Testing the Addition of KRT-232 (AMG 232) to Usual Chemotherapy for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

NCT03031730

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of MDM2 Inhibitor KRT-232 when given together with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patient with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). KRT-232 (AMG 232) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called MDM2 that is needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide help shrink or slow the growth of multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carfilzomib and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving MDM2 Inhibitor KRT-232, lenalidomide, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone together may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of MDM2 Inhibitor KRT-232 when given together with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patient with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). KRT-232 (AMG 232) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called MDM2 that is needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide help shrink or slow the growth of multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carfilzomib and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving MDM2 Inhibitor KRT-232, lenalidomide, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone together may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

             intercourse or agree to use 2 forms of adequate contraception or continuously abstain
             from the time of informed consent for the duration of study participation through 5
             weeks (women) after receiving the last dose of KRT-232 (AMG 232), lenalidomide, or
             carfilzomib; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or
             her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician
             immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate
             contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 3
             months after completion of KRT-232 (AMG 232) administration; this includes one highly
             effective form of contraception (e.g. intrauterine device [IUD], hormonal [birth
             control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants] or partner's

          -  Subjects must be able to swallow medication

          -  Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

        Exclusion Criteria:

             combination defined as progression of disease while on therapy or within 60 days of
             completing therapy

          -  Subjects must show evidence of wild-type (WT) p53 status on somatic tissue specimens
             as assessed by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing; note that since patients with
             relapsed myeloma have a rapidly proliferating disease, patient can be enrolled and
             begin treatment prior to obtaining the results of this test; patients who are
             discovered to have a TP53 mutation will be removed from study after cycle one and can
             continue on carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd); all enrolled patients
             will be followed for toxicity

          -  Subjects who have not recovered from toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy, defined
             as not having resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

             exception of alopecia (grade 2 or 3 toxicities from prior antitumor therapy that are
             considered irreversible [defined as having been present and stable for > 6 months],
             such as grade 2 chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, may be allowed if they are
             not otherwise described in the exclusion criteria AND there is agreement to allow by

          -  Subjects with known central nervous system involvement of myeloma should be excluded
             from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often
             develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of
             neurologic and other adverse events

          -  Subjects with history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar
             chemical or biologic composition to KRT-232 (AMG 232) or carfilzomib, lenalidomide, or

             medication, malabsorption syndrome, requirement for intravenous alimentation, prior
             surgical procedures affecting absorption, uncontrolled inflammatory GI disease (e.g.,
             Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)

          -  Subjects with history of bleeding diathesis

          -  Subjects with active infection requiring IV antibiotics within 2 weeks of study
             enrollment (day 1) are excluded

          -  Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HepBsAg) (indicative of chronic hepatitis B),
             positive hepatitis total core antibody with negative HBsAG (suggestive of occult
             hepatitis B), or detectable hepatitis C virus RNA by a polymerase-chain reaction (PCR)
             assay (indicative of active hepatitis C - screening is generally done by hepatitis C
             antibody [HepCAb], followed by hepatitis C virus RNA by PCR if HepCAb is positive);
             subjects with hepatitis B virus suppressed on therapy, and previously
             treated/eradicated hepatitis C virus are eligible for study

          -  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive subjects positive for human

                  PCR-based test

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because KRT-232 (AMG 232) is an agent with
             the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown
             but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
             mother with KRT-232 (AMG 232), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is
             treated with KRT-232 (AMG 232); these potential risks may also apply to other agents
             used in this study

          -  Women who are lactating/breast feeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study
             through 1 week after receiving the last dose of study drug

Description:The myeloma response rate (responses >= partial response) will also be tabulated by dose cohort and overall.
Measure:Time to response
Time Frame:Up to 30 days after last dose
Safety Issue:
Description:Time-to-event analyses will be done using Kaplan-Meier analyses.
Measure:Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Time from the time of enrollment until documented disease progression, as determined by the Investigator using IMWG uniform response criteria, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 30 days after last dose
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to response will be summarized by descriptive statistics by dose cohorts. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to estimate PFS over time and the median duration of PFS. Subjects with no PFS event will be censored at the date of their last myeloma disease assessment.
Measure:Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Time from the initial administration of MDM2 inhibitor KRT-232 + KRd to death form any cause, assessed up to 30 days after last dose
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to response will be summarized by descriptive statistics by dose cohorts. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to estimate the OS function. Subjects who do not die will be censored at the date that the subject was last known to be alive.
