Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

IMWG criteria define a CR as "Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and \< 5% plasma cells in bone marrow" and an sCR as "CR plus normal FLC ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence."

Study Arms (3)

Induction

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will receive 4 cycles of induction therapy. Based on the recommendation of investigators, participants may or may not proceed to an autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) after cycles 1-4. Each cycle is 28 days in length (see dosing details below.) For patient undergoing upfront stem cell transplant (SCT): 4 cycles followed by stem cell collection, high-dose chemotherapy, and autologous SCT followed by 2 cycles (called consolidation). For patients deferring SCT following collection: 4 cycles followed by stem cell collection followed by 4 additional cycles. Carfilzomib: 56 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8,15 Lenalidomide 25 mg orally (PO) on Days 1-21 Isatuximab: 10 mg/kg IV weekly for cycles 1-2 (days 1, 8, 15, 22), then every 2 weeks for cycles 3-6 (days 1 and 15), and monthly (day 1) thereafter Dexamethasone: 20 mg orally (PO) administered day of and day after carfilzomib and isatuximab (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; days 22 and 23 during cycles 1-2 only).

Maintenance-High Risk

EXPERIMENTAL

Only patients that have achieved a partial response (PR) or better after induction therapy with or without stem cell transplant will continue on to maintenance therapy. The treatment participants will receive for maintenance will be based on the biological features (or cytogenetics) of participants myeloma and categorized into two groups: Standard-risk and High Risk. High Risk: subjects with high risk cytogenetics (deletion (del 17, translocation (t)(4:14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q duplications) will receive the following study treatment for up to two years (24 28-day cycles) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity: Lenalidomide 10 mg orally (PO) Day 1-21 Carfilzomib 56 mg/m2 or last tolerated dose IV Days 1, 15 Isatuximab 10 mg/kg IV Day 1

Drug: CarfilzomibDrug: IsatuximabDrug: LenalidomideDrug: Dexamethasone

Maintenance- Standard Risk

EXPERIMENTAL

Only patients that have achieved a partial response (PR) or better after induction therapy with or without stem cell transplant will continue on to maintenance therapy. The treatment participants will receive for maintenance will be based on the biological features (or cytogenetics) of participants myeloma and categorized into two groups: Standard-risk and High Risk. Standard Risk: subjects without high risk cytogenetics (deletion (del 17, translocation (t)(4:14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q duplications) will receive the following study treatment for up to two years (24 28-day cycles) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity: \- Lenalidomide 10 mg orally (PO) Day 1-21

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
  • Subject must have documented multiple myeloma satisfying the CRAB criteria and measurable disease defined as:
  • Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow ≥10% or presence of a biopsy-proven Plasmacytoma.
  • Measurable disease as defined by any of the following:
  • IgG myeloma: Serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level ≥.5 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
  • IgA, IgM, or IgD multiple myeloma: serum M-protein level ≥0.25 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
  • Light chain multiple myeloma: Serum immunoglobulin free light chain ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio.
  • Sixty percent or greater clonal plasma cells on bone marrow examination.
  • Serum involved / uninvolved free light chain ratio of 100 or greater, provided the absolute level of the involved free light chain is at least 100 mg/L (a patient's "involved" free light chain - either kappa or lambda - is the one that is above the normal reference range; the uninvolved light chain is the one that typically is in, or below, the normal range).
  • More than one focal lesion on magnetic resonance image (MRI) that is at least 5 mm or greater in size.
  • Newly diagnosed and considered candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant.
  • Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2.
  • Subject must have pretreatment clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase:
  • hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dL (≥ mmol/L; prior RBC transfusion or recombinant human erythropoietin use is permitted);
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 109/L (granulocyte colony stimulating factor \[GCSF\] use is permitted);
  • +10 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Any potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study.
  • Subject has a diagnosis of primary amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, or smoldering multiple myeloma. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is defined by presence of serum M-protein \<3 g/dL; absence of lytic bone lesions, anemia, hypercalcemia, and renal insufficiency related to the M-protein; and (if determined) proportion of plasma cells in the bone marrow of 10% or less. Smoldering multiple myeloma is defined as asymptomatic MM with absence of related organ or tissue impairment end organ damage.
  • Subject has a diagnosis of Waldenström's disease, or other conditions in which IgM M-protein is present in the absence of a clonal plasma cell infiltration with lytic bone lesions

Subjects with known or suspected COPD or asthma must have a FEV1 test during screening.

  • Subject has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease (eg, active systemic infection, uncontrolled diabetes, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease) that is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for participating in this study.
  • Subject has clinically significant cardiac disease, including:
  • myocardial infarction within 1 year before enrollment, or an unstable or uncontrolled disease/condition related to or affecting cardiac function (eg, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III-IV;
  • uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI CTCAE\] Version 4 Grade ≥2) or clinically significant ECG abnormalities;
  • screening 12-lead ECG showing a baseline QT interval as corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \>470 msec.

Limitations and Caveats

Results up to cycle 6/8 of KRDI are currently available and entered in CT.gov, including the primary endpoint and secondary endpoints that can be reported at this time. Data after the beginning of maintenance therapy (post-cycle 6 for patients who had stem cell transplants, and post-cycle 8 for patients who deferred stem cell transplant), including adverse event data, is still being collected and analyzed as of August 2023.
