A Study of Teclistamab and Mezigdomide for the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of mezigdomide in combination with teclistamab and how well the combination works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Teclistamab binds to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a protein found on some B-cells and myeloma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Mezigdomide is a type of treatment called a cereblon E3 ligase modulatory drug. It works by targeting and destroying proteins that help keep myeloma cells alive. By destroying these proteins, mezigdomide may cause myeloma cells to die. Giving teclistamab in combination with mezigdomide may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of mezigdomide in combination with teclistamab, followed by a dose-expansion study.
PRIMING AND STEP UP:
WEEK 1-2: Patients receive mezigdomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 14 days followed by 1 week of no treatment.
WEEK 4: Patients receive teclistamab subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 4 and 7.
TREATMENT: Starting 7 days after day 7 of step-up dosing, patients receive mezigdomide PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle and teclistamab SC on day 1 of cycles 1-12. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Additionally, patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) at screening and urine and blood sample collection, bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or whole body (WB)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks then every 3-6 months.
