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

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called KRT-232 combined with three standard myeloma drugs (carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) in 35 patients whose multiple myeloma had returned or stopped responding to treatment. The main goals were to check safety and find the best dose. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

Active substance

KRT-232 (MDM2 inhibitor) combined with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for multiple myeloma that has returned or stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it may not show strong anti-cancer effects. The study was terminated early, limiting the data available.
