Inclusion criteria

  • Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria
  • Participant must have defined by any of the following: Serum M-protein level greater than or equal to (>=) 1.0 gram per deciliter (g/dL); Urine M-protein level >= 200 milligrams per 24 hours (mg/24 hours); or Light chain MM, for participants without measurable disease in the serum or urine: serum Ig-free light chain (FLC) >=10 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and abnormal serum Ig kappa-lambda FLC ratio; or if central laboratory assessments are not available, relevant local laboratory measurements must exceed the minimum required level by at least 25 percent (%)
  • Participant must be to established therapies with known clinical benefit in relapsed/refractory MM or be intolerant to established MM therapies and a candidate for teclistamab treatment in the opinion of the treating physician. must include a proteasome inhibitors (PI), an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 antibody in any order during the course of treatment. Participants who could not tolerate PI, immunomodulatory drugs, or anti-CD38 antibody are allowed
  • (ECOG) performance status grade of 0 or 1 at screening and immediately before the start of study treatment administration
  • Woman of must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and within 24 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment using highly sensitive pregnancy test either serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [beta-hCG]) or urine

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  • Prior treatment with any B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy
  • Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies that have not resolved to baseline levels or to less than or equal to (\<=) Grade 1 except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy
  • Received a cumulative dose of equivalent to >=140 mg of prednisone within the 14-day period before the first step-up dose of study treatment (does not include pretreatment medication)
  • Stem cell transplantation: An stem cell transplant within 6 months. Participants who received an allogeneic transplant must be off all medications for 6 weeks without signs of ; Received an autologous stem cell transplant less than or equal (\<=) 12 weeks before the first step-up dose of study treatment
  • Central nervous system involvement or clinical signs of meningeal involvement of MM. If either is suspected, whole brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar cytology are required during screening
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non investigational) product.

    Change from baseline in EORTC- QLQ-C30 score will be reported. The EORTC- QLQ-C30 Version 3 includes 30 items that make up 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (pain, fatigue, and nausea/vomiting), and 6 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties).

Higher score indicate greater severity.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year and 5 months

Ran from Feb 2021 to primary completion in Apr 2026, 61 months.

Of 64 phase 1/2 interventional studies under Hematologic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 76 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 51 and three quarters within 127. This study's 61 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 5, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
