Multiple myeloma patients get continued access to promising drug

NCT ID NCT02719613

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study offers continued treatment with elotuzumab (plus dexamethasone) to 67 multiple myeloma patients who were already benefiting from it in earlier trials. The main goal is to keep providing the drug and track how long patients stay on treatment. Researchers will also monitor any new or serious side effects. This is not a test of whether the drug works, but a way to ensure ongoing access for those who need it.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Elotuzumab (with dexamethasone)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study allows patients to keep receiving a treatment that may help control their multiple myeloma without interruption.

What could go wrong

This is an extension study, not a new test of effectiveness. It only includes patients already benefiting, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from long-term use remain possible.
