A Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Multi-cohort Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Anitocabtagene Autoleucel in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if anitocabtagene autoleucel following induction therapy works to treat adult participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The main objectives of this clinical trial are: * To determine the incidence and severity of all adverse events (AEs). * To determine the proportion of patients achieving undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) negative-CR rate (minimum 10 to -5) at 12 months (+/- 3 months) after enrollment. Participants will receive induction therapy with a quadruplet regimen including a proteasome inhibitor (Bortezomib \[V\]), immunomodulatory drug (Lenalidomide \[R\]), dexamethasone \[d\] and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (Daratumumab \[D\] or Isatuximab \[Isa\]) followed by anitocabtagene autoleucel. Participants in Cohorts A and B will receive lenalidomide maintenance therapy following infusion with anitocabtagene autoleucel.
• Newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma according to the IMWG criteria published in 2014.
∙ For cohort A, patients will ≤ 70 years of age.
‣ For the cohorts B and C, patients will be ≤ 80 years of age.
• Measurable disease at screening per IMWG, defined as any of the following:
∙ Serum M-protein level ≥ 1 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥ 200 mg/24 hours; or
‣ Light chain MM without measurable disease in the serum or urine: serum free light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL and abnormal serum free light chain ratio.
• Note: Local laboratory results may be used to establish measurable disease at screening if the results are ≥ 125% of requirements.
• Only participants who are candidates to receive either D-VRd or Isa-VRd induction regimens, as determined by the investigator, should be considered for this study.
• Male or female aged 18 years or older and has capacity to give informed consent.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
• Adequate hematological function defined as the following:
‣ Hemoglobin count ≥ 7.5 g/dL (without any red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusion within 7 days prior to the test result; use of recombinant human erythropoietin is permitted).
⁃ Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 500/μL (without non-PEGylated myeloid growth factor support within 7 days or PEGylated myeloid growth factor support within 14 days prior to the test result).
⁃ Platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL (unless secondary to bone marrow or spleen involvement of MM, in which platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL is permitted) without any platelet cell transfusion within 7 days prior to the test result. Bone marrow involvement by MM is demonstrated by bone marrow aspiration or biopsy. Spleen involvement by MM is demonstrated by splenomegaly.
⁃ Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 100/μL.
⁃ PTT/PT/INR \< 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN), unless on a stable dose of anticoagulant for a thromboembolic even (subjects with a history of thromboembolic stroke or history of Grade 2 or greater hemorrhage within 1 year are excluded.
• Adequate renal, hepatic, pulmonary, and cardiac function defined as the following:
‣ Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (as estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration \[CKD-EPI\] equation \[Section 12.14\]) ≥ 45 mL/min.
⁃ Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN.
⁃ Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, except in participants with Gilbert's syndrome or documented MM liver or pancreatic involvement where ≤ 3 x ULN is permitted.
⁃ Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 45% with no evidence of clinically significant pericardial effusion as determined by echocardiogram (ECHO). Multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan may be used if an ECHO is not available at the site.
⁃ No evidence of Grade 2 or higher (per National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] version \[v\]5.0) pleural effusion or ascites (participants with Grade 1 pleural effusion or ascites are eligible).
⁃ Baseline oxygen saturation \>92% on room air.
• Females of childbearing potential must have a medically supervised negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL (females who have undergone surgical sterilization or who have been postmenopausal for at least 2 years are not considered to be of childbearing potential; refer to Section 12.2).
• Willing to comply with and able to tolerate study procedures, including consent to participate in separate Long-term Safety Follow-up lasting up to 15 years per authorities´ guidance.
