Stop maintenance medicine in multiple myeloma with low remaining disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This early-phase study looks at whether it’s safe to stop the usual “maintenance” medicine after a strong response in multiple myeloma. It aims to see if stopping treatment for people with very low remaining disease reduces drug exposure without allowing relapse too soon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have multiple myeloma and are able to do most daily activities (performance score 0–2)
- Your disease stage is R-ISS I, II, or III
- You finished a stem cell transplant (ASCT) and have been on maintenance medicine for at least 2 years
- At enrollment, your myeloma is controlled with either near-complete response (VGPR) or complete response (CR)
- You can understand the study and sign consent (or your legal representative can)
- You do not have certain related illnesses like plasma cell leukemia, AL amyloidosis, or POEMS

This Phase 2 study tests whether adding isatuximab and lenalidomide after an autologous stem cell transplant can keep multiple myeloma from coming back when tests show leftover (minimal) disease. If it works, it may improve how long you stay in response.
This study looks at whether it is safe to stop “maintenance” treatment for people with multiple myeloma who have been in remission for a long time, including those who stopped early because of side effects. It tests whether stopping therapy affects disease control and helps reduce ongoing treatment burden.
This study looks at whether people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma can safely continue or adjust treatment after they reach “MRD-negative,” meaning very low signs of disease in the bone marrow. It may help reduce the chance of relapse while avoiding unnecessary treatment for some patients.
This trial studies whether adding low-dose lenalidomide to ixazomib can help keep high-risk multiple myeloma from coming back after initial treatment. It may help prolong the time before the disease worsens, while also checking side effects.
This trial tests a personalized approach to maintenance therapy for people with multiple myeloma who have already had a stem cell transplant. Your treatment plan may be adjusted based on how well your cancer responds and on certain risk factors, with the goal of keeping you in remission longer.
This early-phase study tests how safe and effective several treatment approaches are for people with multiple myeloma who have already had other treatments. Depending on your myeloma features and prior care, a study drug combination may be offered to try to control the disease.
