Early Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Plasma Cell Myeloma

• Registration Number: NCT05511428
• Lead Sponsor: Thomas Jefferson University

Brief Summary

This clinical trial tests the treatment effect of home based daratumumab administration in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Darzalex Faspro is a combination of two drugs (daratumumab and hyaluronidase) used to treat adults with multiple myeloma. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by helping the body to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Hyaluronidase-fihj is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep daratumumab in the body longer so that the medication will have a greater effect. Standard medical care requires Darzalex-Faspro treatment be administered during visits to the cancer center. Receiving medication in the home setting, may decrease cost and burden of care in patients with multiple myeloma.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluate treatment burden (using the Cancer Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire \[CTSQ\]).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine adherence to home delivery of daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj (darzalex faspro).

II. Evaluate quality of life (using European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire \[EORTC QLQ-30\]) based on site of care (home versus \[vs.\] infusion center).

III. Evaluate financial burden (using the COST survey) based on site of care (home vs. infusion center).

IV. Evaluate Safety of home administration of darzalex-faspro. V. Evaluate barriers to home administration.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate patient perceptions of home administration of anti-neoplastic therapy.

II. Evaluate opportunity cost based on site of care (home vs. infusion center) (using the Oncology Opportunity Cost Assessment Tool \[OOCAT\] survey).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj subcutaneously (SC) over 3-5 minutes in the infusion center on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, 7, and 8 and at home on day 1 of cycles 3, 4, 5, and 6. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2 months.

Subjects with resolved infection (ie, subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels.

• Seropositive for hepatitis C (except in the setting of a sustained virologic response [SVR], defined as a viremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy)

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 50% of predicted normal. Note that FEV1 testing is required for participants suspected of having COPD and participants must be excluded if FEV1 is < 50% of predicted normal

• Moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, or uncontrolled asthma of any classification. Note that participants who currently have controlled intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma are allowed to participate

• Clinically significant cardiac disease, including:

  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months before randomization, or unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or affection cardiac function (e.g., unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III-IV)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Treatment satisfaction will be measured using the Cancer Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ)	At Visit 8, Day 197	Treatment satisfaction will be measured using the Cancer Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ). The mean difference in CTSQ scores between home and infusion center will be computed with the corresponding 95% confidence interval and tested (null hypothesis of zero mean difference) using appropriate model-based contrast with alpha 0.05.
Treatment satisfactionwill be measured using the Cancer Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ)	At Visit 4, Day 85	Treatment satisfaction will be measured using the Cancer Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ). The mean difference in CTSQ scores between home and infusion center will be computed with the corresponding 95% confidence interval and tested (null hypothesis of zero mean difference) using appropriate model-based contrast with alpha 0.05.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-30).	At Visit 1, Baseline	Measurement of quality of life will be measured using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-30). This would be rated on a 1- 4 scale with 4 being the worse outcome.
Quality of life Questionnaire	At Visit 8, Day 197	Measurement of quality of life will be measured using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-30).This would be rated on a 1- 4 scale with 4 being the worse outcome.
Medication adherence in home setting	At Visit 6,Day 141	Adherence is defined as completing administration of medication in the home setting. Adherence will be measured for each dose given and failure would occur if the participant needs to go to the infusion center for administration for whatever reason. Based on previous studies of home based administration adherence rates over 75% would be needed to meet criteria for feasibility. The adherence at the home setting cycles will be analyzed in repeated measures logistic regression model with a random effect of patient and the fixed effect of the delivery mode (home vs. infusion center). The model will be used to compute the average rate of home setting adherence with the corresponding 95% confidence interval.
Financial toxicity	At Visit 8, Day 197	Financial toxicity will be measured using the COST survey.
Incidence of adverse events	At Visit 9, Day 198	Safety will be evaluated through collection of adverse events, administration reactions related to Darzalex-Faspro
Barriers to home administration	At Visit 6, Day 141	Barriers to home administration will be measured through a questionnaire administered to the subject that asks about any delays in treatment related to delivery of medication, arrival time of the infusion nurse, issues related to storage of medication, issues related to administration of the medication. Questions have the same unit of measure Yes/No.
