Multicenter Open Label Phase 2 Study of Quadruplet-Based Regimen Iskpd (isatuximab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone with carfilzomib) in Early Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma - IFM2018-03

Abstract

Background. RRMM (relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma) is associated to shortened OS (survival) with subsequent relapses and needs optimized treatment approaches. The current treatment paradigm is based on triplet-based association of antiCD38 immunotherapy (antiCD38 IT) with either Imids (Pomalidomide) and dexamethasone or proteasome inhibitors (PI) such as Carfilzomib and dexamethasone. However, quadruplet-based regimens (antiCD38 immunotherapy +Imids +PI +dexamethasone) have transformed the treatment landscape in the upfront setting, improving MRD (minimal residual disease) and survival. We hypothesized that a quadruplet-based regimens (antiCD38 immunotherapy +Imids +PI +dexamethasone) would further improved MRD and survival in early RRMM. We describe a phase II multicentric, open-label study, of isatuximab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone plus carfilzomib (IsKPd/ IFM2018-03, NCT04287855) for patients with early RRMM. Study design and Methods. Approximately 90 patients will receive the association of isatuximab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone with carfilzomib (IsKPd), and the study has fully enrolled 82 patients as of January 2023. Eligible patients are adults aged ≥18 years old with RRMM previously treated with 1 or 2 lines of therapy, including lenalidomide, prior to the study entry. Patients were excluded if they were refractory to any anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody or to carfilzomib, or if they were previously exposed to pomalidomide. Isatuximab will be given by IV route at 10 mg/kg on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1, on days 1 and 15 from cycle 2 to 12 and on day 1 only from cycle 13, 28-day cycles. Carfilzomib will be given by IV route at 20/27 mg/m² on days 1-2, 8-9, 15-16 during cycle 1, at 56mg/m² on days 1, 8, 15 from cycle 2 to 13 and at 56mg/m² on days 1 and 15 after cycle 13. Pomalidomide will be administered by oral route at 3 mg daily on days 1 to 21 in cycle 1 and at 4 mg daily from cycle 12. Dexamethasone will be given by oral route at 40/20 mg daily on days 1, 8, 15 and 22. The primary objective is to evaluate the MRD rate at 10-5 in patients with RRMM treated with IsKPd. Patients will pursue Isa-KPd until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Key secondary objectives include the survival analysis (OS, PFS, EFS, TTNT), response rates and duration of response and evaluation of the safety profile. The study is expected to read out in January 2024 with sustained MRD reported.
