Brief Summary
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogenous plasma cell malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells and organ damage. Autologous transplantation with high dose chemotherapy is the standard of care in frontline treatment of eligible patients with MM.

Secondary Outcomes (4)
Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negativity (10^-5) (ClonoSeqTM)
2 years
Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)
4 years
Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS), and hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities per NCI CTCAE v5 criteria

Study Arms (1)
Talquetamab
EXPERIMENTALStudy participants will receive talquetamab (JNJ-64407564) for one cycle and a combination of talquetamab and lenalidomide for cycles 2-13 after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
Interventions
Talquetamab Step up dosing: C1D1: 10 mcg/kg C1D3: 60 mcg/kg C1D5: 400 mcg/kg C1D15: 800 mcg/kg Talquetamab 800 mg/kg SC Q4W in 28-day cycle for Cycles 2-13
Lenalidomide 10 mg, 3 weeks on 1 week off, until PD/ intolerance, C2-13 (Lenalidomide 5 mg for creatinine clearance 30-60 ml/min)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants must have had a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic multiple myeloma according to according to IMWG diagnostic criteria.
- Measurable disease at the time of myeloma diagnosis Measurable disease is defined as measurable M protein in the serum (≥ 0.5g/dL) or urine (≥ 200 mg/24h) or serum free light chain assay (defined as dFLC ≥ 10 mg/dL \[≥ 100 mg/L\]; difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain) at the time of diagnosis. Participants with smoldering myeloma are not eligible until they have progressed to symptomatic myeloma. Participants with purely non-secretory MM at the time of diagnosis as measured by electrophoresis and immunofixation and the absence of Bence Jones proteins in the urine are not eligible.
- Age \>18 years.
- Patients who have already received transplant should have undergone autologous stem cell transplant with Melphalan 140 mg/m2 within 12 months of start of induction therapy of multiple myeloma and are within day +60-120 post-transplant. Patients who have not already received transplant must have begun induction therapy within 12 months prior to the planned date of transplant.
- Participants must not be refractory to lenalidomide
- Participants must not have progressive disease at any time prior to registration
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1.
- Have clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria during the Screening Phase and also at start of administration of study treatment:
- \- Hemoglobin: ≥ 8 g/dL (≥ 4.96 mmol/L; without transfusion support or erythropoietin use within 7 days before the laboratory test)
- \- Platelets: ≥ 75×109/L in participants in whom \<50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells and ≥ 50×109/L in participants in whom ≥50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells (without transfusion support or thrombopoietin receptor agonist within 7 days before the laboratory test)
- \- Absolute neutrophil count: ≥ 1.0×109/L (prior growth factor support is permitted but must be without support for 7 days for G-CSF or GM-CSF and for 14 days for pegylated GCSF before the laboratory test)
- \- AST and ALT: ≤2.5×ULN
- Creatinine clearance: ≥30 mL/min based on Cockcroft Gault equation
- Total bilirubin: ≤2.0×ULN; except in participants with congenital bilirubinemia, such as Gilbert syndrome (in which case direct bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN is required)
- Serum calcium corrected for albumin: ≤14 mg/dL (≤3.5 mmol/L) or free ionized calcium ≤6.5 mg/dL
- +16 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Intolerance to lenalidomide 10 mg (or 5 mg for patients with creatinine clearance 30-60 ml/min).
- Refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma at any time before enrollment
- Contraindications or life-threatening allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to any study drug or its excipients (refer to the talquetamab Investigator's Brochure and appropriate package inserts).
- Prior or concurrent exposure to any of the following, in the specified time frame as defined below:
- a. Received any prior GRPRCD5-directed therapy b. Received prior T-cell redirection therapy (for example, antibody therapy or BiTE's) or Chimeric antigen T cell therapy.
- b. Gene-modified adoptive cell therapy (eg, chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells, NK cells) within 3 months
- c. Targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, or treatment with an investigational drug or an invasive investigational medical device within 21 days or ≥5 half-lives, whichever is less
- d. Investigational vaccine other than SARS CoV-2 vaccine approved/ in use under emergency approval within 4 weeks
- e. Live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks.
- f. Monoclonal antibody therapy targeting multiple myeloma within 21 days
- g. Cytotoxic therapy within 21 days i PI therapy within 14 days
- h. IMiD agent therapy within 14 days
- i. Radiotherapy within 14 days or focal radiation within 7 days
- A maximum cumulative dose of corticosteroids of ≥ 140 mg of prednisone or equivalent within 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (does not include pretreatment medications) (Section 13.8, Appendix 8)
- Known active CNS involvement or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma. If either is suspected, negative whole brain MRI and lumbar cytology are required.
