Phase 1/2 Study of Linvoseltamab in Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
(LINKER-MM1)
What this study is about
The main purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of linvoseltamab and to find out what is the best dose of linvoseltamab to give to patients with multiple myeloma and to look for any signs that linvoseltamab can effectively treat cancer.

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
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1
- Confirmed diagnosis of active Multiple Myeloma (MM) by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria
- Patients must have myeloma that is response-evaluable according to the 2016 IMWG response criteria as defined in the protocol.
- Phase 1, Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Patients with MM who have exhausted all therapeutic options that are expected to provide meaningful clinical benefit, either through disease relapse, treatment refractory disease or intolerance of the therapy and including either: a. Progression on or after at least 3 lines of therapy, or intolerance of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an Immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 antibody, OR b. Progression on or after an anti-CD38 antibody and have disease that is "double refractory" to a proteasome inhibitor and an IMiD, or intolerance of therapy. The anti-CD38 antibody may have been administered alone or in combination with another agent such as a proteasome inhibitor (PI). Refractory disease is defined as lack of response or relapse within 60 days of last treatment.
- Phase 1, Part 2 (SC Administration): Patients with MM whose disease meets the following criteria: a. Progression on or after at least 3 prior lines of therapy including a(n) PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody, OR b. Patients must be triple-refractory, defined as being refractory to prior treatment with at least 1 anti-CD38 antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an IMiD.
- Phase 2 (Cohorts 1 and 2): Patients with MM whose disease meets the following criteria: a. Progression on or after at least 3 prior lines of therapy including a(n) PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody, OR b. Patients must be triple- refractory, defined as being refractory\
- to prior treatment with at least 1 PI, 1 IMiD, and an anti-CD38 antibody.
- Phase 2 (Cohort 3): Patients with MM whose disease meets the following criteria:
- Progression on or after at least 3 prior lines of therapy including a(n) PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody, OR
- Patients must be triple- refractory, defined as being refractory\
- to prior treatment with at least 1 PI, 1 IMiD, and an anti-CD38 antibody.
- Refractory disease is defined as progression during treatment or within 60 days after completion of therapy, or \<25% response to therapy. AND, for ALL patients, if they have relapsed after a BCMA-directed CAR-T cellular therapy then: • Treatment with a CAR-T must have been associated with a response of PR or better, and • If CAR-T cellular therapy was the most recent prior therapy, excluding corticosteroids, then treatment must have been a minimum of 60 days prior to treatment with linvoseltamab. Key
Exclusion criteria
- 1\. Diagnosis of plasma cell leukemia, primary systemic light-chain amyloidosis, (excluding myeloma-associated amyloidosis), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma), or POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes) 2. Patients with known MM brain lesions or meningeal involvement 3. Cardiac ejection fraction \<40% by echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) 4. Prior treatment with BCMA-directed immunotherapies, including BCMA bispecific antibodies and BiTEs. Note: BCMA antibody-drug conjugates are not excluded and BCMA-directed CAR-T treatment is not excluded in Phase 2 Cohort 3. 5\. History of allogeneic stem cell transplantation at any time, or autologous stem cell transplantation within 12 weeks of the start of study treatment Note: Other protocol defined inclusion / exclusion criteria apply

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.
