Multiple Myeloma
| • | | The Company entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) to evaluate BMS’ proprietary investigational cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD™) agent mezigdomide in combination with selinexor in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma progressing after T-cell immunotherapies. This trial will evaluate mezigdomide in combination with selinexor doses of either 40mg or 60mg plus dexamethasone in patients who have prior exposure to immunomodulatory drug agent, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody treatment. All patients must have received at least two prior lines of therapy, and either have progressed after or are not eligible to receive CAR-T or bispecific antibody treatment. Under the terms of the agreement with BMS, Karyopharm will sponsor the trial as a new arm of its Phase 1b/2 STOMP trial and BMS will supply the study’s clinical drug mezigdomide. |
