About
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab in treating multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Iberdomide is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as cereblon E3 ligase modulators. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as teclistamab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving iberdomide in combination with teclistamab may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Estimate the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity profile of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab.
II. To observe and record antitumor activity.
CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the changes in the tumor immune microenvironment (exhausted T-cell phenotypes, percent T regulatory cells [T regs], T-cell activation) in peripheral blood and bone marrow caused by the addition of iberdomide to teclistamab and how they relate to minimal residual disease (MRD) status, responses rates and survival outcomes.
II. To evaluate soluble B-cell maturation antigen (sBCMA) levels at baseline and how they correlate to response rates and survival outcomes in patients treated with teclistamab plus iberdomide.
III. To identify the immunophenotypic and transcriptomic characterization of malignant plasma cells that are resistant to teclistamab and iberdomide.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab.
Patients receive teclistamab subcutaneously (SC) on days 1, 4, 7, 15 and 22 for cycle 1 and days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for subsequent cycles. Patients also receive iberdomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 for cycle 2 and beyond. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 4 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood and urine sample collection, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for up to 2 years.

Based on the mechanism of action, teclistamab may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Females of child-bearing potential (FCBP): should use effective contraception during treatment with teclistamab and for 5 months after the last dose. FCBP should not breast feed during treatment with teclistamab and for 5 months after the last dose. Should a FCBP become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. The effects of iberdomide on the developing human fetus are unknown. However, IMiDs are known to be teratogenic. FCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to starting iberdomide, and again within 24 hours. FCBP must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin two acceptable methods of birth control-one highly effective method and one additional effective method-at the same time, at least 28 days before starting iberdomide, while taking iberdomide, and for 28 days following discontinuation from the study. Examples of highly effective methods are intrauterine device, hormonal contraceptives, tubal ligation, or partner's vasectomy. Examples of barrier method are male condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must practice complete abstinence or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with FCBP while participating in the study, during dose interruptions, and for at least 28 days following discontinuation from the study, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy. All patients must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risk of fetal exposure
-
Men must agree to abstain from donating and semen or sperm while taking iberdomide, during dose interruptions, and for at least 28 days after the last dose of iberdomide. FCBP must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period
-
All patients must agree to abstain from donating blood products while taking iberdomide and for at least 28 days after the last dose of iberdomide
-
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study subjects
-
Willingness to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements and provide mandatory blood and bone marrow specimens for correlative research
-
Willingness to return to the enrolling institution for follow-up

- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because iberdomide is a thalidomide analog and thalidomide is a known human teratogen. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with iberdomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with iberdomide. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
- Patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo protocol required thromboembolism prophylaxis are excluded
