Immuno-Oncology Drugs Elotuzumab, Anti-LAG-3 and Anti-TIGIT

Stopped early · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Multiple Myeloma, Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma

In brief

This a Phase I/II randomized trial for patients with relapsed refractory Multiple Myeloma who have relapsed after treatment with prior therapies. The protocol is designed to evaluate two agents, Anti-LAG-3 and Anti-TIGIT, in order to understand their immunologic effects and safety both as single agents and in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone. In these arms, patients will be treated with either Anti-LAG-3 or Anti-TIGIT respectively for one cycle as single agent followed by the addition of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in combination for subsequent cycles. A third arm allows patients to be treated with the FDA approved combination of elotuzumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethsone as a control. This arm will thus allow a concurrent standard of care comparator for the experimental arms.

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• 18 years of age or greater.

• Patient has received at least 3 prior lines of therapy and must have received prior therapy including at least one drug from each drug class; IMiD, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
• The following laboratory values obtained ≤ 14 days prior to initiation of therapy:
• ANC ≥ 1000/ul (without growth factor support within 14 days of initiation of therapy)
• Hgb ≥ 8 g/dl
• PLT ≥ 75,000/ul (without transfusion support within 14 days of initiation of therapy)
• Total bilirubin <1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or if total bilirubin is ≥1.5 x ULN, the direct bilirubin must be ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (patients with Gilberts syndrome may have total bilirubin ≤3.0 x ULN
• AST and ALT < 2.5x ULN
• Creatinine Clearance ≥ 30 mL/min by Cockcroft Gault Equation
• Measurable disease of MM as defined by at least ONE of the following:
• Serum monoclonal protein ≥1.0 g by protein electrophoresis
• ≥200 mg of monoclonal protein in the urine on 24-hour electrophoresis
• Serum immunoglobulin FLC ≥10 mg/dL AND abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa to lambda FLC ratio.
• Normal thyroid function, or stable on hormone supplementation per investigator assessment.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0, 1, or 2.
• Willingness to return to enrolling institution for follow-up.
• Disease free of prior malignancies for ≥ 3 year with exception of currently treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma "insitu" of the cervix or breast, or prostate cancer not requiring therapy
• Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated ICF and authorization to use protected health information.
• All study participants must be willing to be registered into, and comply with, the mandatory pomalidomide (POMALYST®) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS®) program and be willing to use contraception 28 days prior to pomalidomide treatment and continue until 120 days after the last dose of pomalidomide.
• Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation. For patient's intolerant to aspirin or for high-risk patients with prior history of thromboembolic events, thromboprophylaxis with other anti-coagulants agents, including low molecular weight heparin, warfarin, or novel oral anticoagulants such as apixaban or rivaroxaban, is allowed.
• All females of child bearing potential (FCBP)* must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) documented ≤7 days prior to start of therapy with repeat pregnancy test on Day 1 of each cycle and at the EoT visit. Note: Additional pregnancy testing is required as a condition of the POMALYST REMS® program prior to and while on treatment and following the last dose of pomalidomide. FCBP must have 2 negative pregnancy tests prior to initiating pomalidomide treatment. The first test should be performed within 10-14 days prior to prescribing POMALYST and the second test within 24 hours prior to prescribing POMALYST therapy and then weekly during the first 4 weeks, then every 4 weeks thereafter in females with regular menstrual cycles, or every 2 weeks in females with irregular menstrual cycles. Protocol section 8.1 provides guidelines on the use and required time frames of contraception. NOTE: *A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a sexually mature female who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
