Elotuzumab, Daratumumab, Iberdomide, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab, and dexamethasone (IberDEd) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). (Phase 1 [Dose Confirmation Cohort]) II. To determine the proportion of patients with very good partial response (VGPR) or better with iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone (IberDEd) when used as therapy in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. (Phase 2)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR or stringent complete response [sCR]) rate with the combination of iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone. (Phase 2) II. To assess the progression free survival and overall survival among patients with relapsed multiple myeloma following treatment with the combination of iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone. (Phase 2) III. To assess the time to response (defined as the time between the date of first dose and the first documented evidence of a partial response or better) following treatment with the combination of iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM. (Phase 2) IV. To describe the toxicities associated with the combination of iberdomide, daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed MM. (Phase 2)

CORRELATIVE RESEARCH:

I. Examine the proportion of next generation flow cytometry assessed minimal residual disease (MRD) negative complete response following therapy with iberdomide in combination with daratumumab, elotuzumab and dexamethasone. (Phase 2)

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of iberdomide followed by a dose-expansion study.

Patients receive iberdomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of each cycle, daratumumab subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 8, 15, 22 of cycles 1 and 2, days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-6, and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive elotuzumab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1 and 2, and on day 1 of subsequent cycles and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-12 or at the discretion of the treating physician. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 36 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy during screening, on study and optionally at disease progression and computed tomography (CT), bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT during screening, on study or at the discretion of the treating physician and end of treatment (EOT). Patients may undergo chest x-ray during screening.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 7 days then 30 days and every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.

Inclusion criteria

• Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
• Diagnosis of relapsed multiple myeloma with ≤ 3 prior lines of therapy including treatment with proteasome inhibitors (i.e., ixazomib, carfilzomib, bortezomib), immunomodulatory imide drugs (i.e., lenalidomide, pomalidomide), and anti-CD38 drugs (i.e., daratumumab, isatuximab). Patients are required to have received a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory imide drug, or combination of the two drug classes during first-line treatment.

• Measurable disease.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2.
• Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (obtained ≤14 days prior to registration).
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/m^3 (obtained ≤14 days prior to registration).

Note: A person of childbearing potential (PCBP) is a person who: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months) and must:

• Have 2 negative pregnancy tests prior to starting study treatment and must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study treatment. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence from heterosexual contact.

AND

• Either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis and source documented) or agree to use, and be able to comply with two forms of contraception: one highly effective, and one additional effective (barrier) measure of contraception without interruption 28 days prior to starting investigational product, during the study treatment, and for at least 28 days after the last dose of iberdomide, 90 days after the last dose of daratumumab, 7 months after last dose of elotuzumab whichever is longer.
• NOTE: Non-childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):

• ≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 24 months.
• Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation.
• Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure.

• Willingness to follow Pregnancy Prevention Program requirements:
• Persons of childbearing potential must agree to use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year), preferably with low user dependency, during the intervention period and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study intervention. These patients must also agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period.
• Persons able to father a child must agree that during the treatment intervention period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment (to allow for clearance of any altered sperm), the participant will:

• Refrain from donating sperm while on study treatment, during dose interruptions and for at least 6 months following last dose of study treatment, PLUS either:
• Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent, OR,
• Must agree to use contraception/barrier such as a male condom (even if they have undergone successful vasectomy), and when having sexual intercourse with a person of childbearing potential who is not currently pregnant his partner will use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year.

• Note: Participants with resolved hepatitis B infection (i.e., subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded.
• EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.
