Erismodegib and Lenalidomide After Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Overview

This phase II trial studies how well erismodegib and lenalidomide after stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Erismodegib and lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may delay the recurrence of myeloma after a stem cell transplant.

  • Sexually active males must be willing to use a condom (even if they have undergone a prior vasectomy) while having intercourse, while taking lenalidomide and for 4 weeks after stopping treatment
  • Patient enrolling to this study must agree to register to the mandatory REVLIMID REMS™) program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of (REVLIMID REMS™)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior allogeneic bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cell transplant

  • Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant heart disease, including any one of the following:
    • Angina pectoris within 3 months
    • Acute myocardial infarction within 3 months
    • Fridericia QT (QTcF) > 450 msec for males and > 470 msec for females on the screening electrocardiogram (ECG)
    • A past medical history of clinically significant ECG abnormalities or a family history of prolonged QT-interval syndrome
    • Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, history of labile hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen)
  • Seroreactivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV I) or II, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Other active malignancy requiring therapy; EXCEPTIONS: non-melanotic skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix
  • Any of the following:
    • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) laboratory test (> 5 mIU/mL)
    • Patients who are not willing to apply highly effective contraception during the study and through the duration as defined below after the final dose of study treatment
    • Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, must use highly effective contraception during the study and through 6 months after the final dose of study treatment; highly effective contraception is defined as either:
      • Total abstinence: when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
      • Sterilization: patient has had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment; in case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment

      • Note: hormonal contraception methods (e.g. oral, injected, implanted) are not allowed
      • Note: woman are considered post-menopausal and not child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or six months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels > 40 mIU/mL and estradiol < 20 pg/mL or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) at least six weeks ago; in the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential
    • Male patient must use highly effective (double barrier) methods of contraception (e.g., spermicidal gel plus condom) for the entire duration of the study, and continuing using contraception and refrain from fathering a child for 6 months following the study drug; a condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men as well as during intercourse with a male partner in order to prevent delivery of the study treatment via seminal fluid
    • Sexually active males who are unwilling to use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 6 months after stopping investigational medications and agree not to father a child in this period
  • Other co-morbidity, which would interfere with patient's ability to participate in the trial, e.g. uncontrolled infection, uncompensated lung disease
  • Concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy for treatment of multiple myeloma; NOTE: bisphosphonates are considered to be supportive care rather than therapy, and are thus allowed while on protocol treatment

  • Patients who have taken part in an experimental drug study =< 4 weeks prior to registration
  • Patients who are receiving treatment with medications known to be moderate and strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4)/cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 5 (5) or drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily B, polypeptide 6 (CYP2B6) or cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily C, polypeptide 9 (CYP2C9) that have narrow therapeutic index, and that cannot be discontinued before starting treatment with LDE225
