NCT03871829

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy (rate of very good partial response \[VGPR\] or better as best response as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group \[IMWG\] criteria) of daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) with the efficacy of Kd in participants with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who were previously exposed to daratumumab to evaluate daratumumab retreatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Achieving Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) or Better Response

    Percentage of participants achieving VGPR or better response were reported. VGPR or better rate was defined as the percentage of participants achieving VGPR, complete response (CR), or stringent complete response (sCR) in accordance with the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, during or after the study treatment but before the start of subsequent anti-myeloma therapy. IMWG criteria for VGPR: Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis, or greater than or equal to (\>=) 90 percent (%) reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein less than (\<) 100 milligram (mg)/24 hours; for CR: Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, and Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas (PCs), and \<5% PCs in bone marrow; for sCR: CR plus normal free light chain (FLC) ratio, and Absence of clonal PCs by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or 2- to 4- color flow cytometry.

    Up to 3 years and 4 months

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Up to 3 years and 7 months

  • Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Better

    Up to 3 years and 7 months

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Up to 3 years and 7 months

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Up to 3 years and 7 months

  • Percentage of Participants With Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)

    Up to 3 years and 7 months

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Arm A: Carfilzomib+Dexamethasone (Kd)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive carfilzomib 20 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and then 70 mg/m\^2 on Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and thereafter on Days 1, 8, 15 of Cycle 2 onwards. Participants will receive dexamethasone 20 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1, a second dose of 20 milligram (mg) will be given on Cycle 1 Day 2 and 40 mg IV or orally on Days 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1. Patients will then receive dexamethasone 40mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for cycles 2-9, then on Days 1, 8, 15 for Cycle 10 onwards, until death, intolerable toxicity, start of a new treatment for multiple myeloma, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study. The total duration of each cycle is 28 Days.

Arm B: Dara-SC in combination with Kd (DKd)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) 1800 mg by SC injection on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1 and 2, Days 1 and 15 for Cycle 3-6, Day 1 for Cycle 7 onwards. Participants will receive carfilzomib 20 mg/m\^2 IV on Cycle 1 Day 1 and then 70 mg/m\^2 on Day 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 2. Participants will receive dexamethasone 20 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1, a second dose of 20 milligram (mg) will be given on Cycle 1 Day 2 and 40 mg IV or orally on Days 8, 15, 22 for Cycle 1. Patients will then receive dexamethasone 40mg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for cycles 2-9, then on Days 1, 8, 15 for Cycle 10 onwards, until death, intolerable toxicity, start of a new treatment for multiple myeloma, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study. The total duration of each cycle is 28 Days.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Evidence of a response (partial response or better based on investigator's determination of response by International Myeloma Working Group \[IMWG\] criteria) to daratumumab-containing therapy with response duration of at least 4 months
  • Participants must have progressed from or be refractory to their last line of treatment. Relapsed or refractory disease as defined as: a) Relapsed disease is defined as an initial response to previous treatment, followed by confirmed progressive disease (PD) by IMWG criteria greater than (\>) 60 days after cessation of treatment. b) Refractory disease is defined as less than (\<) 25 percent (%) reduction in M-protein or confirmed PD by IMWG criteria during previous treatment or \>60 days after cessation of treatment
  • Received 1 to 3 prior line(s) of treatment of which one contained daratumumab, and completed daratumumab at least 3 months prior to randomization. A single line of therapy may consist of 1 or more agents, and may include induction, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and maintenance therapy. Radiotherapy, bisphosphonate, or a single short course of corticosteroids (no more than the equivalent of dexamethasone 40 milligram per day \[mg/day\] for 4 days) would not be considered prior lines of therapy
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening within 14 days prior to randomization

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous treatment with daratumumab within the last 3 months prior to randomization
  • Discontinuation of daratumumab due to a daratumumab-related adverse event (AE)
  • History of malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) unless all treatment of that malignancy was completed at least 2 years before consent and the patient has no evidence of disease. Further exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or breast, or other non-invasive lesion, that in the opinion of the investigator, with concurrence with the sponsor's medical monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years
  • Allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to daratumumab, hyaluronidase, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), human proteins, or their excipients, or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived products. Known history of allergy to Captisol (a cyclodextrin derivative used to solubilize carfilzomib)
  • Participant is: a) Known to be seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with one or more of the following: not receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART), had a change in ART within 6 months of the start of screening, receiving ART that may interfere with study treatment, cluster of differentiation (CD)4 count \<350 (unit: cells per cubic millimeter of blood) at screening, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic infection within 6 months of start of screening, and not agreeing to start ART and be on ART \>4 weeks plus having HIV viral load \<400 copies/milliliters (mL) at end of 4-week period (to ensure ART is tolerated and HIV controlled. b) Seropositive for hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\]). Participants with resolved infection (example: participants who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen \[anti-HBc\] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen \[anti-HBs\]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. c) Known to be seropositive for hepatitis C (except in the setting of a sustained virologic response \[SVR\], defined as aviremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy)
