In the US, linvoseltamab is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.5

History

Efficacy was evaluated in LINKER-MM1 (NCT03761108), an open-label, multi-center multi-cohort trial.5 The trial included participants who had previously received at least three prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody.5 The trial excluded participants with prior BCMA-directed bispecific antibody therapy, prior bispecific T-cell engaging therapy, or prior BCMA CAR-T cell therapy.5 The efficacy population included 80 participants who had received at least 4 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.5
