First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Prior diagnosis of multiple myeloma as defined by IMWG criteria. * Measurable disease based on IMWG criteria as defined by at least 1 of the following: * Serum M-protein ≥0.5 g/dL. * Urinary M-protein excretion ≥200 mg/24 hours. * Serum immunoglobulin FLC ≥10 mg/dL (≥100 mg/L) AND abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa to lambda FLC ratio (\<0.26 or \>1.65). * Part 1: Received at least 1 but not more than 3 prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma (induction therapy followed by stem cell transplant and consolidation/maintenance therapy will be considered as 1 line of therapy). * Part 2: Received at least 3 prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma who are refractory to at least one IMiD, one PI and one anti-CD38 antibody. * ECOG performance status 0-1. * Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy to baseline severity or CTCAE Grade ≤1. * Not pregnant or breastfeeding and willing to use contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Plasma cell leukemia, Smouldering MM, Waldenströms macroglobulinemia, Amyloidosis, POEMS Syndrome, Primary refractory MM * Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular diseases. * Participants with any active, uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. * Stem cell transplant within 12 weeks prior to enrollment, or active graft versus host disease. * Any other active malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ. * Part 1: Previous treatment with a BCMA-directed therapy. * Part 2: Previous treatment with any anti-BCMA directed therapy, with the exception of CAR-T. Previous treatment with a CD47-SIRP alpha-directed therapy. * Part 1: Prior treatment with carfilzomib * Live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks of the first dose of study intervention. * Administration with an investigational product (e.g. drug or vaccine) concurrent with study intervention or within 30 days preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study. * Any of the following within 3 months of enrollment: erosive esophagitis, treatment resistant peptic ulcer, infectious or inflammatory bowel disease, pulmonary embolism or uncontrolled thromboembolic event. * Intolerance to or participants who have had a severe (Grade ≥3) allergic or anaphylactic reaction to antibodies or therapeutic proteins
