Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of three drugs as a possible treatment for smoldering multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) likely to progress to multiple myeloma can join. They must understand and sign consent, agree to use contraception, have no other cancer treatments in the last 4 weeks, and meet health criteria including normal organ function and 'high-risk' SMM status.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination of Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide (Revlimid), and Dexamethasone for treating SMM. Participants will undergo eight cycles of treatment with these drugs followed by up to twelve additional cycles with just Lenalidomide if their disease doesn't progress.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system suppression such as increased infection risk, blood disorders, liver issues from Lenalidomide; steroid-related effects like mood swings or blood sugar changes from Dexamethasone; and heart or lung complications from Carfilzomib.
