What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether adding cevostamab to pomalidomide and dexamethasone helps people with multiple myeloma whose cancer returned after BCMA CAR-T therapy. The trial enrolls about 45 adults who have had one to four prior treatments, including a BCMA CAR-T therapy and standard myeloma drugs. Everyone receives the combination, and doctors track how well the cancer responds, how long responses last, and side effects such as cytokine release syndrome.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cevostamab, an experimental drug that redirects immune T cells to attack myeloma cells
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could offer another option for myeloma that has returned after CAR-T therapy, a setting with few good choices.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm phase 2 trial with no comparison group, so any benefit is hard to confirm. Cevostamab can cause cytokine release syndrome, a serious immune reaction, and the treatment may not control the cancer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 at screening and immediately prior to the start of administration of study treatment. * Received one to four lines of prior therapy, including prior B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) T-cell therapy * Multiple Myeloma diagnosis according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria * Is triple-class exposed, i.e. received anti- cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) therapy, a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and lenalidomide in any prior line * Participants must have measurable disease during screening Exclusion Criteria: * Known history of amyloidosis (e.g., positive Congo Red stain or equivalent in tissue biopsy or documented within serum amyloid P component scan) * Plasma cell leukemia or circulating plasma cell count exceeding 500 cells/µL or 5% of the peripheral blood white cells * History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to mAb therapy (or recombinant antibody-related fusion proteins) or known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of cevostamab * Gastrointestinal (GI) disease that might significantly alter absorption of oral drugs * Known active Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement, or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of MM. If either is suspected, negative whole-brain MRI and lumbar cytology are required.
