Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trial

Donor Immune Cells (TGFbi NK Cells) and Isatuximab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Summary

This phase I trial tests the side effects and best dose of TGFbi natural killer (NK) cells (TiNK) when given together with treatment-a-promising-new-option-for-relapsed-multiple-myeloma/" >isatuximab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to treatment (refractory). NK cells are a type of white blood cell that are known to spontaneously attack cancer cells. TiNK are NK cells made in a laboratory to have a higher response to tumor cells. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Patients also receive standard treatment (cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone) on this trial. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving TiNK and isatuximab with standard treatment may be a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Full Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of transforming growth factor beta imprinted natural killer cells (TiNK) and isatuximab in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) relapsed or refractory (R/R) to BCMA-targeting therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria of TiNK and isatuximab in patients with MM R/R to BCMA-targeting therapy.

II. To determine the time to response (TTR), time to next therapy (TTNT), the duration of response (DOR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) at 1 year.

III. To determine correlatives of outcomes. IV. To assess quality of life (QOL) with therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of TiNK followed by a dose-expansion study.

Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on day 1, dexamethasone orally (PO) on days 1-4, TiNK IV on day 8, and isatuximab IV on days 8 and 15 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy during screening and on study, as well as optionally during follow up. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening and blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, 60 days. Patients who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than progressive disease follow up every 12 weeks for up to 2 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients 18 years of age or older with evidence of relapsed or refractory disease as defined by IMWG criteria and measurable disease as defined by any of the following:

Serum M-protein ≥ 0.5 g/dl
Urine monoclonal protein ≥ 200 mg/24h
Involved free light chain (FLC) level ≥ 10mg/dl (≥ 100mg/l) and an abnormal serum free light chain ratio (< 0.26, or > 1.65)

Patients must have had at least 3 prior lines of therapy including lenalidomide, proteasome inhibitor (PI), anti-CD38 or anti-SLAMF7 directed antibody, and BCMA-targeting therapy.

Prior daratumumab or isatuximab is permitted but not in the immediate line prior to study entry
Prior autologous hematopoietic cell transplant is permitted
Prior allogeneic transplant is excluded

Refractory (progressed on or within 60 days of treatment) to their last treatment

If chimeric antigen receptor t cell (CAR-T) therapy was the immediately prior therapy, then the definition of refractory disease will not be limited to within 60 days
Patients must be off last treatment for at least 2 weeks by the beginning of treatment on this protocol
Hemoglobin ≥ 7g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/µL

Platelets ≥ 70,000/µL

If plasma cell percentage on bone marrow biopsy core is > 30%, platelet requirement will be adjusted to 50,000/µl
Total bilirubin < 2 mg/dL
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/ alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/ alkaline phosphatase < 2.5 X the upper limit of normal (ULN)
Calculated creatinine clearance of ≥ 30ml/min using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula
Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 30%; baseline echocardiography (ECHO) is not required if ECHO was done within the preceding one year and patients do not have new signs/symptoms suggestive of heart failure
No uncontrolled arrhythmias
No New York Heart Association class III-IV heart failure
12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with QT interval calculated by Fridericia Formula (QTcF) interval of ≤ 470 msec

Fertility requirements:

Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously.

Contraception must begin 4 weeks prior to dosing and continue to 6 months after study treatment ending. Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy.
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
A negative pregnancy test will be required for all WOCBP within 24 hours before starting treatment drugs
