About
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of iberdomide in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow and are part of the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that allows the cancer cells to survive and grow. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin has been designed to attach to the BCMA protein, which may cause the myeloma cell to become damaged and die. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Iberdomide plus belantamab mafodotin may help slow or stop the growth of cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iberdomide (CC-220) in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). (PHASE I) II. To determine whether the combination of belantamab mafodotin/ iberdomide/dexamethasone improves progression-free survival (PFS) relative to belantamab mafodotin/dexamethasone in patients with RRMM. (PHASE II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To summarize the incidence and cause for treatment delays, modifications and omissions. (PHASE I) II. To assess treatment response. (PHASE I) III. To obtain an estimate of the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) distribution. (PHASE I) IV. To determine minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity. (PHASE I) V. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. (PHASE I) VI. To determine whether the combination of belantamab mafodotin/ iberdomide/dexamethasone improves overall survival (OS) compared to belantamab mafadotin/dexamethasone in patients with RRMM. (PHASE II) VII. To evaluate the safety profile. (PHASE II) VIII. To estimate the ORR (per International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria), duration of response (DoR), and time to relapse (TTR). (PHASE II) XI. To determine MRD status. (PHASE II)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine changes in T, NK, and B-cell subsets and quantitative immunoglobulin levels after 1, 3, 6 and 12 cycles of treatment.
II. To investigate whether BCMA protein expression on MM cells at diagnosis as well as at relapse or end of study (including loss of expression) is associated with outcome (OS and PFS).
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of iberdomide followed by a phase II study.
PHASE I: Patients receive iberdomide orally on days 1-21 and 29-49, belantamab mafodotin intravenously (IV) on day 1, and dexamethasone orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 56 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening as clinically indicated and computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) scans during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients also undergo a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and blood sample collection throughout trial.
PHASE II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive belantamab mafodotin IV on day 1 and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 56 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who progress may cross over to Arm II. Patients undergo ECHO during screening as clinically indicated and CT, MRI and/or PET scans during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients also undergo a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and blood sample collection throughout trial.
ARM II: Patients receive iberdomide orally on days 1-21 and 29-49, belantamab mafodotin IV on day 1, and dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 56 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO during screening as clinically indicated and CT, MRI and/or PET scans during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration and blood sample collection throughout trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 3 years from study entry.

Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effect on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown. FCBP (female of childbearing potential) is a female who: 1) has achieved menarche (first menstrual cycle) at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time during the preceding 24 consecutive months). Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP):
- Must use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year), preferably with low user dependency during the intervention period and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
- The effects of iberdomide on the developing human fetus are unknown. Immunodulatory derivative (IMiD) agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic. Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to, and again within 24 hours of starting iberdomide, and 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 she starts taking iberdomide. 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 agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy. All patients must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risk of fetal exposure.
- Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner are participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. FCBP must use adequate contraception for at least 4 months after discontinuation from study. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, women are advised not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose.
- The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with a nearly undetected pregnancy. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):
- ≥ 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 1 year
- Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
- Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure.
- Male patients must agree to use an adequate method of contraception for the duration of the study and for 6 months afterwards.
- Male participants: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies: Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment to allow for clearance of any altered sperm:
- Refrain from donating sperm PLUS, either:
- Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent. OR
- Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below:
- Agree to use a male condom, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy, and female partner to use an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year as when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (including pregnant females).
