AbbVie said its bispecific antibody etentamig for multiple myeloma met the primary endpoint in a phase 3 clinical trial. Etentamig reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 60% compared with standard therapy, while its response rate was 74%, significantly higher than the 46% reported in the standard-therapy group. AbbVie said etentamig had a safety advantage over the competing drug, with cytokine release syndrome occurring in 28% of patients and ICANS reported in only 1 patient.
