Abstract: Background: Once multiple myeloma (MM) becomes refractory to αCD38 mAb, pts have limited effective treatment options and poor prognoses. With standard therapies, overall response rate (ORR) to the first regimen after refractoriness to an αCD38 mAb is 31%, median progression-free survival (PFS) - 3.4 months and median overall survival (OS) - 9.3 months (Gandhi et al, Leukemia, 2019). Exportin 1 (XPO1) mediates the nuclear export and functional inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins. XPO1 is required for MM cell growth, is associated with poor prognosis and mediates resistance to standard MM and other anticancer therapies. Selinexor (SEL) is a first-in-class, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound approved for patients (pts) with previously treated MM as well as DLBCL. The doublet SEL-dexamethasone (Xd) achieved ORR ~26% in triple-class (Immunomodulatory drug [IMiD] , proteosome inhibitor [PI], αCD38 mAb) refractory MM and improved OS over matched cohorts in community (Richardson et al, eJHaem, 2021) and academic (Cornell et al, AJH, 2020) settings. Hence, SEL-based triplets could be more effective in this triple class-treated population. We analyzed the efficacy and safety of SEL-containing triplets in pts in the STOMP study who were previously treated with regimens containing αCD38 mAb. Methods: STOMP is a multi-arm, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study evaluating SEL in various combinations (NCT02343042). Here, we analyzed ORR, clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of response (DOR), PFS, OS, and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of pts who received Xd plus pomalidomide (XPd, n=23) or carfilzomib (XKd, n=23) after prior therapy with αCD38 mAb. Results: Among 46 pts treated, median age was 64 yrs (XPd), 70 yrs (XKd), females 57% (XPd) and 39% (XKd), median time from diagnosis was 5 yrs, and median number of prior regimens 4 (range, 2-10). All pts were previously treated with a PI and IMiD and αCD38 mAb; 78% (XPd) and 52% (XKd) had triple refractory MM. Prior treatment with αCD38 mAb included daratumumab (XPd: 91%, XKd: 100%) and isatuximab (XPd: 9%); 52% (XPd) and 74% (XKd) had αCD38 mAb in their most recent prior regimen. Refractoriness to daratumumab was documented in 87% (XPd) and 96% (XKd); isatuximab in 9% (XPd). Median durations from end of most recent αCD38 mAb therapy to first dose of study treatment were 8 weeks (XPd), 4 weeks (XKd). Among evaluable pts, ORR and CBR were 52% and 76%, respectively in the XPd arm (n=21; 2 pts were not efficacy evaluable) and 65% and 74%, respectively in the XKd arm. In the XPd arm median PFS was 8.7 months (95% CI: 7.6, NE), median DOR was 7.9 months (95% CI: 3.9, NE), and median OS was 21.8 months (95% CI: 8, NE). In the XKd arm median PFS was 15 months (95% CI: 12.0, NE), median DOR was 13.1 months (95% CI: 10.2, NE), and median OS was 33.0 months (95% CI: 20.4, NE). Among the evaluable pts, response to SEL-containing triplets compared favorably to the prior αCD38 mAb-containing regimen used at least 1 line earlier: XPd arm (n=21), ORR 52% vs 58% for prior regimen, CBR 76% vs 58%, median PFS 8.7 months (95% CI: 7.6, NE) vs 10.2 months (95% CI: 5.2, 20.5); XKd arm (n=23), ORR 65% vs 52%, CBR 74% vs 57%, median PFS 15.0 months (95% CI: 12.0, NE) vs 8.5 months (95% CI: 5.9, 17.3). The most common hematological TEAEs (total; grade≥3) were thrombocytopenia (XPd: 35%; 30%; XKd: 78%; 39%), anemia (XPd: 57%; 39%; XKd: 57%; 22%), and neutropenia (XPd: 57%; 48%; XKd: 35%; 4%). Other common TEAEs (total; grade≥3) were nausea (XPd: 74%; 0; XKd: 74%; 4%), fatigue (XPd: 61%; 4%; XKd: 52%; 4%) and decreased appetite (XPd: 48%; 4%; XKd: 48%; 4%). No cases of severe bleeding with thrombocytopenia occurred. Three pts (13%, all XPd) had febrile neutropenia (the outcome of which was fatal in 1 pt, deemed related to SEL and pomalidomide). TEAEs were managed with standard supportive care and dose modifications. Summary/Conclusion: XPd and XKd administered to pts with heavily pretreated MM, including prior αCD38 mAb therapy, exhibit tolerability and comparable effectiveness to that of the prior αCD38 mAb-containing regimen. These results suggest that the use of SEL-containing triplets, implementing the novel XPO1 inhibition mechanism, can provide prolonged disease control with good tolerability rather than recycling previously utilized drugs/mechanisms. The all oral XPd regimen will be evaluated in Study EMN29 against elotuzumab-Pd in patients who have received lenalidomide, a PI and an αCD38 mAb.

Abstract: Background : Selinexor (SEL) is a novel, first-in-class oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) which blocks XPO1, forcing the nuclear retention and activation of tumor suppressor proteins, ultimately causing cell death in cancer cells. SEL 80 mg and dexamethasone (dex) 20 mg, both twice weekly (BIW), received accelerated approval from the FDA for patients (pts) with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). SEL continues to be evaluated in earlier lines of therapy with once weekly administration and in combination regimens. The SVd regimen with once weekly (QW) oral SEL (100 mg), dexamethasone (dex) and QW bortezomib (BOR) had significantly increased progression free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) with significantly reduced peripheral neuropathy as compared to standard BIW BOR/dex (Vd) in the phase III BOSTON study. The combination of lenalidomide (LEN) and dex (Rd) is an approved regimen in RRMM and newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) with an ORR of 70-76% in RRMM but a low complete response rate. SEL showed synergistic antitumor activity with LEN in a MM xenograft model. Therefore, we hypothesized that the all oral combination of weekly SEL with standard Rd (i.e., SRd) could improve the efficacy compared with Rd in pts with RRMM and NDMM with acceptable toxicity profile. Methods: STOMP is a phase 1b/2 multicenter, open-label, clinical trial with the goals of determining the maximum tolerated dose, the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), efficacy and safety of SRd in pts with RRMM or NDMM. For RRMM, SEL was dose escalated in two regimens QW (starting at SEL 80 mg) or BIW (starting at 60 mg), LEN 25 mg PO daily and DEX 20 mg BIW or 40 mg QW. Results: As of June 1, 2020, 24 pts (13 male, 11 female) with RRMM were enrolled. The median age was 67 years (range, 49-84) and the median number of prior lines of therapy was 1.5 (range, 1 - 8). In the 60 mg BIW dosing, 4 pts experienced dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) out of 5 pts dosed (2 thrombocytopenia, 1 anorexia, 1 & gt;25% missed dose due to unrelated QT interval prolongation). In the 80 mg QW dosing, 2 pts experienced DLTs out of 6 pts (both grade 4 thrombocytopenia). In the 60 mg QW dosing, no DLTs were observed. Based on these data, the RP2D of SRd was determined to be: SEL 60 mg QW, LEN 25 mg QD and DEX 40 mg QW. Common treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) (All Grades, ≥3) were thrombocytopenia (71%, 63%), neutropenia (63%, 63%), nausea (58%, 4%), fatigue (54%, 17%), decreased appetite (50%, 8%), and weight loss (42%, 8%). Amongst the 20 pts with RRMM where efficacy was evaluable, previously treated/documented refractory rates were: bortezomib (100%, 45%), LEN (40%, 25%), daratumumab (20%, 20%), and pomalidomide (20%, 20%). Amongst the LEN naïve pts (n=12), the ORR was 92% including 1 stringent complete response [sCR], 4 very good partial responses [VGPR] and 6 partial responses [PR, 2 unconfirmed]). PFS in LEN naïve pts has not been reached with a median follow-up period of 7.8 months. In the pts with prior LEN treatment (n=8), the ORR was 13%. Based on the high levels of activity of SRd in LEN naïve pts, 8 pts (4 males and 4 females) with NDMM were enrolled at the RP2D. The median age was 74 (range: 51-86) years. No DLTs were observed in 5 DLT evaluable pts. Common TRAEs (All Grades, ≥3) were thrombocytopenia (63%, 38%), neutropenia (75%, 75%), fatigue (63%, 50%), nausea (50%, 0%), weight loss (63%, 0%), and decreased appetite (13%, 13%). All 7 efficacy evaluable pts achieved a response, an ORR of 100%, including 1 CR, 4 VGPR, and 2 PR. With a median follow-up of 10.2 months, median PFS has not been reached. Out of these 7 pts, three pts withdrew consent to transit to successful autologous stem cell collection and transplantation. Conclusions: The all oral combination of SRd with once weekly SEL 60 mg, LEN 25 mg QD and DEX 40 mg QW was established as the RP2D for pts with RRMM or NDMM. The safety profile was similar in both settings. All TRAEs were manageable with adequate supportive care and/or dose modification. The all oral combination of SRd has demonstrated ORR of 92% in pts with LEN naïve RRMM and ORR of 100% in pts with NDMM, warranting further investigation of SRd with or without additional anti-MM agents for the treatment of pts with NDMM.

Abstract: There is a lack of consensus on therapy sequencing in previously treated multiple myeloma, particularly after anti‐B‐cell maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy. Earlier reports on selinexor (X) regimens demonstrated considerable efficacy in early treatment, and after anti‐BCMA‐targeted chimeric antigen receptor‐T cell therapy. Here, we present data from 11 heavily pretreated patients who predominantly received BCMA‐antibody‐drug conjugate therapy. We observe that X‐containing regimens are potent and achieve durable responses with numerically higher overall response and clinical benefit rates, as well as median progression free survival compared to patients’ prior anti‐BCMA therapies, despite being used later in the treatment course. In an area of evolving unmet need, these data reaffirm the efficacy of X‐based regimens following broader anti‐BCMA therapy.

Abstract: Background: Overexpression of the nuclear export protein exportin 1 (XPO1) mediates the functional inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs), facilitates the export of oncogene mRNA thus facilitating oncoprotein expression, is associated with poor prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM), and contributes to immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) resistance. Selinexor is an oral, first-in-class, selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound that by blocking XPO1 forces the nuclear retention and activation of TSPs and nuclear retention and inactivation of oncoproteins. 1 Selinexor is approved with low-dose dexamethasone ± bortezomib for patients with previously treated MM. Pomalidomide plus dexamethasone (Pd) has an overall response rate (ORR) of ~30% and median PFS (mPFS) of ~4 months in patients with MM refractory to bortezomib and lenalidomide. We hypothesized that selinexor could be safely combined with Pd (XPd) and would improve the combination's efficacy. Methods: In the XPd arm of the multi-arm Phase 1b/2 STOMP study, selinexor was evaluated at 60, 80, or 100 mg in combination with Pd. Study objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to assess the safety and activity of the XPd regimen. The dose of selinexor 60 mg once weekly (QW), pomalidomide 4 mg once daily (days 1-21), dexamethasone 40 mg QW (XPd-60) was the lowest evaluated dose of selinexor in combination with the approved dose of Pd, and in light of the marked efficacy of that dose (ORR 65%), Phase 2 cohorts at a lower (40 mg weekly) dose of selinexor (XPd-40), were evaluated. Of the 19 patients enrolled at XPd-40 and evaluable for efficacy, 12 patients were enrolled into STOMP and 7 patients were enrolled at the same dose level and similar inclusion criteria into a parallel study XPORT-MM-028. Results: As of 14 July 2021, 39 patients were enrolled into the 60 (N=20) and 40 (N=19) mg selinexor dose levels in combination with Pd: 19 males, median age 66.0 years (range 37-85 years), median number of prior lines of therapy 2 (range 1-9). 85% of patients had MM refractory to a proteasome inhibitor (PI; bortezomib or carfilzomib or ixazomib), 79% to an IMiD (thalidomide or lenalidomide or pomalidomide), 33% to an anti-CD38 mAb (daratumumab or isatuximab); 26% had triple class refractory disease. Common hematologic, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) consisted of (all grades, grade ≥3) neutropenia (72%, 59%; and two cases of grade 3 [G3] febrile neutropenia one in each of the dose levels), and anemia (51%, 15% all G3). Non-hematologic TEAEs were reversible and included fatigue (56%, 10% all G3) and nausea (49%, 0%). On XPd-60, the RP2D (N=20), ORR was 65% (1 stringent complete response [sCR] , 5 very good partial responses [VGPR], 7 PR); mPFS was 8.9 months (95% CI, 7.6 - NE, median follow-up 8.3 months). In patients treated at XPd-40 (N=19), ORR was 42% (3 VGPR, 5 PR); mPFS was not reached (95% CI, 5.7 - NE, median follow-up 2.8 months). Among patients who had received anti-CD38 mAb, the ORR was 64% overall and 100% at the RP2D (1 sCR, 2 VGPR, 3 PR). All patients who had MM refractory to pomalidomide (N=3; all at the 60 mg dose level) responded with 1 VGPR and 2 PR. For the 21 responders across both dose levels, median time to response was 1.0 months (95% CI 1.0 - 2.0) and median duration of response was not reached (95% CI: 8.0, NE). Conclusions: Selinexor, once weekly, can be safely combined with Pd in patients with relapsed MM. The all-oral combination of XPd is highly active with an ORR of 65% at XPd-60, the RP2D, and an ORR of 42% at XPd-40 dose level (compared to expected ORR ~30% for Pd). The high ORR that was achieved at the RP2D, including in patients previously treated with anti-CD38 mAb, supports XPd-60 as a promising therapy with no significant cross-resistance to anti-CD38, PIs or lenalidomide. No new safety signals were identified. The most common TEAE, neutropenia, is a common AE of Pd and was managed effectively with standard G-CSF. The regimen leverages the concept of mechanism switching from an anti-CD38 mAb-based regimen to a selinexor-based regimen. These data support the new Phase 3 study (XPORT-MM-031) with an all-oral combination of XPd vs elotuzumab-Pd in patients who have been previously treated with lenalidomide, a PI, and an anti-CD38 mAb.

Abstract: Background : Selinexor (SEL) is a novel, first-in-class oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) which blocks exportin 1 (XPO1), forcing the nuclear retention and activation of tumor suppressor proteins that cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. The combination of SEL with dexamethasone (dex), each administered twice weekly (BIW), received accelerated approval from the FDA in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Subsequent evaluations of combination regimens have utilized once weekly (QW) SEL. The addition of oral SEL 100 mg QW to bortezomib also QW with dex (SVd) showed superior PFS and ORR with reduced peripheral neuropathy compared with standard BIW bortezomib plus dex (Dimopoulos et al. JCO 2020). SEL sensitized the activity of carfilzomib (CAR) in PI-resistant MM cell lines in vitro and ex vivo in PI-refractory MM cells derived from bone marrow aspirates of patients (pts) with RRMM. SEL and CAR also showed synergistic anti-tumor activity in a NOD-SCID mice xenograft model in vivo. Furthermore, a phase I trial in RRMM pts demonstrated that the combination of SEL and CAR both administered BIW with DEX showed high overall response rates (ORR) in pts with MM refractory to CAR. Carfilzomib QW was recently approved and we hypothesized that the addition of SEL QW to CAR QW plus dex (SKd) would be synergistic and convenient with an acceptable adverse event (AE) profile. Methods: STOMP is a phase 1b/2 multicenter, open-label, clinical trial with the goals of determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the ORR according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. The starting SEL dose was 100 mg QW with 20/56 mg/m2 QW CAR (20 mg/m2 only on C1D1 and 56 mg/m2 thereafter, dosed Day 1, 8, and 15, 28 days cycle) with 40 mg QW DEX (Table 1). Eligible pts had MM progressing on study entry that was not refractory to CAR, were ≥ 18 years old, with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2, WBC ≥ 1,500/mm3,Hb ≥ 8.0 g/dL, and platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3. Results: The MTD was 20/56 mg/m2 CAR + 80 mg SEL + 40 mg DEX, all given QW. As of May 1, 2020, a total of 24 pts enrolled, of which 17 received the MTD. Median age was 70.5 (range, 50-76) years, 62.5% male, median number of prior therapies 3 (range, 1-8). Median years from initial diagnosis 5.0 (range, 2.7-11.3) years. Prior therapies in the 24 pts included bortezomib 24 pts (100%), lenalidomide 23 pts (95.8%), pomalidomide 15 pts (62.5%), daratumumab 14 pts (58.3%) and 19 (79.2%) stem cell transplantation. Common hematopoietic treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were thrombocytopenia (70.8% all grades, 54.2% grades 3/4) and anemia (54.2%, 20.8%). Common non-hematological TRAEs were nausea (66.7%, 0%), fatigue (54.2%, 8.3%), anorexia (45.8%, 4.2%), weight loss (37.5%, 0%), and dysgeusia (37.5%, 0%). All TRAEs were expected and manageable with appropriate supportive care (eg, TPO receptor agonists for thrombocytopenia) and/or dose modifications; long term cumulative toxicities have not been observed. ORR was 75.0% including 4 CR (16.7%), 7 VGPR (29.2%) and 7 PR (29.2%). There was 1 MR yielding a clinical benefit rate of 79.2%. Amongst the 14 pts previously treated with daratumumab, 8 pts (57.1%) achieved ≥PR, 9 pts (64.3%) achieved ≥MR. Median time to the first response (≥PR) was 28 days (range, 27-98 days). Median progression free survival has not been reached with a median follow-up of 4.4 months. Conclusions: Weekly SKd (20/56 mg/m2 CAR + 80 mg SEL QW + 40 mg DEX QW) is active with an ORR of 75.0% and deep responses (CR 16.7%, VGPR 29.2%) in pts who had a median of 3 prior lines of therapy including bortezomib and lenalidomide. The ORR of 57.1% in patients previously treated with daratumumab warrants further investigation of this once weekly regimen in 1st or 2nd relapse including among patients with prior daratumumab.

Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy that is often driven by MYC and that is sustained by IRF4, which are upregulated by super-enhancers. IKZF1 and IKZF3 bind to super-enhancers and can be degraded using immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs). Successful IMiD responses downregulate MYC and IRF4; however, this fails in IMiD-resistant cells. MYC and IRF4 downregulation can also be achieved in IMiD-resistant tumors using inhibitors of BET and EP300 transcriptional coactivator proteins; however, in vivo these drugs have a narrow therapeutic window. By combining IMiDs with EP300 inhibition, we demonstrate greater downregulation of MYC and IRF4, synergistic killing of myeloma in vitro and in vivo, and an increased therapeutic window. Interestingly, this potent combination failed where MYC and IRF4 expression was maintained by high levels of the AP-1 factor BATF. Our results identify an effective drug combination and a previously unrecognized mechanism of IMiD resistance.

Abstract: 8018 Background: Exportin 1 (XPO1) mediates the nuclear export and functional inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs), is associated with poor prognosis in MM, and contributes to proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) resistance. Selinexor (SEL) is a novel, oral, first-in-class selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound that blocks XPO1, forcing the nuclear retention and activation of TSPs. SEL is approved with low-dose dexamethasone (dex) ± bortezomib (BOR) for patients (pts) with previously treated MM. In the Phase 3 BOSTON study, once weekly (QW) SEL, QW BOR, and dex (XVd) significantly increased progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) with marked reduction of peripheral neuropathy as compared to standard twice weekly BOR/dex (Vd), despite XVd utilizing 40% less BOR and 25% less dex than Vd. Pomalidomide (POM) plus dex (Pd) has an ORR of 31% and median PFS (mPFS) of 4 months in MM pts refractory to BOR and lenalidomide (LEN). We hypothesized that the addition of once weekly SEL to Pd (XPd) would be an active, all-oral combination with an acceptable safety profile in pts with LEN refractory and BOR treated MM. Methods: In the SPd arm of the multi-arm Phase 1b/2 STOMP study, SEL was evaluated at 60, 80, or 100 mg QW or 60 or 80 mg twice weekly in combination with Pd. Study objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and assess the safety and activity of the SPd regimen including in pts receiving the RP2D. Results: As of 4 Jan 2021, 65 pts (33 male) were enrolled with median age of 64 years (range 37-85 years) and median of 3 (range 1-10) prior lines of therapy. Previously treated/refractory rates were LEN 100%/85%, BOR 92%/49%, carfilzomib 43%/37%, POM 31%/29%, and daratumumab (dara) 26%/26%. RP2D was SEL 60 mg QW, POM 4 mg (days 1-21), dex 40 mg QW. Common hematologic, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) included (all grades, grades ≥3) neutropenia (63%, 55%), anemia (58%, 32%), and thrombocytopenia (54%, 31%). Non-hematologic TRAEs included nausea (62%, 2%), fatigue (55%, 11%), and decreased appetite (45%, 2%). Among POM naïve or nonrefractory MM pts (N = 44), ORR was 57% (1 sCR, 1 CR, 8 VGPR, 15 PR); mPFS was 12.2 months. In pts treated with RP2D (N = 20), ORR was 65% (1 sCR, 5 VGPR, 7 PR); mPFS was not reached with a median follow-up time of 3.9 months. In POM-refractory pts and those with prior dara, ORR was 44% (7/16) and 60% (9/15), respectively. Conclusions: SEL, once weekly, can be safely combined with Pd in pts with heavily pretreated MM. No new safety signals were identified. The all-oral combination of XPd is highly active with an ORR of 65% at RP2D (compared to expected ORR ≤30% for Pd) and produces durable responses with a mPFS of 12.2 months overall. These data support a planned Phase 3 study with an all-oral combination of XPd vs Pd in pts who have been previously treated with LEN, a PI, and an anti-CD38 mAb. Clinical trial information: NCT02343042.

Abstract: 8014 Background: Elranatamab (PF-06863135) is a bispecific molecule that activates and redirects the T-cell mediated immune response against multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by expression of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). MagnetisMM-1 (NCT03269136), the ongoing Phase 1 first-in-human study for elranatamab, was designed to characterize safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and efficacy for patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory MM. Methods: Elranatamab was given subcutaneously (SC) at doses from 80 to 1000µg/kg either weekly or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v4.03) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) by American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy criteria. PK, cytokine and soluble BCMA profiling, and lymphocyte subset analyses were performed. Response was assessed by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was assessed by next generation sequencing at a sensitivity of 1×10 -5 in accordance with IMWG criteria. Results: A total of 55 pts received single-agent elranatamab SC at a dose ≥215μg/kg as of 1-Nov-2021. Median age was 64 (range 42-80) years, and 27% of pts were Black/African American or Asian. Median number of prior regimens was 6 (range 2-15), 91% were triple-class refractory, 56% had prior stem cell transplantation, 27% had high cytogenetic risk, and 22% received prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The most common TEAEs regardless of causality included CRS, neutropenia, anemia, injection site reaction, and lymphopenia. With pre-medication and a single priming dose (600µg/kg or 44mg), the overall incidence of CRS at the recommended dose (1000µg/kg or 76mg) was 67% and limited to Grade 1 (33%) or Grade 2 (33%), with no events Grade 3 or higher. Exposure was dose dependent and Q2W dosing achieved exposure associated with anti-myeloma efficacy. Cytokine increases occurred with the first dose and were reduced by pre-medication. Soluble BCMA decreased with disease response, elranatamab therapy was associated with increased peripheral T cell proliferation, and median time to response was 36 days (range 7-73). With a median follow-up of 8.1 months (range 0.3-21) and including only IMWG confirmed responses, 31% of pts achieved complete response or better and the overall response rate was 64% (95% CI 50-75%). For responders (n = 35), median duration of response was not yet reached, but the probability of being event-free at 6 months was 91% (95% CI 73-97%). Single-agent elranatamab induces durable clinical and molecular responses, and updated data including MRD assessment will be presented. Conclusions: Elranatamab shows a manageable safety profile and achieves durable clinical and molecular responses for pts with relapsed or refractory MM. Clinical trial information: NCT03269136.

Abstract: 8027 Background: Recent trials of triple therapy in 2L and third-line (3L) Tx excluded pts refractory to LEN. This is not reflective of standard of care in first line and 2L where LEN is given until progressive disease (PD). MM-014 enrolled pts with RRMM and 2L LEN-based Tx failure. Here we report results only from cohort A of pts receiving POM + LoDEX. Cohort B will investigate POM + LoDEX + daratumumab. Methods: Adult pts with MM, 2 prior Tx lines, and PD after ≥ 2 cycles of 2L LEN-based Tx received POM + LoDEX. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Other endpoints included time to response (TTR), PFS, second primary malignancies (SPMs), and biomarkers. Results: Of 51 pts in cohort A, 39 (76.5%) discontinued Tx. Most pts (88.2%) were refractory to their last LEN Tx, (median Tx duration 24.6 mos) and 72.5% had prior bortezomib. At a median follow-up of 13.6 mos, ORR was 29.4% (2.0% complete response, 9.8% very good partial response, and 17.6% partial response [PR]) and median TTR was 1.9 mos; 66% of pts had ongoing response at 1 yr. Minimal response [MR] was reached in 15.7%. Median PFS was 13.8 mos. Pts with ≥ MR had similar Tx durations as those achieving ≥ PR. Additional results in Table. Post-Tx T-cell populations were significantly higher vs baseline (CD3 + , 72.6% vs 67.8%; CD3 + /CD8 + , 36.9% vs 32.1%). Relative changes from baseline were significantly greater in pts with response vs pts with no response (CD3 + , 10.4 vs −0.8; CD3 + /CD4 + , 4.2 vs −3.5). Conclusions: This update confirms the safety and efficacy of POM + LoDEX following 2L LEN-based Tx failure in pts with RRMM. Hematologic adverse event (AE) rates improved and median PFS was longer with 3L use than previously reported with POM + LoDEX use in later Tx lines. In addition, achieving disease control of ≥ MR led to similar PFS rates as reaching ≥ PR. Clinical trial information: NCT01946477. [Table: see text]
