A Study of Belantamab Mafodotin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory AL Amyloidosis

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 2 study in subjects with previously treated patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis in need for therapy.

Approximately 35 subjects will receive therapy with belantamab mafodotin. Subject participation will include a Screening Phase, a Treatment Phase, a Post-Treatment Observation Phase, and a Long-term Follow-up Phase.

A safety run-in will be conducted in 6 subjects treated with belantamab mafodotin for at least 1 cycle.

According to the two-stage statistical design of the study, an interim analysis of efficacy will occur. If after 15 patients have been enrolled at least 3 complete or very good partial responses have been recorded, the accrual will continue until all planned patients have been enrolled

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

10. Written informed consent in accordance with local and institutional guidelines.

11. Female patients: contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies

A female patient is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

• Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR

• Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (failure rate of <1% per year), preferably with low user dependency (as described in Appendix 3), during the intervention period and for at least four 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.

A WOCBP must have a negative highly-sensitive serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study intervention.

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.

12. Male Patients : contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

Male Patients 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 WOCBP who is not currently pregnant.

13. All prior treatment-related toxicities (defined by National Cancer Institute- Common Toxicity Criteria for AEs (NCI-CTCAE), version 5, corneal toxicities are defined according to the Keratopathy Visual Activity [KVA] scale) must be ≤ Grade 1 at the time of enrolment except for alopecia.

14. Patients must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of non-AL amyloidosis.

2. Presence of lytic bone lesions or active myeloma with hypercalcemia, cast nephropathy, anemia due to marrow infiltration or extramedullary disease.

3. Previously untreated disease: patients must have had at least 2 cycles of therapy directed against the plasma cell clone; however, patients that have received high dose therapy with melphalan as their only therapy are eligible for the study.

4. Previous exposure to anti-BMCA agents

5. Cardiac stage IIIB disease: both cTnT > 0.035 ng/mL (or in place of cTnT the cTnI > 0.10 ng/mL or high sensitivity Troponin T > 54 ng/L) AND simultaneous NT-proBNP >8500 ng/L.

Note: Stable non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease (including Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) or hepatobiliary involvement due to AL amyloidosis is acceptable if otherwise meets entry criteria.

11. Presence of active renal condition (infection, requirement for dialysis or any other condition that could affect the patient's safety) unrelated to AL amyloidosis. Patients with isolated proteinuria resulting from AL are eligible, provided they fulfil other inclusion criteria

Note: Hepatitis RNA testing is optional and patients with negative hepatitis C antibody test are not required to also undergo hepatitis C RNA testing.

24. Invasive malignancies other than disease under study, unless the second malignancy has been medically stable for at least 2 years and, in the opinion of the principal investigators, will not affect the evaluation of the effects of clinical trial treatments on the currently targeted malignancy. Patients with curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer may be enrolled without a 2-year restriction.

25. Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder, or other conditions (including lab abnormalities) that could interfere with the patient's safety, obtaining informed consent or compliance to the study procedures.
