First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests an investigational drug called ABBV-438 in about 127 adults with multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. The study has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, then testing that dose in more people. The main goal is to check safety and how the drug moves through the body, while also looking for signs that it might shrink the cancer.
