Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if narlumosbart is non-inferior to denosumab in the treatment of bone diseases from multiple myeloma (MM).

Description:

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell dyscrasia with a high likelihood of causing bone disease (ie, multiple myeloma-related bone disease); as a result, up to 80% of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma present with osteolytic lesions. Denosumab is recommended for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, and for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma with evidence of multiple myeloma-related bone disease. Narlumosbart is a recombinant, fully human, anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) IgG4 monoclonal antibody. Changing the IgG2 Fc portion of denosumab to IgG4, results in increased stability, higher specificity and affinity for RANKL than denosumab. The objective of this phase III trial is to compare the efficacy and safety between Narlumosbart and denosumab in patients with bone diseases from newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percent change from baseline in urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen corrected for urinary creatinine (uNTx/uCr) at week 13	Compare narlumosbart and denosumab for percentage change in bone turnover marker (BTM) - urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (uNTx) corrected for urinary creatinine (uCr) (uNTx/uCr from baseline to week 13)	From baseline to week 13
Secondary	The proportion of subjects with a change in uNTx/uCr greater than 65% from baseline to week 13	Compare narlumosbart and denosumab for the proportion of subjects with a change in uNTx/uCr greater than 65% from baseline to week 13 (uNTx/uCr from baseline to week 13 >65%)	From baseline to week 13
Secondary	Time to first on-study skeletal related event	A skeletal-related event (SRE) is defined as one of the following: pathologic fracture, radiation therapy to bone, surgery to bone, or spinal cord compression.
