Carfilzomib, Iberdomide (CC-220) and Dexamethasone (KID) in Transplant Eligible Multiple Myeloma IBERDOMIDE COMBINATION THERAPY (KID)

What's the purpose of this trial?

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

This trial is currently open and accepting patients.


What will happen during the trial?

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.

You may be able to join this trial if you:

The following criteria is a partial list of reasons why patients may be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. Further evaluation with a medical professional is required.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
    • At least 25% of patients accrued should be high risk as defined by IMWG or mSMART criteria.
    • Patient should be deemed transplant eligible.
  • If a patient has had 1 cycle of prior multiple myeloma therapy, the patient must have had documented measurable disease prior to initiation of cycle 1
  • Patients may not have had more than 1 cycle of prior induction therapy.
  • Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
    • Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
    • Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted.
    • Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
  • Subjects must have a documented diagnosis of MM and have measurable disease defined as:
    • M-protein (serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis (sPEP or uPEP)): sPEP≥0.5 g/dL or uPEP ≥ 200 mg/24 hours and/or
    • 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
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1 or 2.
  • A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who:
    • has achieved menarche at some point,
    • has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, or
    • 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:
      • 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.
      • 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 Iberdomide
  • Male subjects must:
    • 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 iberdomide, during dose interruptions and for at least 90 days following the last dose of iberdomide even he has undergone a successful vasectomy.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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:

  • Subject has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study
  • 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

A Phase 1/2 Study of Carfilzomib, Iberdomide and Dexamethasone (KID) in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Transplant-Eligible Multiple Myeloma

December 09, 2023

At data cutoff (July 14, 2023), there were 13 patients enrolled, which included 11 and 2 patients enrolled in the phase 1 and 2 studies, respectively. Ten patients are on trial, 2 were screen failures, and 1 is in screening. Of the 10 patients on trial, the median age was 66 years (range 46-78), 40% male, 70% white, and 30% had ISS stage II MM. Four unique patients had high-risk cytogenetics, which included 2 patients with t(4;14), 2 with 1q21 duplication, 1 with t(14;16), 1 with del(17p)/monosomy 17, and 1 with TP53 mutation.

In the phase 1 study, 3 patients enrolled at the starting dose level of iberdomide 1 mg. Grade 1-2 TEAEs occurred in all 3 patients, but no DLTs occurred. The next 3 patients were enrolled at the iberdomide dose of 1.3 mg. Grade 1-2 TEAEs occurred in 2 patients (rash and pruritus), but no grade ≥3 TEAEs were observed. Three patients were enrolled into the final dose level of iberdomide 1.6 mg. Grade 1-2 TEAEs occurred in 2 patients, and 2 patients experienced grade 3 TEAEs (rash and neutropenia). As no DLTs occurred, the MTD of iberdomide was determined to be 1.6 mg given in combination with CFZ and DEX.

Patients on trial (n=10; 6 in follow-up and 4 actively receiving treatment) have completed a median of 3 (range 2-4) cycles of KID. Of these patients, 7/10 experienced TEAEs (Table 1). No treatment-related deaths occurred. The most common TEAEs were maculopapular rash (46%), elevated liver function tests (38%), gastrointestinal symptoms (31%), and neutropenia (23%). Grade 3 TEAEs occurred in 2 patients (rash and neutropenia). One patient experienced a SAE of erythema multiforme on two separate occurrences (grade 1 and grade 2), which resolved with drug interruption. In 9 patients with response data available, the best ORR was 100% (CR, 1 [12%]; very good partial response [VGPR], 4 [44%]; partial response [PR], 4 [44%]). Six patients proceeded to ASCT with a median amount of stem cells mobilized of 9.42 x 106 cells/kg (range 4.84-13.53). At 3-months post-ASCT, the ORR was 100% (CR, 3 [50%]; VGPR, 2 [33%]; PR, 1 [17%]). One patient had documented sCR and MRD-negativity at data cutoff. Median PFS was not reached (NR) (95% CI, NR-NR).
