(MajesTEC-7)
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of teclistamab in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tec-DR) and talquetamab in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tal-DR) versus daratumumab, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (DRd).

Primary outcome measures
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time frame: From randomization to the date of disease progression or death (Up to 09 years)
PFS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization to either progressive disease or death, whichever comes first. Disease progression will be determined according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria.
12-Month Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negative Complete Response (CR)
Time frame: At Month 12
12-month MRD-negative CR is defined as participants who achieve MRD-negative status at 12 months, as determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS) with sensitivity of 10\^-5, prior to progressive disease or subsequent anti-myeloma therapy and who also achieve CR or better, according to IMWG criteria.

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.
