Résumé
Introduction: Combination of daratumumab (Dara) and lenalidomide (Len) may enhance the function of teclistamab (Tec), potentially resulting in improved antimyeloma activity in a broader population. We present initial safety and efficacy data of Tec-Dara- Len combination in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in a phase 1b study (MajesTEC-2;NCT04722146). Method(s): Eligible patients who received 1-3 prior lines of therapy (LOT), including a proteasome inhibitor and immune-modulatory drug, were given weekly doses of Tec (0.72-or- 1.5 mg/kg with step-up dosing) + Dara 1800 mg + Len 25 mg. Responses per International Myeloma Working Group criteria, adverse events (Aes) per CTCAE v5.0, and for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) per ASTCT guidelines, were assessed. Result(s): 32 patients received Tec-Dara- Len (0.72 mg/kg, n = 13;1.5 mg/kg, n = 19). At data cut-off (11 July 2022), median follow-up (range) was 5.78 months (1.0-10.4) and median treatment duration was 4.98 months (0.10-10.35). Median age was 62 years (38-75);87.5% were male. Median prior LOT was 2 (1-3), 18.8% were refractory to Dara and 28.1% refractory to Len. CRS was most frequent AE (81.3% [n = 26], all grade 1/2), 95% occurred during cycle1. Median time to onset was 2 days (1-8), median duration was 2 days (1-22). No ICANS were reported. Frequent Aes (>=25.0% across both dose levels) were neutropenia (75.0% [n = 24];grade 3/4: 68.8% [n = 22]), fatigue (43.8% [n = 14];grade 3/4: 6.3% [n = 2]), diarrhoea (37.5% [n = 12];all grade 1/2), insomnia (31.3% [n = 10];grade 3/4: 3.1% [n = 1]), cough (28.1% [n = 9];all grade 1/2), hypophosphatemia (25.0% [n = 8];all grade 1/2), and pyrexia (25% [n = 8];grade 3/4: 6.3% [n = 2]). Febrile neutropenia frequency was 12.5% (n = 4). Infections occurred in 24 patients (75.0%;grade 3/4: 28.1% [n = 9]). Most common were upper respiratory infection (21.9% [n = 7]), COVID-19 (21.9% [n = 7]), and pneumonia (21.9% [n = 7]). Three (9.4%) had COVID-19 pneumonia. One (3.1%) discontinued due to COVID-19 infection and this patient subsequently died of this infection. Overall response rate (ORR, median follow-up) was 13/13 (8.61 months) at 0.72 mg/kg and 13/16 evaluable patients (less mature at 4.17 months) at 1.5 mg/kg. 12 patients attained very good/better partial response at 0.72 mg/kg dose, and response was not mature for 1.5 mg/kg group. Median time to first response was 1.0 month (0.7-2.0). Preliminary pharmacokinetic concentrations of Tec-Dara- Len were similar as seen with Tec monotherapy. Tec-Dara- Len- treatment led to proinflammatory cytokine production and T-cell activation. Conclusion(s): The combination of Tec-Dara- Len has no new safety signals beyond those seen with Tec or Dara-Len individually. Promising ORR supports the potential for this combination to have enhanced early disease control through the addition of Tec. These data warrant further investigation.
