A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Teclistamab-, Talquetamab-, and JNJ-79635322-based Combination Regimens in Participants with Newly Diagnosed Transplant Eligible Multiple Myeloma
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of teclistamab-, talquetamab-, and JNJ-79635322-based combination regimens over the entire treatment phase for each arm, in participants with ND-TEMM
To evaluate the efficacy of teclistamab- and talquetamab-based combination regimens as induction and post-transplant maintenance treatments; JNJ-79635322-based combinations as induction and as replacement for HDT+ASCT following induction; and teclistamab in combination with talquetamab
OVERALL DESIGN:
160 participants will be enrolled with 10 participants in Arm A, 20 participants in Arm A1, 20 participants in Arm B, 10 participants in Arms C and 10 in C2, 20 participants in Arm D, 10 participants in each Arm E, E1 and optionally F and F, and 20 participants in Arm G. Cohorts may be further expanded.
Arms A, A1, B, D, E, E1, F, F1 will receive Induction therapy of 6 cycles (28-days each):
Treatment: Tec-DRd (Arm A, A1), Tec-DVRd (Arm B), Tal-DRd (Arms E, E1), Tal-DVRd (Arms F, F1) followed by HDT and a single ASCT according to local SoC treatment. Thereafter a Maintenance Therapy of maximum 18 cycles with either Tec-D (Arms A, A1, B, E, F) or Tal-D (E1, F1) is performed.
Arm D will receive 6 28-days cycles Tec-DVRd induction followed by 18 cycles Tec-Tal. Arm G will receive 6 28-day cycles of JNJ-79635322-DRd induction, followed by JNJ-79635322-D. No HDT ASCT will be performed in Arm D and Arm G.
In Arm C and C2 participants will enter the study for maintenance treatment of 18 cycles with Tec-D (Arm C) or Tal-DR (Arm C2) , after induction, HDT and ASCT according to local SoC (outside of the study).
Participants will receive maintenance treatment or following induction treatment (Arm D and G) for a maximum of 18 cycles or until confirmed progressive disease, death, intolerable toxicity, loss to follow-up, or consent withdrawal, whichever comes first. An optional end of treatment is possible for patients who have 12 months sustained MRD negativity.
Periodic safety evaluations will be conducted to ensure that treatment is safe and tolerable. Upon treatment discontinuation, an EOT Visit will be conducted. Thereafter, the participant will continue in the Follow-up Phase until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or end of the study, whichever occurs first.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.
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.
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.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
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.
The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.
“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.
CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.
Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Started Dec 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2028, 69 months after the start.
Of 412 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Multiple Myeloma, half reached primary completion within 59 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 40 and three quarters within 96. This study's planned 69 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 505 studies reached it within 57 months; a quarter within 35 and three quarters within 95.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
