Elotuzumab and Belantamab Mafodotin for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety and side effects of elotuzumab in combination with belantamab mafodotin in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) after 3 lines of therapy. Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a toxic agent called mafodotin. Belantamab attaches to BCMA positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Giving elotuzumab in combination with belantamab mafodotin may control the disease in patients with multiple myeloma.

Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment to allow for clearance of any altered sperm: * Refrain from donating sperm 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 as detailed below: ** Agree to use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy, and female partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year as when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (including pregnant females)
- All prior treatment-related toxicities (defined by National Cancer Institute- Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI-CTCAE], version 5.0) must be =< grade 2 at the time of enrollment except for alopecia
- Participant must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
- Participant must not have current corneal epithelial disease except mild changes in corneal epithelium
- Participant must not have current unstable liver or biliary disease defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, esophageal or gastric varices, persistent jaundice, or cirrhosis. Note: Stable non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease (including Gilbert’s syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) or hepatobiliary involvement of malignancy is acceptable if otherwise meets entry criteria
- Participant must not have presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis or any other condition that could affect participant’s safety). Participants with isolated proteinuria resulting from MM and stable chronic kidney disease are eligible, provided they fulfill inclusion criteria
- Participant must not use contact lenses while participating in this study
- Participant must not be simultaneously enrolled in any other interventional clinical trial
- Participant must not have used an investigational drug or approved systemic anti-myeloma therapy (systemic steroids are allowed) within 14 days preceding the first dose of study drug
- Participant must not have had plasmapheresis within 7 days prior to first dose of study treatment
- Participant must not have received prior treatment with a monoclonal antibody within 30 days of receiving the first dose of study drugs
- Participant must not have had major surgery =< 4 weeks prior to initiating study treatment
- Participant must not have any evidence of active mucosal or internal bleeding

- Participant must not have invasive malignancies other than disease under study, unless the second malignancy has been medically stable for at least 2 years and, in the opinion of the principal investigators, will not affect the evaluation of the effects of clinical trial treatments on the currently targeted malignancy.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate safety and tolerability of elotuzumab in combination with belantamab mafodotin in subjects with multiple myeloma (MM) who have relapsed or refractory (RR) disease after three lines of therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Preliminary evaluation of clinical efficacy/ overall response rate (ORR), partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR) and stringent complete response (sCR) according to the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG).
II. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
III. To evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD) by multi-parameter flow cytometry and by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Biomarkers of response to be explored by correlating clinical responses with the soluble BCMA, and with the tumor expression of SLAMF7 and BCMA via immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.
II. Perform immune profiling of peripheral blood and bone marrow lymphoid cells by cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) before and during therapy.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive elotuzumab intravenously (IV) over 1.5-5 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1 and 2, and on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive belantamab mafodotin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle or every other cycle (if side effects cannot be managed). Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, ophthalmoscopy, and computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET) throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo bone survey throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 and 70 days and then at 4 months.
