Right now, I’m getting cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), carfilzomib (Kyprolis), and dexamethasone every week. I’m tolerating it very well. Even though I had it in 2019 and eventually relapsed, it’s working for me.
After this, I’m hoping to try TAK-573 in a clinical trial.
Abstract
Background TAK-573, a humanized, anti-CD38, IgG4, monoclonal antibody genetically fused to two attenuated IFN?2b molecules, was designed for targeted delivery of attenuated IFN?2b to CD38 expressing (CD38+) cells, utilizing a unique epitope of CD38 that does not compete with current anti-CD38 therapies. Preclinical evaluation of TAK-573 confirmed activation of type I IFN signaling in CD38+ cells inducing direct anti-proliferative effects on multiple myeloma (MM) cells and direct and indirect immune cell activation. Here we provide the preliminary analyses of the pharmacodynamic data currently available from the ongoing Ph I/II TAK-573-1501 clinical study in patients with relapsed/refractory MM (NCT03215030).
