 2 years. The dosage of dexamethasone can be reduced for participants who are greater than (\>) 75 years, have poorly controlled diabetes, or had prior intolerance to or AE from corticosteroid therapy.
Group III: Safety Extension Phase: TAK-079 and, if applicable, backbone therapy (LenDex, VRd, or PomDex)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
TAK-079 dosing and, if applicable, backbone therapy will be administered as per the schedule outlined in the parent study.
