A Study to Assess Adverse Events of Intravenously (IV) Infused Etentamig (ABBV-383) in Adult Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
What this study is about
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment.
View original scientific description
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of etentamig (ABBV-383) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Etentamig (ABBV-383) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study is broken into 4 Arms; Arm A (Parts 1 and 2), Arm B and Arms C \& D. Arm A includes 2 parts: step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 (Dose A) will be used followed by the target dose A of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Arm B a flat dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) will be tested. In Arms C \& D, the step-up dose identified in Arm A will be used followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) to investigate outpatient administration of etentamig (ABBV-383). Around 210 adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled at approximately 50 sites across the world. Participants will receive etentamig (ABBV-383) as an infusion into the vein in 28 day cycles for approximately 3 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Must have measurable disease as outlined in the protocol.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of \<= 2. Arm C and Arm D: ECOG performance of \<= 1.
- Relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen based on the investigator's determination of the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 criteria.
- Must be naïve to treatment with etentamig (ABBV-383).
- Arm A: Must have received at least 3 or more lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
- Arm B: Must have received at least 2 or more lines of therapy, including exposure to a PI, an IMiD, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and a prior B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy (must be an anti-drug conjugate \[ADC\] or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell \[CAR-T\] directed against BCMA).
- Arm C: Must have received at least 2 or more lines of therapy, including exposure to a PI, an IMiD, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Must be suitable for outpatient administration of etentamig (ABBV-383).
- Arm D: Must have received at least 1 and no more than 3 prior lines of therapy, including exposure to a PI, an IMiD, or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Must be suitable for outpatient administration of etentamig (ABBV-383).
Exclusion criteria
- Arm A: Received BCMA-targeted therapy.
- Arm C and Arm D: Rapidly progressing disease per investigator.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
