Study of Daratumumab in Combination With Dexamethasone in Resistant or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-03-09
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study is a Multicentre, Open-label, Phase II study of Daratumumab and Dexamethasone in MM patients. Eligible patients must have a symptomatic RRMM with a measurable disease, resistant or refractory to Bortezomib and Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide.

There is no dose escalation phase, as the MAxiamal Tolerated Dose (MTD) and drug scheduling have already been determined in previous phase 1-2 dose escalation studies. There is no randomization.

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

Details

• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille
• Collaborators: Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome; Janssen, LP
• Treatments: Antibodies, Monoclonal; BB 1101; Daratumumab; Dexamethasone; Dexamethasone 21-phosphate; Dexamethasone acetate

10. Wash out period of at least 2 weeks from previous antitumor therapy or any investigational treatment or 5 half-lives from previous antibodies.

11. Women who are partners of men and of childbearing potential must be practicing one of the following methods of birth control: subcutaneous hormonal implant, levonorgestrel releasing intra-uterine system, medroxyprogesterone acetate depot, tubal sterilization, ovulation inhibitory progesterone only pills, or sexual intercourse with a vasectomized male partner (vasectomy must be confirmed by 2 negative semen analyses). Or women will commit to absolute and continuous abstinence confirmed to her physician on a monthly basis. Childbearing potential*. Contraception will start during therapy including dose interruptions, for 4 months after discontinuation of Daratumumab.

• Criteria for women of childbearing potential :

This protocol defines a female of childbearing potential as a sexually mature woman who:

1. has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or

2. 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) 12. A woman of childbearing potential must have 2 negative serum or urine pregnancy tests at Screening, first within 28 days prior to dosing and the second within 48 hours prior to dosing, and remain on a highly effective method of birth control. The two methods of reliable contraception must include one highly effective method and one additional effective (barrier) method. FCBP must be referred to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods if needed. The following are examples of highly effective and additional effective methods of contraception:

• Highly effective methods:

• Intrauterine device (IUD)

• Hormonal (birth control pills, injections, implants)

• Tubal ligation

• Partner's vasectomy

• Additional effective methods:

• Male condom

• Diaphragm

• Cervical Cap 13. Serum (urine in the case where serum is not possible in a timely manner) pregnancy test to be performed for all women of childbearing potential regularly during the study,. In addition, a pregnancy test may be done at any time during the study at the discretion of the investigator if a subject misses a period or has unusual menstrual bleeding.

14. A woman of childbearing potential must remain on a highly effective method of birth control. Contraception must begin 4 weeks before initiating treatment with Daratumumab, during therapy, during dose interruptions and continuing for 4 months following discontinuation of Daratumumab. Reliable contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy.

15. A man who has not had a vasectomy and who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a barrier method of birth control eg, condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, and all men must also not donate sperm during the study, for 4 months following discontinuation of Daratumumab. The exception to this restriction is that if the subject's female partner is surgically sterile, a second method of birth control is not required.

16. Subjects affiliated with an appropriate social security system.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Target disease exceptions:

• Solitary bone/solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma

• Patients with non-secretory MM and non-measurable MM

• Subject with known/underlying medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion would make the administration of the study drug hazardous (ie: uncontrolled diabetes or uncontrolled coronary artery disease)

• Any uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular or pulmonary disease determined by the investigator including:

NYHA functional classification III or IV congestive heart failure LVEF ( Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) ≥45% Uncontrolled angina, hypertension or arrhythmia Myocardial infarction in the past 6 months

Or, subject is a man who plans to father a child while enrolled in this study or within 4 months after the last dose of any component of the treatment regimen.

• Known positive for HIV or active hepatitis B or C.

• Subjects with psychiatric illnesses or social situations that would preclude them understanding the informed consent, study compliance or the ability to tolerate study procedures and/or study therapy

• Subjects with known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 50% of predicted normal. Note that FEV1 testing is required for patients suspected of having COPD and subjects must be excluded if FEV1 <50% of predicted normal.

• Subjects with a history of moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years (see appendix), or with uncontrolled asthma of any classification at the time of screening (Note that subjects who currently have controlled intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma are allowed in the study).
