MRD-Adapted Elranatamab for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase II trial tests how well elranatamab 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). Elranatamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell), and to a protein called BCMA, which is found on myeloma cells and some types of immune cells called T cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. This study also evaluates the safety of pausing and restarting treatment based on response. Studies have shown that achieving and staying at minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity are associated with longer survival. Adapting treatment with elranatamab based on MRD may kill more cancer cells and improve survival in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after receiving 1-3 prior lines of treatment.

- Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy to baseline severity or Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≤ 1
- Serum pregnancy test (for females of childbearing potential) negative at screening * Female patients of non-childbearing potential must meet at least 1 of the following criteria: ** Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; status may be confirmed with a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level confirming the postmenopausal state ** Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy ** Have medically confirmed ovarian failure * All other female patients (including female patients with tubal ligations) are considered to be of childbearing potential
- Agreement to adhere to lifestyle considerations throughout study duration
Exclusion Criteria
- Subjects with smoldering multiple myeloma, immunoglobulin M (IgM) multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome, and primary and secondary plasma cell leukemia, defined as circulating plasma cells ≥ 5%
- Extramedullary relapse who does not meet criteria for measurable disease as above
- Active malignancy other than multiple myeloma requiring treatment in the past 3 years, with the exception of successfully treated non-metastatic squamous or basal skin carcinoma
- Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement by multiple myeloma
- Active, uncontrolled autoimmune disorders
- Active uncontrolled infection. Active infections must be resolved and/or controlled at least 14 days prior to enrollment
- Radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study entry (bone lesions requiring radiation may be treated with limited [ie, ≤ 25% of bone marrow in field] radiation therapy during this period)
- Last systemic treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half lives, whichever is shorter. Subjects can receive a maximum of 160mg of dexamethasone or equivalent during screening, but at least 7 days prior to start of therapy
- Last radiation treatment to multiple sites within 2 weeks and single site within 1 week
- History of autologous stem cell transplant within 100 days prior to study enrollment

- Clinically significant, uncontrolled cardiac disease
- Grade ≥ 2 peripheral sensory or motor neuropathy
- History of Guillan-Barre syndrome
- Other surgical (including major surgery within 14 days prior to enrollment) or psychiatric conditions including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator’s judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study
- Previous administration with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study (whichever is longer)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess clinical efficacy of elranatamab monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess clinical efficacy of elranatamab monotherapy as MRD-adapted, fixed duration of treatment.
II. To further characterize the clinical efficacy of elranatamab as monotherapy.
III. To characterize the safety and tolerability of elranatamab as monotherapy.
IV. To assess the feasibility of outpatient administration of the priming doses of elranatamab.
V. To assess the feasibility of providing a treatment-free period.
VI. To assess the feasibility of re-treatment should MRD resurgence occurs.
VII. To assess the impact of elranatamab monotherapy on patients’ quality of life (QOL).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To further characterize the clinical efficacy of elranatamab monotherapy.
II. To evaluate the effect of elranatamab on the immune system and the plasma cells.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive elranatamab subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1, on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 2-6. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a response for more than 2 months, receive elranatamab SC on days 1 and 15 of cycles 7-9 and on day 1 of remaining cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with MRD negativity of greater than or equal to 12 months enter treatment-free interval. Patients enter retreatment when no longer meeting sustained-MRD negative disease after achieving treatment-free interval. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28-35 days, then every 3 months for up to 3 years.
