Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and tolerated by patients with a certain type of cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who've had at least three prior treatments, including specific inhibitors and antibodies, and have measurable disease. Not for those with plasma cell leukemia, non-secretory myeloma without measurable disease, recent transplants or autoimmune diseases (with some exceptions), or a second primary malignancy not in remission for over 3 years.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing HPN217's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body) in patients whose multiple myeloma has returned after treatment or hasn't responded to previous therapies.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of HPN217 are not listed but generally may include typical reactions such as nausea, fatigue, allergic responses to the drug infusion itself and potential impacts on blood counts leading to increased infection risk.
