Experimental cocktail targets Hard-to-Treat myeloma

NCT ID NCT01562405

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

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called sotatercept (ACE-011) combined with standard myeloma drugs lenalidomide or pomalidomide and dexamethasone in 33 patients whose multiple myeloma has returned or stopped responding to treatment. The main goal is to find the safest dose of sotatercept and begin to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
