Adding Linvoseltamab to Lenalidomide Maintenance Therapy for Eliminating Residual Disease and Improving Disease Control in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, The Alpe d'Huez Study
This phase II trial evaluates whether adding linvoseltamab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide helps eliminate remaining cancer cells (minimal residual disease) and control disease in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) who have completed initial therapy, are receiving lenalidomide maintenance therapy, and who may have myeloma cells remaining in their body. Linvoseltamab works by attracting specific types of cells called T-cells to myeloma cells (cancerous plasma cells, which are a type of blood cell). T-cells are part of the body’s immune systems, which help fight infections and can also find and kill cancer cells. However, cancer cells find ways to shut down the immune system’s defenses. Linvoseltamab may help T-cells find and attack myeloma cells. Lenalidomide is a medication that may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or cancer cells. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that cancers need to grow. Lenalidomide has been approved for the treatment of MM and various other conditions. Adding linvoseltamab to standard lenalidomide maintenance therapy may be more effective at killing remaining myeloma cells in the body and may help control disease in patients who have received initial therapy for newly diagnosed MM.

- Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. Female patients of childbearing potential and fertile male patients who are sexually active with a female of childbearing potential must use highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 6 months following the last dose of study treatment
- Willing and able to provide written informed consent in accordance with federal, local, and institutional guidelines. The patient must provide informed consent prior to the first screening procedure
- Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who have received prior systemic therapies for MM other than initial IMiD/PI/anti-CD38/HDM-ASCT-based combination therapy * Treatment with corticosteroids for MM or other indications is permitted * Prior radiation therapy and surgery is permitted
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents unless deemed not to interfere with the study by the principal investigator (PI)
- Patients who receive a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks of scheduled study treatment administration
- Contraindication to any concomitant medication, including those medications administered for infusion reaction, antiviral, antibacterial, anticoagulation, tumor lysis, or hydration prophylaxis given prior to therapy
- Patient has any of the following: * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive with 1 or more of the following: ** History of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining conditions CD4 count < 350 cells/mm^3 ** Detectable viral load during screening or within 6 months prior to screening ** Not receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy ** Had a change in antiretroviral therapy within 6 months of the start of screening ** Receiving antiretroviral therapy that may interfere with study treatment as assessed after discussion with the PI * Hepatitis B infection (ie, hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis B virus [HBV]-deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] positive). Patients with resolved infection (ie, patients who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. In the event the infection status is unclear, quantitative viral levels are necessary to determine the infection status. EXCEPTION: Patients with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR * Active hepatitis C (HCV) infection as measured by positive HCV-ribonucleic acid (RNA) testing. Participants with a history of HCV antibody positivity must undergo HCV-RNA testing. If a participant with history of chronic hepatitis C infection (defined as both HCV antibody and HCV-RNA positive) completed antiviral therapy and has undetectable HCV-RNA 12 weeks following the completion of therapy, the participant is eligible for the study
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the experimental agents used in study
- Female patient refuses to discontinue breastfeeding her infant during study treatment or within 6 months after receiving the last dose of study treatment
- Participant plans to father a child while enrolled in this study or within 6 months after the last dose of study treatment
- Presence of the following cardiac conditions: * New York Heart Association stage III or IV congestive heart failure * Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass graft ≤ 3 months prior to study enrollment * History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope, not believed to be vasovagal in nature or due to dehydration * Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia or clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities * Unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or affecting cardiac function (eg, unstable angina)
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to ongoing or active infection, venous thromboembolic disease, hemorrhage, pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonitis, active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease with the exception of vitiligo, type I diabetes, and prior autoimmune thyroiditis that is currently euthyroid based on clinical symptoms and laboratory testing, or psychiatric illness/social situations within 2 weeks that would limit compliance with study requirements
- History of neurodegenerative condition, central nervous system (CNS) movement disorder, or patients with a history of seizure within 12 months prior to study enrollment are excluded unless deemed clinically not significant risk by the PI
- Active malignancy other than MM requiring treatment in the past 6 months. Malignancies treated within the past 6 months that are considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence are allowed
- Have any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the well-being of the patient or the study or prevent the patient from meeting or performing study requirements
- Patients with impaired decision-making capacity will not be enrolled on this trial

II. Micro-environment studies for signals associated with response.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive linvoseltamab intravenously (IV) over 60-240 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-3, days 1 and 15 of cycles 4-6, and day 1 of cycles 7-24. Patients also receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of cycles 2-24. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, collection of blood and/or urine samples, and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 90 days and then for up to 2 years.
