Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Based on the need to improve outcomes post second autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for multiple myeloma (MM) and the benefits seen of maintenance treatment following initial ASCT, the natural next step is to evaluate maintenance/continuation therapy following second ASCT.

Pomalidomide is active against MM cells refractory to both bortezomib and lenalidomide, making it an ideal choice for continuation therapy following second ASCT. Adding elotuzumab may increase efficacy and also the durability of responses which is essential to improving outcomes following second ASCT.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Elotuzumab + Pomalidomide + Dexamethasone Patients will undergo standard of care ASCT melphalan conditioning. Administration of melphalan and the second ASCT will be done as part of routine care and procedures are not dictated by this protocol. Continuation therapy with Elo-Pom-Dex will begin between Days 80 and 120 following the second ASCT: Elotuzumab on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 1-6 followed by 20 mg/kg on Day 1 for Cycles 7+ Pomalidomide daily on Days 1-21 of all cycles Dexamethasone on Days 1 and 15 of all cycles Continuation therapy may continue until relapse or progression.	Drug: Elotuzumab During continuation therapy, elotuzumab will be administered on a 28-day cycle as follows: on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 1-6 and on Day 1 for Cycles 7+. For Cycles 1-6 elotuzumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg. For Cycles 7+ elotuzumab will be administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Other Names: Empliciti Drug: Pomalidomide During continuation therapy, pomalidomide will be taken by mouth daily on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle at a starting dose of 2 mg. During continuation, pomalidomide may be dose escalated to 4 mg at the discretion of the treating physician if the 2 mg dose is tolerated. Other Names: Pomalyst Drug: Dexamethasone During continuation therapy, dexamethasone will be taken by mouth at a starting dose of 40 mg. It will be given on a 28-day cycle as follows: on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 1-6 and on Day 1 only for Cycles 7+. Sufficient quantity of drug for one cycle of therapy will be prescribed to the patient at a time. Other Names: Decadron

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Event-free survival (EFS) rate [1 year]
-Event-free survival (EFS) will be defined as time from ASCT to disease progression, relapse, or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who are removed from study therapy prior to any of these events occurring will be censored at the time of initiation of subsequent anti-myeloma treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall response rate (ORR) [Through completion of treatment (estimated to be 102 weeks)]
-Overall response rate (ORR) will be defined as the proportion of evaluable patients meeting the criteria for partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR), or stringent complete response (sCR).
Complete response rate (CRR) [Through completion of treatment (estimated to be 102 weeks)]
Complete response rate (CRR) will be defined as the proportion of evaluable patients meeting the criteria complete (CR) or stringent complete response (sCR) Stringent complete response (sCR) requires all of the following: CR as defined below Normal free light chain ratio (0.26-1.65) Absence of clonal cells in the bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence Complete response (CR) requires all of the following: Disappearance of monoclonal protein by both protein electrophoresis and immunofixation studies from the blood and urine If serum and urine monoclonal protein are unmeasurable, Normal free light chain ratio (0.26-1.65) <5% plasma cells in the bone marrow Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytoma Patients who do not meet the definition of CR based solely on residual monoclonal protein on serum electrophoresis and/or immunofixation, but are MRD-negative as described above, will also be considered CR.
Event-free survival (EFS) [Up to 5 years post completion of treatment]
-Event-free survival (EFS) will be defined as time from ASCT to disease progression, relapse, or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who are removed from study therapy prior to any of these events occurring will be censored at the time of initiation of subsequent anti-myeloma treatment.
Progression-free survival (PFS) [Up to 5 years post completion of treatment]
-Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined as time from ASCT to disease progression or relapse. Any patient who expires or withdraws prior to disease progression or relapse will be censored at last follow-up. Patients who are removed from study therapy prior to progression or relapse will be censored at the time of initiation of subsequent anti-myeloma treatment.
Overall survival (OS) [Up to 5 years post completion of treatment]
-Overall survival (OS) will be defined as time from ASCT to death due to any causes. Patients who are alive at the time of data analyses will be censored on the last known alive date. Patients who are removed from study therapy prior death will be censored at the time of initiation of subsequent anti-myeloma treatment.
Toxicity of regimen as measured by frequency of adverse events per the number of participants treated [Up to 30 days following completion of treatment (estimated to be 106 weeks)]
-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
