Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed). Immunotherapy with daratumumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving daratumumab with dexamethasone and pomalidomide may work bettering in treating patient compared to dexamethasone and pomalidomide alone.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the overall response rate (partial response [PR], very good partial response [VGPR], complete response [CR], or stringent complete response [sCR]) of daratumumab retreatment in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd) in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess progression free survival and overall survival associated with retreatment with daratumumab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd) in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

II. To determine the toxicities associated with retreatment with daratumumab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pomalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and daratumumab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-2, days 1-15 of cycles 3-6, and day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycles 1-12. Cycles every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for every 3 months until subsequent treatment or progressive disease, then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refractory to pomalidomide

NOTE: Patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection

• Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent, whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects, on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown:

• Pregnant women

• Nursing women

• Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

• Other concurrent chemotherapy, or any ancillary therapy considered investigational. NOTE: Bisphosphonates are considered to be supportive care rather than therapy, and are thus allowed while on protocol treatment

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Proportion of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity	MRD will be assessed on bone marrow aspirate in all patients achieving complete response (CR) or stringent CR (sCR). The proportion of patients who achieve MRD negative status will be estimated by the number of patients who are MRD negative divided by the total number of evaluable patients who achieve CR or sCR. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true MRD negative rate will be calculated.	Up to 3 years
Other	Changes in clonal population and CD38 expression	Will be summarized descriptively by median, min, max, and interquartile range at each time point. Changes from baseline to after treatment will be assess using paired analyses, including Wilcoxon signed rank tests.	Baseline up to 3 years
Primary	Best overall response rate to the therapy	A success will be defined as a partial response or better noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.	Up to 3 years
Secondary	Overall survival time	The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.	From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Secondary	Progression-free survival	The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.	From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression on initial therapy or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Secondary	Incidence of adverse events	Will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.	Up to 3 years
