A Study of Modakafusp Alfa Together With Daratumumab Adults With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05590377
Lead Sponsor
Takeda
Brief Summary

The main aim of this study is to determine safety and tolerability of modakafusp alfa given together with daratumumab to find out the best treatment dose. Another aim of this study is to learn more about the characteristics of modakafusp alfa.

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called modakafusp alfa (TAK-573). Modakafusp alfa is being tested to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy in combination with daratumumab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The study will consist of 2 phases: Phase 1 Dose Escalation and a Phase 2a Dose Finding.

The study will enroll approximately 58 patients. Approximately 18 participants will be enrolled in the Phase 1 Dose Escalation/De-escalation and two dose levels of modakafusp alfa in combination with daratumumab SC will be selected to be further explored in the randomized Phase 2a Dose Finding part of the study wherein, approximately 40 participants will be randomly assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups:

* Phase 2a Dose Finding: Modakafusp Alfa (DL1) + Daratumumab

* Phase 2a Dose Finding: Modakafusp Alfa (DL2) + Daratumumab This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 60 months. Participants who discontinue study drug treatment for reasons other than progressive disease will continue progression-free survival (PFS) follow-up every 4 weeks from the end of treatment (EOT) visit until the occurrence of progressive disease, death, the start of subsequent systemic antineoplastic therapy, study termination, whichever occurs first.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 1: Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)Cycle 1 (cycle length=28 days)

DLT will be defined as any of the TEAEs that occur during Cycle 1 and are considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to modakafusp alfa. Toxicity will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0.

Phase 1: Number of Participants Reporting one or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Per SeverityUp to 60 months

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. Severity grades for TEAEs will be evaluated as per the NCI CTCAE Version 5.0.

Phase 2a: Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 60 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a confirmed partial response (PR) or better during the study in the safety population. ORR will be assessed by the investigator per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
