Frontline T-cell Engager vs Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) and Measurable Residual Disease (MRD)-Guided Sequential Intensification thERapy in Multiple Myeloma

Description

This is an open-label, multi-site, Phase II randomized trial with response-adaptive design for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) participants who have had prior induction therapy. The primary objective of this study is to compare the rates of achieving undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) in the bone marrow with elranatamab and daratumumab employed as post-induction consolidation and maintenance treatment (Arm A) versus autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) followed by lenalidomide and daratumumab treatment (Arm B).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

  • 6. Measurable disease meeting at least 1 of the following criteria (at the time of diagnosis):
  • 7. Have trackable clonogenic sequence using ClonoSEQ® (Seattle, WA) identified from a high disease burden sample obtained as SoC and enabling MRD testing during screening phase.
  • 8. Have clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase and also at start of administration of study treatment:
  • * Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • * Renal function: Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥40 mL/min based on calculation using Cockcroft-Gault formula or measured by a 24-hour urine collection.

  • 9. Achievement of at least PR to induction therapy, without prior progression of disease.
  • 10. Prior completion of standard of care mobilization and collection of stem cells (minimum 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg) without use of chemotherapy mobilization, any time prior to or during screening phase.
  • 11. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test at screening and again within 24 hours of the start of study treatment and must agree to further serum or urine pregnancy tests during the study.
  • 12. A woman must be:
  • 1. Not of childbearing potential, or
  • 2. Of childbearing potential and practicing true abstinence; or
  • 13. A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) or freeze for future use, for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for 4 months after receiving the last dose of study treatment.
  • 14. A man must wear a condom (with or without spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository) when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person during the study and for a minimum of 90 days after receiving the last dose of study treatment. If a female partner is of childbearing potential, she must also be practicing a highly effective method of contraception.
  • 15. A male participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for a minimum of 90 days after receiving the last dose of study treatment.
  • 16. Must be willing and able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in this protocol.
  • 17. Must sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF) (or their legally acceptable representative must sign) indicating that the participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study.
  • 18. All participants must agree to comply with and be enrolled in Revlimid Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program.
  • 19. All participants must agree to comply with and be enrolled in elranatamab Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program.
  • 20. All participants must meet institution-specific criteria for ASCT eligibility as assessed by the Investigator.
  • 1. Diagnosis of primary light chain amyloidosis, POEMS, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, plasma cell leukemia, or central nervous system (CNS) involvement by MM.
  • 2. Contraindications or life-threatening allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to any study drug or its excipients (refer to the elranatamab Investigator's Brochure \[IB\] and appropriate package inserts).

If a participant with history of chronic hepatitis C infection (defined as both HCV antibody and HCVRNA positive) completed antiviral therapy and has undetectable HCV-RNA for at least 12 weeks following the completion of therapy, the participant is eligible for the study.

Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease that is likely to interfere with study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the Investigator would constitute a hazard for participating in this study, such as:
  • 5. Uncontrolled diabetes.
  • 6. Acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease.
  • 7. History of autoimmune disease with the exception of vitiligo, type I diabetes, and prior autoimmune thyroiditis that is currently euthyroid based on clinical symptoms and laboratory testing.
  • 8. Disabling psychiatric conditions (e.g., alcohol or drug abuse), severe dementia, or altered mental status.
  • 9. Any other issue that would impair the ability of the participant to receive or tolerate the planned treatment at the investigational site, to understand informed consent or any condition for which, in the opinion of the Investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g., compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.
  • 10. History of non-compliance with recommended medical treatments.
