Teclistamab or Talquetamab in Combination with Daratumumab for the Treatment of High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, The REVIVE Trial
This phase II trial compares the effect of teclistamab and talquetamab each when given in combination with daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (HR-SMM). HR-SMM is a condition that produces excessive numbers of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) in the bone marrow that are associated with abnormally high levels of proteins secreted from the plasma cells. This condition greatly increases the risk for developing a blood cancer called multiple myeloma (MM). The overall goal of this study is to see whether treatment with teclistamab and daratumumab will delay the onset of MM. Teclistamab and talquetamab are in a class of medications called bispecific monoclonal antibodies. Teclistamab binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell). It also binds to a protein called BCMA, which is found on myeloma cells and some B cells (another type of white blood cell). This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Teclistamab binds to CD3 and to a protein called GPRC5D, which is found on myeloma cells and some other types of cells. This may help the immune system kill the cancer cells. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving teclistamab or talquetamab in combination with daratumumab may be effective in treating HR-SMM and/or delaying its progression to active or symptomatic MM.

Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who have received prior systemic therapies for SMM/MM. One prior cycle (4–5 weeks) of therapy for SMM is allowed provided that patient undergoes a 4-week washout period prior to first dose of study treatment. Treatment with corticosteroids for other indications is permitted

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts:
COHORT A: Patients receive teclistamab subcutaneously (SC) on days 2, 4, 8, and 15 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients receive daratumumab SC on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1 and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT), receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) and undergo positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial. In addition, patients undergo collection of blood samples and bone marrow biopsy and aspiration throughout the trial.
COHORT B: Treatment plan to be determined (TBD) after enrollment to Cohort A is finished.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 3 years.
