NCT ID NCT05675449

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tests two new drug combinations for people with multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. One group gets elranatamab (an immune-boosting shot) plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone; the other gets elranatamab plus maplirpacept. The main goal is to check safety and find the right doses. About 59 participants will be treated for up to 2 years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Elranatamab (a drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells) combined with either carfilzomib plus dexamethasone or maplirpacept

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward new combination treatments for multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) study with only 59 people, focused on safety and dosing—not yet on effectiveness. The combinations may cause side effects or fail to work better than existing options.
