Hypofractionation for the Improved Treatment of Osseous or Extra Osseous Lesions in Patients with Newly Diagnosed, Relapsed, or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of hypofractionation for the treatment of bone (osseous) lesions or lesions located outside of the bone (extra osseous) in patients with multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed, that has come back (relapsed), or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Hypofractionation is shortening the course of radiation by decreasing the number of radiation fractions or treatments with each daily treatment dose being slightly higher than normal. Longer duration of radiation treatment can delay systemic therapy. During the 1-3 week treatment course, patients do not receive systemic therapy, and lesions or at-risk sites that are not being treated with radiation may progress and exacerbate symptoms. Also, patients must present to clinic for every treatment and this can be a significant burden for patients and their families. Undergoing hypofractionation may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with osseous or extra osseous lesions with multiple myeloma.
Inclusion Criteria

- Participants who are women must not be breastfeeding
- Participants who are WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception for the duration of treatment with study drug(s) and up to 5 months post last dose of study drug(s)
- Participants who are WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are exempted from contraceptive requirements but still must undergo pregnancy testing as described in this section
- Participants who are males and who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception for the duration of treatment with study drug(s) and up to 7 months post last dose of study drug(s). In addition, male participants must be willing to refrain from sperm donation during this time
- Participants who are azoospermic males are exempt from contraceptive requirements
- Investigators shall counsel WOCBP, and male participants who are sexually active with WOCBP, on the importance of pregnancy prevention and the implications of an unexpected pregnancy. Investigators shall advise on the use of highly effective methods of contraception, which have a failure rate of < 1% when used consistently and correctly
Exclusion Criteria
- Participants must have documented Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) score ≤ 15 or Mirels’ score ≤ 10 prior to starting radiation treatment, or documentation that surgery is not an option for stabilization
- Participants who have not recovered (i.e. ≤ grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent will be excluded. Participants may receive concurrent systemic therapy or steroids if determined to be safe by the treating physicians, as a result of evaluation of radiosensitization effect of the agent. * Note: subjects with ≤ grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study. * Note: if subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy. * Note: subjects with any grade alopecia are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study
- Participants must not have had prior radiation therapy (defined as > 10% of prior prescription dose) to the area planning to be treated with radiation
- Chemotherapy use peri-radiation must be reviewed by multidisciplinary team to determine timing of radiation therapy depending on radio sensitization effect and half-life of drug, with documentation in medical record
- Participants who have had prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) or other small molecules must be reviewed by multidisciplinary team to determine timing of radiation therapy depending on radio sensitization effect and half-life of drug, with documentation in medical record
- Participants must not have a known additional malignancy that could confuse analysis of on-study treatment. Inclusion of all study participants with more than one malignancy must be discussed and approved by the primary investigator (PI)
- Participants must not have a known history of non-infectious pneumonitis that required steroids for treatment
- Participants must not have evidence of interstitial lung disease
- Participants must not have a current seizure disorder
- Participants must not have a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject’s participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment
- If known active Hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or Hepatitis C (e.g., hepatitis C virus [HCV] ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative] is detected) then patient is not eligible for treatment of liver lesions
- Participants must not have had uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease including, but not limited to, any of the following: * Myocardial infarction or stroke/transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months * Uncontrolled angina within the past 3 months * Any history of clinically significant arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or torsades de pointes) * History of other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional classification III to IV, pericarditis, significant pericardial effusion, or myocarditis) * Cardiovascular disease-related requirement for daily supplemental oxygen therapy
- Participants may not concomitantly use statins while on study. However, a patient using statins for over 3 months prior to study drug administration and in stable status without creatinine kinase (CK) rise may be permitted to enroll
- Participants may not have current or history of clinically significant muscle disorders (e.g. myositis), recent unresolved muscle injury, or any condition known to elevate serum CK levels
- Participants must not be prisoners or be involuntarily incarcerated
- Participants must not be compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious disease) illness

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose per fraction for newly diagnosed & relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with hypo fractionation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the rates of grade 3 or higher adverse events, by Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0 that occur within 1 month from the start of radiation.
