Summary

This trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of elranatamab in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. The study will focus on improving how well patients tolerate the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, who have tried at least three different treatments without success and are not responding to their current treatment. Participants will receive the drug as outpatients and must be able to visit the clinic for doses.
What is being tested?
The study is testing elranatamab injections in an outpatient setting with intermittent dosing. The goal is to see if this approach makes the drug easier to tolerate and safer for patients who have relapsed or are resistant to other treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of elranatamab aren't listed here, similar drugs can cause immune system reactions, infusion-related discomfort, fatigue, nausea, bone marrow suppression leading to low blood cell counts, and increased risk of infections.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Elranatamab injectionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The administration of two step-up elranatamab doses (12 mg and 32 mg) and full dose 76 mg. The dosing interval for the first 6 cycles (each cycle q28 days) is every week, cycles 7-12 are bi-weekly. The dosing interval will increase to q4 weeks (cycle 13+) according to IMWG dose-response criteria of \>= VGPR. Further dosing interval increase to q8weeks (cycles 19+) will be done among participants based on response criteria IMWG of \>= CR.
