About
Trial for patients with refractory multiple myeloma after failure of at least two treatment regimens and with BRAFV600E/K Mutation to evaluate the efficacy of the kinase inhibitors Encorafenib (LGX818 in) combination with Binimetinib (MEK162).
Full description
An open-label, single-arm, multi-centre phase II trial for patients with refractory multiple myeloma and with BRAFV600E/K Mutation to evaluate the efficacy of the kinase inhibitors Encorafenib (LGX818 in) combination with Binimetinib (MEK162). The patients must have received at least two prior therapy regimen (at least one immunomodulatory drug and one proteasome inhibitor).
The subjects receive LGX 818 450 mg. p.o. once daily and MEK 162 45 mg p.o. twice daily until disease progression or toxicity requiring discontinuation of treatment. 1 cycle is defined as 28 days.

Inclusion criteria
Patient has provided a signed study Informed Consent Form prior to any study-specific procedure and is able to comply with protocol requirements
Patients with multiple myeloma,relapsed or refractory after failure of two or more lines of systemic treatments. All patients must have received at least one immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) and a proteasome inhibitor.
Multiple myeloma requiring systemic therapy must have been confirmed in the medical history of the patients with criteria established by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) (Rajkumar V et al. Lancet International Myeloma Working Group updated criteria for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Lancet 2014; 15: 538-548)
Written confirmation of BRAFV600E mutation or BRAFV600K mutation in in the majority of myeloma cells, defined by positive IHC staining with mutations specific antibody of ≥ 50% in the respective biopsy, confirmed by DNA sequencing of the corresponding codon
Measurable disease, as defined as: Measurable levels of myeloma paraprotein in serum (≥ 0.5 g/dL) or urine (≥ 0.2 g/24 hours) or FLC of involved light chain > 100mg/l and abnormal FLC-ratio
Age ≥18
WHO performance status 0-3 (WHO 3 is allowed only when caused by MM and not by comorbid conditions) (see Appendix 3)
Negative pregnancy test within 72 hours of inclusion (women of childbearing potential): For all men and women of childbearing potential: patients must be willing and capable to use adequate contraception during the complete therapy (see also exclusion criteria).
All patients must agree to abstain from donating blood while on study
Adequate cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% as determined by an echocardiogram, QTc interval ≤ 450 ms
Ability of subject to take oral medications
Ability of subject to understand character and individual consequences of clinical trial
Exclusion criteria
Patient with prior treatment with MEK and/or RAF inhibitors
Systemic AL amyloidosis (except for patients with AL amyloidosis of the skin or the bone marrow)
Patients with meningeosis or central nervous system lesion(s) caused by multiple myeloma. However, patients treated with stereotactic radiotherapy or surgery are eligible if patient remained without evidence of CNS disease progression ≥ 4 weeks.
History or current evidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or predisposing factors to RVO (e.g. uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, history of hyperviscosity or hypercoagulability syndromes)
History of retinal degenerative disease
Plasma cell leukaemia which requires the presence of 20% of plasma cell in peripheral blood leukocytes and at least 2/nl.
Patient has received radiotherapy (including therapeutic radioisotopes) ≤ 21 days, if not restricted to a single osteolytic lesion, or has not recovered from side effects of such therapy.
Patient has had major surgery within 21 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects of the surgery. Kyphoplasty as prevention of skeletal related events is allowed.
Patient is concurrently using other approved antineoplastic or any investigational agents in the last 14 days prior to start of treatment. Note: patients may have received a cumulative dose of up to 160 mg of dexamethasone or equivalent as emergency therapy within 4 weeks prior to study entry.
Impaired cardiovascular function or clinical significant cardiovascular disease including any of the following: Symptomatic chronic heart failure, history or current evidence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia and/or conduction abnormality <6 months prior to Screening except atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia;
Significant hepatic dysfunction (serum bilirubin ≥ 2 mg/dl or ASAT and/or ALAT ≥ 2.5 times normal level), unless related to myeloma
Active hepatitis B, and/or active hepatitis C infection
Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of oral LGX818/MEK162 (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea,vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection).
Gilbert´s syndrome
Patients who have neuromuscular disorders that are associated with elevated CK (e.g., inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy)
Patients who are planning on embarking on a new strenuous exercise regimen after first dose of study treatment. Note: Muscular activities, such as strenuous exercise, that can result in significant increases in plasma CK levels should be avoided while on MEK162 treatment
Patients known to be HIV-positive
Patients with active, uncontrolled infections (patients successful treated with antimicrobial therapy may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator).
Patient is receiving chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immuno-suppressive agent at start of study treatment. Note: Topical applications (e.g., rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular) and the use of systemic steroids up to a prednisone equivalent of 10 mg daily are allowed.
Patient has consumed Seville oranges, grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pomelos and exotic citrus fruits (as well as their juices) during the last 7 days prior to start of treatment. Regular orange juice is permitted.
Second malignancy within the past 3 years except:
Patients with any of the following laboratory values at Screening/Baseline.
Clinically significant autoimmune haemolytic anaemia with positive Coombs test or immune thrombocytopenia
Patient is a woman of child-bearing potential, UNLESS they are using a double barrier method for birth control throughout the trial.
Sexually active males unless they agree to use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug. This practice should be continued for another 12 weeks after stopping treatment. Also they should not father a child during the study period or the 12 weeks post study time.
A condom is also required to be used by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid;
Medical, psychiatric, cognitive or other conditions that may compromise the patient's ability to understand the patient information, give informed consent, comply with the study protocol or complete the study.
Patients taking non-topical medication known to be a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4. However patients who either discontinue their treatment or switch to another medication at least three days prior to registration are eligible.
Participation in other clinical trials within 1 month prior to enrolment except patients for supportive care studies and vaccination studies. This does not include long-term follow-up periods without active drug treatment of previous studies during the last 6 months.
Patient has other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment contraindicate her participation in the clinical study (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, active chronic hepatitis ).
No subject will be allowed to be enrolled in this trial more than once.
