Brief Summary
This study is researching a drug called linvoseltamab (also called "study drug") either given alone or in combination with another anti-myeloma drug called carfilzomib, compared to several standard treatments for progressive Multiple Myeloma (MM) after at least 1 but no more than 3 prior therapies. The aim of this study is to see if the safety and efficacy of linvoseltamab alone or in combination with carfilzomib can deliver better outcomes (deeper and longer responses that help extend life) than standard treatment options. The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
- What side effects may happen from taking the study drug
- How much study drug is in the blood at different times
- Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participant with RRMM who received at least 1 but not more than 3 prior lines of therapy, which must have included treatment with lenalidomide and either a Protease Inhibitor (PI) or anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤2
- Confirmed progressive disease according to IMWG criteria during or after the most recent line of therapy
You may not qualify if:
- Prior treatment with a T cell-based immunotherapy targeting BCMA, including BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies, Bispecific T-cell Engagers (BiTEs), and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells. Antibody-drug conjugates targeting BCMA (eg, belantamab mafodotin) are not excluded
- Diagnosis of plasma cell leukemia, symptomatic amyloidosis (including myeloma-associated amyloidosis), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma), or POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes)
- Known Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement of myeloma including meningeal involvement
- History of neurodegenerative condition, Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), or CNS movement disorder
