A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This study involves people with two conditions that may lead to a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. The first condition is High-Risk Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance, which means the body is producing abnormal proteins that could develop into cancer. The second condition is Non-High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, where abnormal plasma cells are present in the bone marrow but have not yet caused symptoms or damage. The study will use a medication called Linvoseltamab, also known by its code name REGN5458, which is given through an infusion into a vein. Additional medications may be used to manage side effects, including diphenhydramine hydrochloride (an antihistamine taken by mouth), tocilizumab (given through an infusion), dexamethasone (a corticosteroid that can be taken by mouth or given through an infusion), and paracetamol (a pain and fever reliever taken by mouth).
The purpose of this study is to find out if Linvoseltamab can eliminate the abnormal plasma cells that might turn into multiple myeloma and to determine the safest and most effective dose to use. The study will also look at how well people tolerate the medication and whether it causes any unwanted effects. In the first part of the study, different dose levels of Linvoseltamab will be tested in small groups to identify the highest dose that can be given safely. In the second part, a larger group of people will receive the selected dose to see how well it works at causing a complete response, which means the abnormal cells can no longer be detected.
During the study, participants will receive Linvoseltamab through infusions over a period of up to 27 months. Doctors will monitor participants closely for any side effects and will check blood samples to see if the treatment is working. The study will measure whether participants achieve a complete response, meaning all signs of the abnormal cells have disappeared, and whether this response lasts over time. Other measurements will include checking for minimal residual disease, which looks for very small amounts of abnormal cells that may still be present, and tracking how long people remain free from the disease getting worse. Blood tests will also be done to measure the amount of Linvoseltamab in the body and to check if the body develops antibodies against the medication.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

Linvoseltamab is an investigational medication being studied in this clinical trial. It is given to patients to help treat conditions related to abnormal proteins in the blood and bone marrow. The study is testing different amounts of this medication to find out which dose works best and is safest for patients. The medication aims to help eliminate abnormal cells and achieve a complete response, meaning the signs of disease are no longer detectable.
This is a condition where the body produces an abnormal protein called monoclonal protein or M protein in the blood. The condition occurs when plasma cells in the bone marrow make too much of a single type of protein. Most people with this condition do not experience any symptoms and may not know they have it. In some cases, the condition remains stable for many years without causing health problems. However, in certain individuals classified as high-risk, the abnormal protein production may increase over time. The condition requires monitoring because it can sometimes progress to more serious blood disorders.
This is an early stage condition where abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow and produce abnormal proteins. The condition is characterized by higher levels of abnormal plasma cells or M protein compared to monoclonal gammopathy, but without causing symptoms or organ damage. People with this condition typically do not experience bone pain, anemia, kidney problems, or other symptoms associated with active disease. The condition progresses slowly and can remain stable for months or years. Non-high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma refers to cases where the likelihood of progression to active disease is lower based on certain laboratory and clinical features. Regular monitoring is important as the condition may eventually progress in some individuals.
