This study will be a multi-center, open-label, Phase 2 study where newly diagnosed Multiple
Myeloma requiring systemic chemotherapy will be eligible for enrollment. A total of 55
subjects will be enrolled. Time to progression or death will be calculated from the date of
first treatment on protocol until the date of disease progression or death from any cause.
Patients can expect to participate between 12-24 cycles. The primary endpoint will be the
rate of response by next generation gene sequencing at the end of 8 cycles among
non-transplant candidates and transplant candidates who agreed to defer transplant.
Primary Objective
• The primary efficacy endpoint will be the rate of sCR and/or the rate of negative MRD by
next generation gene sequencing (NGS) by clonoSIGHT (Adaptive Biotechnologies) at the end of
8 cycles among non-transplant candidates and transplant candidates who agreed to defer
transplant
Secondary Objectives
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of elotuzumab in combination with KRd, when
administered to subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
- To determine the rate of MRD by next generation gene sequencing (NGS) by clonoSIGHT
(Adaptive Biotechnologies) and by multi-color flow cytometry (MFC) at the end of Cycle
4, 8,and 12 for all subjects, and end of C18 (for subjects who are MRD+ at the end of C8
but MRD- at the end of C12 only), 24 months after C1D1, and yearly after that.
- To estimate time to event, including duration of response (DOR), progression-free
survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS).
Exploratory Objectives
- GEP, proteomics, and gene sequencing to evaluate the correlation between treatment
outcome and pre-treatment subject profile.
- Immunologic correlative studies including FcγRIIIa V genotype.

a. Prior treatment of hypercalcemia or spinal cord compression or active and/or
aggressively progressing myeloma with corticosteroids and/or lenalidomide and/or
bortezomib/PI-based regimens does not disqualify the subject (the corticosteroid
treatment dose should not exceed the equivalent of 160 mg of dexamethasone in a 4

obtained within 21 days prior to enrollment WBC ≥ 2000/µL Platelets ≥ 75 x103/µL

clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min
1. Use the Cockcroft-Gault formula below):
o Female CrCl = (140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 0.85
- 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL
o Male CrCl = (140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 1.00
- 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL
2. Alternatively to Cockcroft-Gault formula of CrCl, 24hr urine CrCl can be
used AST/ALT ≤ 3 x ULN Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with
Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL) or ≤ 2 x ULN if
lenalidomide is being prescribed.
7. Males and females ≥ 18 years of age
8. ECOG performance status of 0-1
9. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have 2 negative pregnancy tests
(sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL) prior to initiating lenalidomide. The first
pregnancy test must be performed within 10-14 days before and the second
pregnancy test must be performed within 24 hours before lenalidomide is
prescribed for Cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days).
10. FCBP must agree to use 2 reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to
practice complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during the following
time periods related to this study: 1) for at least 28 days before starting
lenalidomide; 2) while participating in the study; and 3) for at least 28 days
after discontinuation from the study.
11. Male subjects must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with females
of childbearing potential while participating in the study and for at least 28
