What this study is about
This is a single center, single treatment group$1 Phase Ib study with expansion group of participants designed to establish the safety and physiologic effects of sirolimus pre-conditioning followed by T-cell engaging bispecific antibody therapy.
View original scientific description
This is a single center, single arm Phase Ib study with expansion cohort designed to establish the safety and physiologic effects of sirolimus pre-conditioning followed by T-cell engaging bispecific antibody therapy.
Interventions
DRUG
Sirolimus
Sirolimus is an immunosuppressant drug. Sirolimus binds to FK binding protein 12 and inhibits mTOR. This then suppresses T-cell proliferation and inhibits progression from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle.
BIOLOGICAL
Teclistamab
Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that binds the CD3 receptor on T-cells and the B-cell maturation antigen on multiple myeloma cells and healthy B-lineage cells.
BIOLOGICAL
Talquetamb
Talquetamab is a bispecific antibody that binds the CD3 receptor on T-cells and the GPRC5d receptor on multiple myeloma cells.
Primary outcome measures
Phase Ib: Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) as measured by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0
Time frame: From treatment initiation through 30 days post last dose of study treatment
The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized by system organ class and/or preferred term, type of adverse event, severity (based on NCI CTCAE v5.0) grades), and relation to study treatment. The most severe grade per participant will be reported. Adverse events leading to premature discontinuation from the study intervention and serious treatment-emergent adverse events will be presented in tabular form.
Expansion Cohort: Participants change in the Teffector: Texhausted cell ratio
Time frame: From treatment initiation through 3 months
Testing the null hypothesis H0: ΔPost-Pre = 0 versus the alternative H1: ΔPost-Pre ≠ 0. Results will be used as preliminary estimates to inform a subsequent larger trial.

- Excluded concomitant medication exposures:
- Exposure to corticosteroids within 1 week of treatment start
- Exposure to calcineurin inhibitor or mTOR inhibitors (tacrolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus, sirolimus)

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.
