Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness and safety of G-CSF + BL-8040 to G-CSF + placebo in 207 subjects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Multiple Myeloma in first or second complete or partial remission, good performance status, and proper organ function. They must be eligible for stem cell transplant and not have had previous transplants, failed collections, certain medications recently, live vaccines within 30 days, active CNS metastases, other trials participation, serious health issues that could affect the trial's outcome or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The study compares the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment using BL-8040 with G-CSF versus a placebo with G-CSF to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells for autologous transplantation in Multiple Myeloma patients. It's a double-blind study where neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real treatment until after results are collected.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to components of BL-8040 or G-CSF; changes in blood counts; kidney, liver or coagulation problems; fatigue; infection risk due to immune system impact; heart-related issues like abnormal ECG readings.
