Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new drug called HPN217 (also known as MK-4002) in about 100 people whose multiple myeloma has returned or no longer responds to standard treatments. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the best dose, and see how the body processes it. This is not a cure, but a step toward better controlling this blood cancer.
