New Four-Drug cocktail aims to wipe out Hard-to-Treat myeloma
NCT ID NCT07709884
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of four drugs—sotoclax, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (called SonKRd)—in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma that has a specific genetic change called t(11;14). Participants must be healthy enough for a stem cell transplant. The main goal is to see how many patients achieve minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, meaning no cancer cells can be detected after treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a combination of four drugs: sotoclax, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this regimen could offer a highly effective first-line treatment for people with this specific genetic subtype of multiple myeloma, potentially leading to deeper and longer-lasting remissions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination also carries risks of side effects from the drugs, including infections and organ stress.

Accompanied by mental illnesses requiring inpatient treatment in psychiatric hospitals or controlled institutions, as well as continuous and frequent outpatient treatment, or exhibiting a dependent cognitive state that cannot be controlled by caregivers (confirmed by a specialist physician); 7. Accompanied by severe pulmonary infection, skin and soft tissue infection, or urinary tract infection; 8. Patients experiencing unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, heart failure NYHA class III or IV, uncontrolled severe coronary artery disease, uncontrolled severe ventricular arrhythmias, sick sinus syndrome, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or third-degree conduction block within 4 months prior to enrollment, except for those with a cardiac pacemaker; 9. Poorly controlled hypertension or hyperglycemia within 14 days prior to enrollment; 10.

Subjects with uncontrolled active or chronic liver diseases and medical histories (including but not limited to viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) or subjects with significant abnormalities in liver function, or other liver-related diseases that, in the investigator's judgment, may affect drug metabolism or subject safety; 12. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding 13. Situations where researchers determine that the participant is not suitable for enrollment.
