UPDATED PROGRESSION-FREE SURVIVAL (PFS) AND DEPTH OF RESPONSE IN IKEMA, A RANDOMIZED PHASE 3 TRIAL OF ISATUXIMAB, CARFILZOMIB AND DEXAMETHASONE (ISA-KD) VS KD IN RELAPSED MULTIPLE MYELOMA (MM)

Abstract

The anti-CD38 antibody Isa in combination with Kd is approved in various countries for patients (pts) with relapsed MM after ≥1 prior therapy, based on primary interim analysis (IA) of the Phase 3 IKEMA study (NCT03275285). Here we report updated efficacy and safety Results from IKEMA. This prespecified final analysis (Isa-Kd 179, Kd 123 pts) evaluated updated PFS (primary endpoint), PFS2, CR rate, MRD- rate, and MRD- and CR rate in ITT population, and safety with 2 additional years of follow-up. Isa 10mg/kg was given IV qw for 4 wks and then q2w; Kd 20/56mg/m² biw, 3/4 weeks. Hydrashift Isa IF assay was used to rule out potential Isa interference in CR determination. At cutoff (14Jan2022; median follow-up 44 mo), 49 (27.4%) Isa-Kd, 11 (8.9%) Kd pts were still on treatment. Updated PFS was consistent with primary IA Results, showing significant benefit of Isa-Kd (vs Kd): PFS HR 0.58; PFS2 HR 0.68. Final CR rate (Isa-Kd vs Kd) was 44.1% vs 28.5%, MRD- rate 33.5% vs 15.4%, MRD- and CR rate 26.3% vs 12.2% ( Table ). Serious TEAEs were reported in 70.1% Isa-Kd vs 59.8% Kd pts. The most common, any-grade non-hematologic TEAEs in Isa-Kd were infusion reactions (45.8%), diarrhea (39.5%), hypertension (37.9%) and upper respiratory tract infection (37.3%). These Results show unprecedented mPFS, CR rate, MRD- and MRD- CR rates in a non-lenalidomide containing regimen with benefit maintained through subsequent therapies and a manageable safety profile. Safety profiles and efficacy Results in both arms were consistent with prior IKEMA findings. Our findings support Isa-Kd as a standard of care treatment for pts with relapsed MM.
