Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 2 study where newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma requiring systemic chemotherapy will be eligible for enrollment. A total of 46 subjects were enrolled. The primary end point was the rate of stringent complete response (sCR) and/or MRD-negativity (10-5) after C8 Elo-KRd. Secondary end points included safety, rate of response, MRD status, PFS, and overall survival (OS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective

• The primary efficacy endpoint will be the rate of sCR and/or the rate of negative MRD by next generation gene sequencing (NGS) by clonoSIGHT (Adaptive Biotechnologies) at the end of 8 cycles among non-transplant candidates and transplant candidates who agreed to defer transplant

Secondary Objectives

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of elotuzumab in combination with KRd, when administered to subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
* To determine the rate of MRD by next generation gene sequencing (NGS) by clonoSIGHT (Adaptive Biotechnologies) and by multi-color flow cytometry (MFC) at the end of Cycle 4, 8,and 12 for all subjects, and end of C18 (for subjects who are MRD+ at the end of C8 but MRD- at the end of C12 only), 24 months after C1D1, and yearly after that.
* To estimate time to event, including duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS).

Exploratory Objectives

* GEP, proteomics, and gene sequencing to evaluate the correlation between treatment outcome and pre-treatment subject profile.
* Immunologic correlative studies including FcγRIIIa V genotype.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

All participants will receive E-KRd regimen (elotuzumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) for up to 12 Cycles.

After Cycle 12, participants that are MRD negative will move to E-Rd (elotuzumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) maintenance regimen and continue until disease progression. Participants that are MRD positive will continue to receive E-KRd regimen for an additional 6 cycles followed by E-Rd maintenance regimen and continue until disease progression

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Elo-KRd regimen

Subjects will be tested for Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and flow cytometry after cycles 8 and 12. A treatment decision was made after cycle 12 based on these results. There are three outcomes based on the IFM trial (Avet-Loiseau et al., 2015): 1) if the subject is MRD-negative by NGS after cycle 8 and 12, the subject went on E-Rd maintenance until disease progression. 2) If the subject is MRD-positive after cycle 8 but MRD-negative after cycle 12, 6 more cycles of E-KRd was given and at the end of 18 cycles, the subject went on E-Rd maintenance until disease progression. 3) Finally, if the subject is MRD-positive at both instances, 12 additional cycles of E-KRd was given and at the end of 24 cycles total, the subject went on E-Rd maintenance until disease progression.
