Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Continuous Subcutaneous Lenalidomide in Multiple Myeloma (MM)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Primary Objective
• Assess the safety and tolerability of low-dose lenalidomide administered by continuous subcutaneous (SC) infusion (STAR-LLD) in combination with dexamethasone and a proteasome inhibitor (PI).
Secondary Objectives
-
To assess the immunologic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and T cells for innate and humoral immunity.
-
To establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of STAR-LLD at a defined infusion rate targeting steady-state blood concentrations.
-
To determine pharmacodynamic (PD) changes with STAR-LLD in a panel of biomarkers associated with clinical response to lenalidomide.
-
Evaluate changes in efficacy indicators including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR).
Exploratory Objective
-
To assess the impact of STAR-LLD on patient reported symptoms and outcomes. Primary Endpoints
-
The grade, frequency, and relationship of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including adverse events of special interest (AESIs): (gastrointestinal [GI] toxicity, fatigue, hematologic toxicity, rash (non-infusion site).
-
The observation of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of STAR-LLD during Cycle 1. Secondary Endpoints
-
Immune profiles, functional assays for NK cell activation and antigen specific T-cell activity.
-
Blood concentrations of lenalidomide at on Day 1 and at steady state.
-
Changes in biomarkers during treatment.
-
Rate of complete response, very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assess the safety and tolerability of low-dose lenalidomide administered by continuous subcutaneous (SC) infusion (STAR-LLD) in combination with dexamethasone and a proteasome inhibitor (PI). [12 months]
Based on the incidence of adverse events associated with the use of the drug
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To assess the immunologic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and T cells for innate and humoral immunity. [12 months]
Measure changes in T cell and NK cell function/exhaustion over the study by flow cytometry
- To establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of STAR-LLD at a defined infusion rate targeting steady-state blood concentrations. [12 months]
Meaured vs predicted blood concentrations of lenalidomide during the infusion and at steady state
- To determine pharmacodynamic (PD) changes with STAR-LLD in a panel of biomarkers associated with clinical response to lenalidomide. [12 months]
Evaluate desirable changes in immune cells activity over therapy
- Evaluate changes in efficacy indicators including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR). [12 months]
An ORR of 60% is representative of patients being retreated with PI and Len
Other Outcome Measures
- Assess the DOR, PFS during treatment [18 months]
Report the deprived data for these outcomes
