Daratumumab in Treating Transplant-Eligible Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Phase 2

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Plasma Cell Myeloma
• Interventions: Procedure: Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation; Biological: Daratumumab; Drug: Lenalidomide

• Registration Number: NCT03477539
• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab works in treating transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the percentage of patients achieving minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity by multiparameter flow cytometry (MPF) after autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) (at day 100) using pre-SCT daratumumab consolidation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine percentage of patients achieving MRD negativity by MPF after 1 year of daratumumab+lenalidomide-based maintenance therapy.

II. To determine progression-free survival (PFS) for peri-SCT treatment with daratumumab.

III. To determine percentage of MRD negativity by MPF after pre-SCT consolidation with daratumumab.

IV. To determine safety profile of peri-SCT daratumumab with lenalidomide. V. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) of patients receiving peri-SCT daratumumab for MM.

VI. To determine the overall survival (OS) for patients receiving peri-SCT daratumumab for MM.

OUTLINE:

CONSOLIDATION I: Patients receive daratumumab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, and on days 1 and 15 of cycles 3-4. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONSOLIDATION II: Beginning 8 weeks after completion of daratumumab cycle 2 or 4, patients undergo autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

MAINTENANCE: Within 14 days after completion of day 100 visit post-SCT, patients receive daratumumab IV on day 1 and lenalidomide orally (PO) daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who are still maintaining response continue to receive daratumumab IV every 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) negative response after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)	At day 100 post ASCT	MRD negative response after ASCT is defined as achievement of MRD negative status in the bone marrow by flow cytometry (multiparameter flow cytometry \[MPF\]) at the day 100 post ASCT visit. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. 95 percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The rate of MRD negative response after pre-stem cell transplant (SCT) consolidation with daratumumab	Up to 3 years	This will be estimated by the number of patients who achieve MRD negative status by flow cytometry (MPF) in the bone marrow after pre-SCT consolidation with daratumumab divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true rate of MRD negative response after pre-SCT consolidation with daratumumab will be calculated.
Rate of MRD negative response after 1 year (12 courses) of daratumumab and lenalidomide maintenance	At 1 year (12 cycles) of daratumumab and lenalidomide maintenance	This will be estimated by the number of patients who achieve MRD negative status by flow cytometry (MPF) in the bone marrow after 1 year of maintenance therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true rate of MRD negative response after 1 year of maintenance will be calculated.
Progression-free survival	From registration up to 3 years	The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Survival time	From registration up to 3 years	The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Overall response rate	At day 100 post ASCT	This will be estimated by the number of patients with an objective status of stringent complete responses, complete response, very good partial response, or partial response at the day 100 post ASCT assessment divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Response assessment will be in comparison to values obtained at the disease assessment at the time registration. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true overall response rate at day 100 post ASCT will be calculated.
Incidence of adverse events	Up to 3 years	The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.
