Phase 1
Waitlist Available
Led By Andrew J. Yee, MD
Research Sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow > 10% and/or presence of a biopsy-proven plasmacytoma
Patient must have received at least 1 line of prior systemic therapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma. A line of treatment is sequential treatment without interruption for response and subsequent progression
Must not have
Participants with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to ACE 011, Lenalidomide or Dexamethasone
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 2 years

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with multiple myeloma who've had at least one prior treatment. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, have a decent level of physical function (ECOG 0-2), and show specific signs of the disease in their blood, urine, or bone marrow. Those needing recent radiotherapy should wait two weeks post-treatment to join.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing Sotatercept (ACE-011) combined with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone to find the highest safe dose against multiple myeloma. This study aims to see if this combo can slow cancer growth while helping anemia and bone issues related to the disease.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions where the drug enters the body, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, fatigue, risk of infections due to low white blood cell counts, bleeding issues from low platelets, and potential harm to unborn babies.
