Overview
Brief Summary
This study seeks to determine whether addition of an allogeneic myeloma vaccine can augment clinical responses to lenalidomide in patients with near complete remission (nCR), or complete remission (CR) leading to a significant improvement in progression-free survival.This main objective of this study is to compare the 2-year progression free survival of patients with multiple myeloma in CR or nCR, treated with lenalidomide plus an allogeneic myeloma vaccine in combination with lenalidomide (with or without Prevnar vaccine) or versus placebo in combination with lenalidomide (control arm).
Detailed Description
This is a single institution, three- arm, randomized controlled, Phase II study examining the clinical efficacy of an allogeneic GM-CSF secreting myeloma vaccine in combination with lenalidomide (with or without Prevnar) compared to lenalidomide and placebo (control arm). Patients enrolled in the study must have two disease measurements (including the last one) consistent with a near complete remission (M-spike negative with persistence of immunofixation), or complete remission (M-spike negative, negative immunofixation, and \<5% clonal plasma cells on bone marrow) per criteria for response in a 3 month period. All patients must be minimal residual disease (MRD) positive by NGS sequencing at enrollment. Prior to enrollment, patients will have been treated with a lenalidomide containing regimen for a minimum of 6 cycles. All patients will continue on a standard dose of lenalidomide as a single agent until progression, or treatment limiting toxicity, following enrollment. Patients will be randomized to receive either an allogeneic myeloma vaccine and Prevnar vaccine in combination with lenalidomide, or allogeneic myeloma vaccine without Prevnar vaccine in combination with lenalidomide, or lenalidomide in combination with placebo. Patients will receive allogeneic myeloma vaccine or placebo injections on day 14 (+/-3 days) of cycles 1, 2, 3 and 6 from enrollment, and then annually thereafter for up to 3 years. If assigned to allogeneic myeloma vaccine plus Prevnar vaccine arm, Prevnar-13 will be administered with each allogeneic myeloma vaccine. If assigned to either of the two arms that do not include Prevnar, then patients will receive a placebo in lieu of Prevnar on the same schedule. All patients will be followed for a minimum of 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Myeloma eligibility criteria are the following:
- •Near complete remission (nCR) for ≥ 3 months defined as no measurable M-spike, and a positive serum immunofixation
- •For patients with a light chain only myeloma, they will be in deemed to be in a CR if they meet criteria for CR by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) consensus criteria
- •For patients with a light chain only myeloma that meet criteria for Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) by IMWG consensus criteria 2016 and are IFE -ve (negative serum immunofixation), they will be considered to be in a near complete remission (nCR).
- •Or complete remission (CR) (no measurable M-spike, immunofixation negative and bone marrow plasma cells \<5%)
- •NDMM or RMM in nCR or CR having completed a minimum of 6 cycles of a lenalidomide based regimen for a minimum of ≥ 3 months
- •NDMM or RMM a patients who have been off corticosteroids for ≥ 4 weeks
- •Patients with NDMM or RMM who have had autologous stem cell transplant are eligible, but must be ≥ 12 months from transplant
- •All patients must be MRD positive at 10-4 or greater by NGS sequencing at enrollment
- •All patients must be currently taking Revlimid at screening.
Exclusion Criteria
