About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Study Comparing Talquetamab to Belantamab Mafodotin in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received at Least 4 Prior Therapies Including an Immunomodulatory Drug, a Proteasome Inhibitor, and an Anti-CD38 Antibody

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of talquetamab versus belantamab mafodotin in terms of overall response rate (ORR) or progression-free survival (PFS).

Read the detailed description

Multiple myeloma is an incurable, malignant, plasma cell disorder that accounts for approximately 18 percent (%) of hematological malignancies, making it the second most common hematologic malignancy. Talquetamab (also known as JNJ-64407564) is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) bispecific antibody designed to target G Protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D+) cells and cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) receptor complex on T-cells. Belantamab mafodotin is a humanized B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb) conjugated to a cytotoxic agent maleimidocaproyl monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) which disrupts the microtubule network, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This study will investigate the possible improvement of ORR or PFS with talquetamab compared with belantamab mafodotin in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 4 prior therapies including an anti-CD38 mAb (alone or in combination), and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor (PI) and one immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). The study will consists of a screening phase, treatment phase (until confirmed progressive disease, start of subsequent antimyeloma therapy, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first), and post-treatment follow-up phase (until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or end of the study, whichever occurs first). Safety evaluations will include a review of adverse events, physical examinations, eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status, clinical laboratory tests, and vital signs.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response of partial response (PR) or better according to international myeloma working group (IMWG) criteria.

    Measured: Up to 1 year 3 months

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization to either progressive disease or death, whichever comes first.

    Measured: Up to 1 year 3 months

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better Response Rate

    VGPR or better response rate is defined as percentage of participants with best overall response of VGPR or better according to IMWG criteria.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Complete Response (CR) or Better Response Rate

    CR or better response is defined as percentage of participants with best overall response of CR or better according to IMWG criteria.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  4. Time to Progression on the First Subsequent Line of Therapy or Death, Whichever Comes First (PFS2)

    PFS2 is defined as time from randomization to progression on the first subsequent line of therapy or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  5. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  6. Number of Participants with AEs by Severity

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening, and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Talquetamab and Belantamab Mafodotin in people with Relapsed/ Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 1 year 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2025.
