Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicentre, dose escalation study to characterize the safety and preliminary efficacy of the human anti-CD38 antibody MOR03087 (MOR202), in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, as monotherapy and in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in combination with standard therapy.

Detailed description

The study enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and Karnofsky performance status of 60% or higher. Patients were assigned to the different treatment regimens with MOR202 ranging between 0·01 mg/kg and 16 mg/kg in a 3 + 3 design. Dose-escalation and expansion was done either with MOR202 intravenous infusions alone (MOR202 q2w \[twice a week\] and q1w \[weekly\] groups) or in combination with dexamethasone (MOR202 with dexamethasone group), with dexamethasone plus pomalidomide (MOR202 with dexamethasone plus pomalidomide group) or plus lenalidomide (MOR202 with dexamethasone plus lenalidomide group). Primary endpoints were safety, MOR202 maximum tolerated dose (or recommended dose) and regimen, and immunogenicity.

Interventions

DRUGMOR03087 phase 1 dose escalation

Treatment cycles will be 28 days. Initial MOR03087 doses will be 0.01 mg/kg in part A, 4 mg/kg in parts B and C and 8 mg/kg in parts D and E; in all parts MOR03087 doses will be escalated to a maximum of 16 mg/kg. In part A, patients will receive a biweekly intravenous infusion of MOR03087 which will be administered on days 1 and 15 of the cycle. In parts B to E patients will receive a weekly intravenous infusion of MOR03087 which will be administered on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the cycle. In all parts a loading dose of MOR03087 will be additionally administered on day 4 of cycle 1.

DRUGMOR03087

MOR03087 will be administered according to the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or recommended dose and dosing regimen for MOR03087 from parts A-E of the phase I dose escalation. The biweekly MOR03087 regimen as described in part A; the weekly regimen as described for parts B-E.

DRUGDexamethasone

Dexamethasone will be administered to patients orally; 40 mg (≤ 75 years old) or 20 mg (\> 75 years old) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the 28-day cycle. An additional dose will be administered in cycle 1 on day 4.

DRUGPomalidomide

Pomalidomide will be administered to patients orally 4 mg on days 1-21 of the 28-day cycle.

DRUGLenalidomide

Lenalidomide will be administered to patients orally 25 mg on days 1-21 of the 28-day cycle.
