Experimental myeloma combo trial halted early

NCT ID NCT05556616

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called modakafusp alfa (TAK-573) combined with standard myeloma treatments in 15 adults with multiple myeloma. The main goal was to check safety and find the best dose. The study was terminated early, so we have limited information on how well it worked.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

modakafusp alfa (also called TAK-573) given with lenalidomide, bortezomib, carfilzomib, daratumumab, or pomalidomide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new combination treatment option for multiple myeloma that may help control the disease.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (phase 1) trial with only 15 participants, and it was terminated early, so results are limited. The drug may cause side effects or not work as hoped.
