Iberdomide for Multiple Myeloma
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II trial compares iberdomide maintenance therapy to disease monitoring for improving survival in patients who have received idecabtagene vicleucel (a type of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell \[CAR-T\] therapy) for multiple myeloma. The usual approach after treatment with idecabtagene vicleucel is to monitor the multiple myeloma without giving myeloma medications. There is currently no medication approved specifically for use after idecabtagene vicleucel treatment. Upon administration, iberdomide modifies the immune system and activates immune cells called T-cells, which could enhance the effectiveness of idecabtagene vicleucel. Iberdomide may keep multiple myeloma under control for longer than the usual approach (disease monitoring) after idecabtagene vicleucel, and may help multiple myeloma patients live longer.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you must stop all current medications, but you may need to switch from strong CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors to a different medication and wait for a washout period (time without taking certain medications) before starting the trial.
What evidence supports the effectiveness of the drug Iberdomide for treating multiple myeloma?
Is Idecabtagene Vicleucel safe for humans?
Idecabtagene Vicleucel, a treatment for multiple myeloma, has shown some serious side effects in studies, including cytokine release syndrome (a severe immune reaction) and neurological issues in a small percentage of patients. While it has been approved for use, these potential risks mean it is important to discuss safety with your doctor.678910
How is the treatment Idecabtagene Vicleucel different from other treatments for multiple myeloma?
Idecabtagene Vicleucel is a unique treatment for multiple myeloma because it is a CAR T-cell therapy, which means it uses modified immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. This approach is different from traditional drugs and has shown significant improvements in response rates and survival for patients who have not responded to other treatments.16101112

Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma who've had CAR-T therapy (idecabtagene vicleucel) within the past 80-110 days. They should be in stable condition or better and haven't taken any other myeloma treatments since, except possibly short steroids for CAR-T side effects. People can't join if they're resistant to Iberdomide or have had certain recent therapies.Inclusion Criteria
