Oral small-molecule "molecular glue" degrader · newly diagnosed/maintenance multiple myeloma Phase III clinical trial

Official protocol title:A Two-Stage, Randomized, Multicenter, Controlled, Open-Label, Phase III Study Comparing Iberdomide Maintenance Therapy with Lenalidomide Maintenance Therapy Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) in Participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM)

Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb (China) Investment Co., Ltd.Updated: 9/4/2026
Target CohortNewly diagnosed/Maintenance(Synthesized by CMDN from protocol summary; final eligibility confirmed by study doctors)

Trial Summary

This project is a Phase III clinical trial sponsored by Celgene (Bristol Myers Squibb/BMS), primarily targeting patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Eligible patients must have received 3 to 6 cycles of prior induction therapy (including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug), subsequently completed autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and achieved at least a partial response (PR). Patients are randomized to receive maintenance therapy with either the investigational drug Iberdomide (a novel immunomodulatory agent administered for 21 days of each 28-day cycle) or the control drug lenalidomide (a conventional immunomodulatory agent administered continuously in 28-day cycles) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The trial is conducted concurrently across 38 premier centers in China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan)—such as Peking University People's Hospital, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University—as well as leading international medical centers across 32 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Study

Structured facts derived from official protocol filings for patient and family reference

QWhich patient group is targeted by this clinical trial?

According to official protocol filings (target population synthesized by CMDN from study details, not an official CDE field), this study is primarily designed for patients with [Newly diagnosed/Maintenance]. Eligibility requires verified clinical confirmation by investigators regarding prior lines of therapy, active disease biomarkers, and performance status.

QWhat are the specific eligibility criteria regarding age, performance status, and prior therapy?

According to verified protocol filings, key eligibility thresholds include: age ≥ 18 years, ECOG performance status ≤ 2. The study specifies 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria covering detailed organ function and medical history. Final enrollment confirmation is determined by investigators at participating hospital trial centers.

QWhat are the investigational targets and mechanism of action?

The core therapeutic target or investigational mechanism is [Oral small-molecule "molecular glue" degrader (next-generation Cereblon E3 ligase modulator [CELMoD])]. It aims to selectively eradicate clonal plasma cells or redirect anti-tumor immune responses, representing an active area of precision hematology research.

QWhat clinical phase is this study in?

This study is registered as a [Phase III] clinical trial. The protocol is conducted under rigorous ethical and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) oversight approved by institutional ethics committees.

QWhere are the participating hospital trial centers located?

This is an international multi-centre study with 6 study centres in China and 31 overseas centres. The lead institution is [Peking University People's Hospital]. Prominent sites include Peking University People's Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, among others. Eligible domestic patients can seek screening at the nearest participating centre.

QWhat is the official trial registration code and how can it be verified?

The official public registration identifier for this protocol is [CTR20232917] (CDE_CTR). Patients and researchers can verify registration details and regulatory authorizations directly on the official NMPA CDE platform.

Note for International Patients: Trial centers for this study are located in China. Interventional trials strictly comply with domestic Human Genetic Resources (HGRAC) regulations and standard hospital protocols, which generally restrict enrollment to residents with domestic healthcare identification. International patients seeking approved cellular therapies should review commercial options.
