About this study
Official title: An Open-Label, Randomized Phase 3 Study of Linvoseltamab Monotherapy and Linvoseltamab Plus Carfilzomib Versus Standard of Care Combination Regimens in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This study is researching a drug called linvoseltamab (also called "study drug") either given alone or in combination with another anti-myeloma drug called carfilzomib, compared to several standard treatments for progressive Multiple Myeloma (MM) after at least 1 but no more than 3 prior therapies.
The aim of this study is to see if the safety and efficacy of linvoseltamab alone or in combination with carfilzomib can deliver better outcomes (deeper and longer responses that help extend life) than standard treatment options.

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
- What side effects may happen from taking the study drug
- How much study drug is in the blood at different times
- Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
- Being tested
- Linvoseltamab, Carfilzomib, Daratumumab, Dexamethasone, Pomalidomide
- Keywords
- BCMA X CD3 Bispecific Monoclonal Antibody, Bispecific combination therapy, Linvoseltamab, Carfilzomib, Proteasome inhibitor

Part 2
Measured: Up to 5 years

Change in patient reported Disease Symptoms (DS) per EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Multiple Myeloma (MM) module 20 [QLQ-MY20])
Part 2 EORTC QLQ-MY20 is an accompanying 20-item validated questionnaire that measure quality of life among patients living with MM across 4 scales (disease symptoms, side effect of treatment, body image and future perspective). A high score represents a high level of symptoms or problems.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Change in patient reported Treatment Side Effects (TSE) per EORTC QLQ-MY20
Part 2
Measured: Up to 5 years
Change in patient-reported health state per EuroQoL-5 Dimension-5 Level Scale [EQ-5D-5L]) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Part 2 The EQ-5D-5L is a generic questionnaire that measures HRQoL across 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) across 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, some problems, severe problems and extreme problems) and a VAS of pain (where 0: no pain and 10: worst pain), higher scores indicate higher pain.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Change in patient-reported overall impact of treatment per Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) item GP5
Part 2 FACIT Item GP5 is a recommended item by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in its recent draft guidance for cancer trials to assess patient-reported overall impact of treatment toxicity. It uses a single item "I am bothered by side effects of treatment" on a 5-point scale (0= not at all, 1= a little bit, 2= somewhat, 3= quite a bit, 4= very much)
Measured: Up to 5 years
