NCT ID NCT04123418
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tested a new drug called WVT078, alone or with another drug (WHG626), in 56 people with multiple myeloma that returned or didn't respond to at least two prior treatments. The main goal was to find a safe dose and check for side effects. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
