Dose Escalation Study of Talquetamab in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (MonumenTAL-1)

May 7, 2026 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study of Talquetamab, a Humanized GPRC5D x CD3 Bispecific Antibody, in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of Talquetamab and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and dosing schedule assessed to be safe for Talquetamab (Part 1 [Dose Escalation]) and to further characterize the safety of Talquetamab at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 2 [Dose Expansion]).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary antitumor activity of Talquetamab administered to adult participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The overall safety of the study drug will be assessed by physical examinations, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiograms, adverse event monitoring, and concomitant medication usage. Disease evaluations will include peripheral blood and bone marrow assessments at screening (performed within 28 days) and to confirm stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), or relapse from CR. The end of study (study completion) is defined as the last study assessment for the last participant in the study. Study record NCT04634552 is Phase 2 part of this study and study record NCT03399799 is Phase 1 part of this study.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Experimental: Part 1: Dose Escalation (Talquetamab) - Intravenous (IV)
Participants will receive IV infusion of Talquetamab at minimum anticipated biologic effect level (MABEL)-based starting dose until the completion of the end of treatment visit. Subsequent dose levels will be selected based on the review of all available data including, but not limited to, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and preliminary antitumor activity data. Participants receiving IV dosing can transition to SC dosing through-out the study upon sponsor consultation. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to open-label extension (OLE) phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the long-term extension (LTE) and will continue to receive study treatment.
Drug: Talquetamab
Participants will receive IV infusion or SC injection of Talquetamab.
Experimental: Part 1: Dose Escalation (Talquetamab) - Subcutaneous (SC)
Participants will receive Talquetamab SC. The dose levels will be selected to identify safe and tolerable putative RP2D(s). All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.
Drug: Talquetamab
Participants will receive IV infusion or SC injection of Talquetamab.
Experimental: Part 2: Dose Expansion (Talquetamab)
Participants will receive IV infusion or SC injection of Talquetamab at each putative recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) as determined in Part 1. Participants receiving IV dosing can transition to SC dosing through-out the study upon sponsor consultation. All participants (ongoing and those who are in follow-up) will transition to OLE phase and will continue to receive the study treatment. Upon approval of amendment 19 and notification from the sponsor, participants will transition to the LTE and will continue to receive study treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1: Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)
Time Frame: Up to Day 28
The Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are based on drug related adverse events and defined as any of the following events: hematological / non-hematological toxicity of Grade 3 or higher.
Up to Day 28
Part 1 and Part 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: From signing of Informed Consent Form (ICF) up to follow up (until 100 days after the last dose of study drug or until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, if earlier [approximately 2.10 years])
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.
