Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-institution, open label, phase I/II study of Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (KID) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible MM.

Description:

This is a multi-institution, open label, phase I/II study of Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (KID) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible MM.

As part of a dose escalation phase, the first 10 patients will be enrolled at dose level -1 (Iberdomide 1.1 mg po daily days 1-21). Two months after the first 10 patients have completed at least 2 cycles of therapy in dose level -1, an Independent Safety Review Committee will review the safety data. Assuming the combination is determined to have adequate safety and tolerability, 10 patients will be enrolled at dose level 1 (Iberdomide 1.3 mg po daily days 1-21). After an independent safety review two months after 10 patients have completed at least 2 cycles of therapy in dose level 1, the remaining 46 patients will be enrolled at dose level 2 (Iberdomide 1.6 mg po daily days 1-21).

Treatment will continue for up to 4 cycles (28 days) at the physician's discretion followed by the Autologous Stem Cell Transplant. Patients will be followed every 3 months for up to 2 years, or until disease progression or the start of a new line of therapy.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Enrollment: 66
• Est. completion date: November 2025

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Documented newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

1. At least 25% of patients accrued should be high risk as defined by IMWG or mSMART criteria. 2. Patient should be deemed transplant eligible.

3. Patients may not have had more than 1 cycle of prior induction therapy. 4. Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:

1. Subject is = 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).

2. Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted.

3. Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 5. Subjects must have a documented diagnosis of MM and have measurable disease defined as:

a. M-protein (serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis (sPEP or uPEP)): sPEP=0.5 g/dL or uPEP = 200 mg/24 hours and/or b. Light chain MM without measurable disease in the serum or urine: serum immunoglobulin free light chain = 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1 or 2.

7. A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, 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 in the preceding 24 consecutive months) and must:

a. Have two negative pregnancy tests as verified by the Investigator prior to starting study treatment. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study treatment. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence from heterosexual contact.

8. Either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis and source documented) or agree to use, and be able to comply with two forms of contraception: one highly effective, and one additional effective (barrier) measure of contraception without interruption 28 days prior to starting investigational product, during the study treatment (including dose interruptions), and for at least 28 days after the last dose of CC-220 9. Male subjects must:

a. Male subjects must practice complete abstinence (True abstinence is acceptable when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a FCBP while taking CC-220, during dose interruptions and for at least 90 days following the last dose of CC-220 even he has undergone a successful vasectomy.

10. Males must agree to refrain from donating sperm while on study treatment, during dose interruptions and for at least 90 days following last dose of study treatment.

11. All subjects must agree to refrain from donating blood while on study treatment, during dose interruptions and for at least 28 days following the last dose of study treatment.

12. All male and female subjects must follow all requirements defined in the Pregnancy Prevention Program.

Note: A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study 2. Subject has any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study 3. Subject has any condition that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study 4. Subject has nonsecretory or oligosecretory multiple myeloma 5. Subjects with Plasma Cell leukemia or amyloidosis (with the exception of isolated marrow involvement).

6. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1,000/µL

2. Platelet count < 75,000/µL

3. Corrected serum calcium > 13.5 mg/dL (> 3.4 mmol/L)

4. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

5. Serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase = 1.5 x ULN

6. Subjects with serious renal impairment ([CrCl] < 50 mL/min) or requiring dialysis would be excluded 7. Subjects with peripheral neuropathy = Grade 2 8. Subjects with gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of CC-220 9.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)	Rate of patients with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) overall and per dose level	Measured after cycle 4 of induction KID (each cycle is 28 days)
Primary	CR and sCR	Evaluation of the rate of complete remission (CR) + stringent complete (sCR) remission for patients receiving 2-4 cycles of the combination of KID followed by ASCT in patients with newly diagnosed MM.	Measured after cycle 4 of induction KID (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Assessment of overall response rate (ORR) of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible MM patients.	Participants will be followed for response assessment every 28 days until progression of disease or a subsequent myeloma regimen has been started. On treatment study duration will last up to 12 months; Post treatment follow up will last up to two years.
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible MM patients.	Participants will be followed for response assessment every 28 days until progression of disease or a subsequent myeloma regimen has been started. On treatment study duration will last up to 12 months; Post treatment follow up will last up to two years.
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	Assessment of overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible MM patients.	Participants will be followed for response assessment every 28 days until progression of disease or a subsequent myeloma regimen has been started. On treatment study duration will last up to 12 months; Post treatment follow up will last up to two years.
