Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and how ABBV-438 moves through the body, in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events, tolerability, how ABBV-438 moves through the body will be assessed. ABBV-438 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms broken into 2 parts. ABBV-438 will be given alone and multiple doses will be explored. This study will include a dose escalation phase (Part 1) to determine the best dose of ABBV-438, followed by a dose expansion phase (Part 2) to confirm the dose. Approximately 127 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 24 sites worldwide. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-438 alone first in multiple doses in the dose escalation phase (Part 1); then in 1 of 2 doses from Part 1 in the dose expansion phase (Part 2). The overall study duration will be approximately 69.5 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.Show more

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis that affects children. The term "idiopathic" means "of unknown origin". It is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that causes swelling, warmth, and pain of one or more small joints. Systemic JIA ia a rare and serious form of JIA. Systemic" means it may affect not only the joints but other parts of the body, including the liver, lungs and heart. sJIA is more severe and can be more challenging to diagnose and treat than other types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is a lifelong disease for many patients and can continue into adulthood. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating pediatric and adolescent participants aged 1 to \< 18 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and will include a tocilizumab treatment arm for reference. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of sJIA. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive upadacitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive upadacitinib. Approximately 90 participants with sJIA will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily or tocilizumab subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion as per local label for 52 weeks and followed for approximately 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits/calls during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.Show more

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and change in disease activity of surzetoclax in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Surzetoclax is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. In Substudy 1 there will be dose escalation and dose expansion phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (expansion) of surzetoclax in combination with daratumumab + dexamethasone, to determine the best dose of surzetoclax. In Substudy 2, there will be a dose escalation phase where participants will receive various doses of surzetoclax alone. In Substudy 3 there will be dose escalation and optimization phases where participants will receive various doses (escalation) or 1 of 2 doses (optimization) of of surzetoclax and etentamig to determine the best dose of surzetoclax and etentamig. Optimization will also include etentamig received alone. Approximately 325 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 55 sites worldwide. In Substudy 1 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with SC daratumumab injections + oral dexamethasone tablets or daratumumab injections + oral pomalidomide + oral dexamethasone tablets. In Substudy 2, Japanese participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets. In Substudy 3 escalation phase, participants will receive oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with IV etentamig and in the expansion phase, will receive 1 of 2 doses of both oral surzetoclax tablets in combination with of IV etentamig, or IV etentamig alone. The total study duration is approximately 4.5 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution. The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.Show more

This phase Ib/II trial evaluates the safety, optimal dose, and efficacy of the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib in treating patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or responded to previous treatment (refractory). Epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody, binds to two different types of receptors (proteins present on the cell surface) at the same time. The two receptors that epcoritamab binds to are called CD3 and CD20. CD3 is found on T cells, which are important cells of the immune system that help fight cancer and infections. CD20 is found on the surface of most types of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells. By binding to both CD3 and CD20, epcoritamab brings the two cells close together so the T cells can fight and kill the lymphoma B cells. Ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, binds to a protein on B cells, a type of white blood cell from which the lymphoma developed. By doing this it decreases the ability of the lymphoma B cells to survive and grow. Ibrutinib may also improve the health (or fitness) of T cells thus making epcoritamab safer and/or more effective.Show more
