This phase II trial studies how well elotuzumab and lenalidomide works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or is growing, spreading, or getting worse. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as elotuzumab, may help the body’s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving elotuzumab and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with recurrent or progressive multiple myeloma.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03411031.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Progression free survival with elotuzumab plus lenalidomide when elotuzumab is added to multiple myeloma patients with serologic relapse/progression while receiving lenalidomide maintenance for each cohort.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Overall response rate (ORR) with elotuzumab and lenalidomide for each cohort.
II. Minimum response (MR) or better rate with elotuzumab and lenalidomide for each cohort.
III. Time to next treatment (TTNT) for each cohort.
IV. Comparison of clinical outcomes (cohort A versus B).
V. Fc-gamma-RIIIa receptor polymorphisms (homozygous for high-affinity V [VV] allele versus [vs.] low affinity F [FF] allele).
VI. Effect of elotuzumab added to lenalidomide on phenotypic characteristics of the immune infiltrate and correlation with therapeutic efficacy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 cohorts.
COHORT A: Patients receive elotuzumab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 during cycles 1 and 2, and on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive a higher dose of lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT B: Patients receive elotuzumab as Cohort A. Patients also receive a lower dose of lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks and then periodically for up to 1 year.
