A Study to Evaluate AMG 701 in Subjects with Multiple Myeloma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine (during the escalation portion) if AMG 701 given as weekly short term IV infusions is safe and tolerable followed by a dose expansion part to gain further efficacy and safety experience with AMG 701 in adult subjects with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
