Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of talquetamab versus belantamab mafodotin in terms of overall response rate (ORR) or progression-free survival (PFS).

Detailed Description

Multiple myeloma is an incurable, malignant, plasma cell disorder that accounts for approximately 18 percent (%) of hematological malignancies, making it the second most common hematologic malignancy. Talquetamab (also known as JNJ-64407564) is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) bispecific antibody designed to target G Protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D+) cells and cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) receptor complex on T-cells. Belantamab mafodotin is a humanized B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb) conjugated to a cytotoxic agent maleimidocaproyl monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) which disrupts the microtubule network, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This study will investigate the possible improvement of ORR or PFS with talquetamab compared with belantamab mafodotin in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 4 prior therapies including an anti-CD38 mAb (alone or in combination), and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor (PI) and one immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). The study will consists of a screening phase, treatment phase (until confirmed progressive disease, start of subsequent antimyeloma therapy, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first), and post-treatment follow-up phase (until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or end of the study, whichever occurs first). Safety evaluations will include a review of adverse events, physical examinations, eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status, clinical laboratory tests, and vital signs.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 1 year 3 months

ORR is defined as percentage of participants with confirmed best overall response of partial response (PR) or better according to international myeloma working group (IMWG) criteria.

Progression-free Survival (PFS)Up to 1 year 3 months

PFS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization to either progressive disease or death, whichever comes first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better Response RateUp to 4 years

VGPR or better response rate is defined as percentage of participants with best overall response of VGPR or better according to IMWG criteria.

Complete Response (CR) or Better Response RateUp to 4 years

CR or better response is defined as percentage of participants with best overall response of CR or better according to IMWG criteria.

Overall Survival (OS)Up to 4 years

OS is defined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause.

Change from Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30)Baseline up to 4 years

The EORTC-QLQ-C30 Version 3 includes 30 items that make up 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (pain, fatigue, and nausea/vomiting), and 5 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, and diarrhea) and a single impact item (financial difficulties). The recall period is 7 days ("past week"), and responses are reported using a verbal and numeric rating scales. The item and scale scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high scale score represents a higher response level.

Change from Baseline in EuroQol 5-Dimension Questionnaire 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L)Baseline up to 4 years

EQ-5D-5L is a generic measure of health status. For purposes of this study, the EQ-5D-5L will be used to generate utility scores for use in cost-effectiveness analyses. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item questionnaire that assesses 5 domains including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression plus a visual analog scale rating "health today" with anchors ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).
