Description
THERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA FIELD
[0001] Provided herein are therapies for treating and / or managing multiple myeloma, which comprise administering to a patient a cereblon E3 ligase modulator and a BCMA*CD3 bispecific antibody.BACKGROUND
[0002] Multiple myeloma, especially relapsed refractor}' multiple myeloma (RRMM), remains challenging to treat although outcomes have improved with use of proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory compounds and cluster of differentiation 38-directed antibodies. Despite this, relapse rates remain high and relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) cells typically acquire a more aggressive phenotype that results in shorter durations of response and decreased survival rates. This highlights the need for new agents and combinations which may provide synergistic anti-myeloma activity, overcome resistance to prior therapies and represent well tolerated novel treatment options (Leow CC, Low MSY. Targeted Therapies for Multiple Myeloma. J Pers Med. 2021 ;11(5)).
[0003] Therapeutic strategies to optimize outcomes for MM patients may require a multifaceted approach to address the heterogeneous biological aspects of the disease, including immune dysfunction. Long-term disease control may be best achieved by combining therapies that have distinct mechanisms of action, especially those that target key components of the immune system and are able to restore its functionality. The combinations provided herein have the potential to provide additional enhanced clinical benefits to patients with RRMM.SUMMARY

[0039] The term “human BCMA” as used herein relates to human B cell maturation antigen, TR17_HUMAN, TNFRSF17 (UniProt Q02223), which is a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily that is preferentially expressed in differentiated plasma cells. The extracellular domain of BCMA consists according to UniProt of amino acids 1 - 54 (or 5-51). The term “antibody against BCMA” or “anti -BCMA antibody” as used herein relates to an antibody specifically binding to BCMA.
[0040] The term “antibody against CD3” or “anti-CD3 antibody” relates to an antibody specifically binding to CD3. In one embodiment, the antibody specifically binds to CD3s. The term “CD3E” as used herein relates to human CD3E described under UniProt P07766 (CD3E HUMAN).
[0041] The term “antibody” as used herein refers to a monoclonal antibody. An antibody consists of two pairs of a “light chain” (LC) and a “heavy chain” (HC) (such light chain (LC) / heavy chain pairs are abbreviated herein as LC / HC). The light chains and heavy chains of such antibodies are polypeptides consisting of several domains. Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as HCVR or VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises the heavy chain constant domains CHI, CH2 and CH3 (antibody classes IgA, IgD, and IgG) and optionally the heavy chain constant domain CH4 (antibody classes IgE and IgM). Each light chain comprises a light chain variable domain VL and a light chain constant domain CL. The variable domains VH and VL can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino terminus to carboxy -terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The “constant domains” of the heavy chain and of the light chain are not involved directly in binding of an antibody to a target, but exhibit various effector functions. An antibody (or antibody portion) can be in one embodiment a Fab fragment, if said antibody portion is comprised in a bispecific antibody according to the invention. The antibody according to the invention can also be a Fab’, F(ab’)2, a scFv, a di- scFv, or a bi-specific T-cell engager (BiTE®).
[0042] The terms “antibody,” “immunoglobulin,” and “Ig” are used interchangeably herein, and are used in the broadest sense and specifically cover, for example polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies (including agonist, antagonist, neutralizing antibodies, full-length monoclonal antibodies), antibody compositions with polyepitopic or monoepitopic specificity, recombinantly produced antibodies, single domain (e.g, VHH) antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), synthetic antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or human versions of antibodies having full-length heavy and / or light chains. VHH as used herein refers to a domain antibody derived from a variable region of a heavy chain only antibody. Exemplary single domain antibodies include, but are not limited to, antibodies naturally devoid of light chains such asthose from Camelidae species (e.g., llama), single domain antibodies derived from conventional 4-chain antibodies, engineered antibodies and single domain scaffolds other than those derived from antibodies. Single domain antibodies may be derived from any species including, but not limited to mouse, human, camel, llama, goat, rabbit, and bovine. VHH can also be derived from other species besides Camelidae that may produce heavy chain antibodies naturally devoid of light chain. Antibodies also include antibody fragments (and / or polypeptides that comprise antibody fragments) that retain antigen binding characteristics. Non-limiting examples of antibody fragments include antigen-binding regions and / or effector regions of the antibody, e.g, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv, scFv, (scFv)2, single chain antibody molecule, dual variable domain antibody, single variable domain, linear antibody, V region, a multispecific antibody formed from antibody fragments, F(ab)2, Fd, Fc, diabody, di-diabody, disulfide-linked Fvs (dsFv), single-domain antibody (e.g, nanobody) or other fragments (e.g, fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains that are non-covalently coupled). In general terms, a variable (V) region domain may be any suitable arrangement of immunoglobulin heavy (VH) and / or light (VL) variable domains. For example, antibodies also include tetrameric antibodies comprising two heavy chain and two light chain molecules, an antibody light chain monomer, and an antibody heavy chain monomer. Thus, for example, the V region domain may be dimeric and contain VHH-VHH, VH-VH, VH-VL, or VL-VL dimers that bind to an antigen. If desired, the VH and VL may be covalently coupled either directly or through a linker to form a single chain Fv (scFv). For ease of reference, scFv proteins are referred to herein as included in the category “antibody fragments.” Another form of an antibody fragment is a peptide comprising one or more complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of an antibody. CDRs (also termed “minimal recognition units” or “hypervariable regions”) can be obtained by constructing polynucleotides that encode one or more CDRs of interest. Such polynucleotides are prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region using mRNA of antibody -producing cells as a template (see, for example, Larrick et al. , Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology, 2: 106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, “Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), page 166, Cambridge University Press (1995); and Ward et al., “Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch etal., (eds.), page 137, Wiley-Liss, Inc. (1995)). Antibody fragments may be incorporated, for example, into single domain antibodies, maxibodies, minibodies, intrabodies, diabodies, triabodies,tetrabodies, variable domains of new antigen receptors (v-NAR), and bis-single chain Fv regions (see, e.g, Hollinger and Hudson, Nature Biotechnology, 23(9): 1126-1136, 2005). In some embodiments, antibodies comprising a VH and / or VL further contain a light chain and / or a heavy chain constant region, such as one or more constant regions, including one or more IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and / or IgG4 constant regions. In some embodiments, antibodies can include epitope-binding fragments of any of the above. The antibodies described herein can be of any class (e.g, IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA) or any subclass (e.g, IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgA2) or any subclass (e.g, IgG2a or IgG2b) of immunoglobulin molecule. In some embodiments, antibodies described herein are IgG antibodies (e.g, human IgG), or a class (e.g, human IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgGl) or a subclass thereof.
[0043] Bispecific antibody formats are well known in the state of the art and e.g. also described in Kontermann RE, mAbs 4:2 1-16 (2012); Holliger P., Hudson PJ, Nature Biotech.23 (2005) 1126- 1136 and Chan AC, Carter PJ Nature Reviews Immunology 10, 301-316 (2010) and Cuesta AM et al., Trends Biotech 28 (2011) 355-362. The term “bispecific antibody” as used herein refers in one embodiment to an antibody in which one of the two pairs of heavy chain and light chain (HC / LC) is specifically binding to CD3 and the other one is specifically binding to BCMA. The term also refers to other formats of bispecific antibodies according to the state of the art. In one embodiment, the term “bispecific antibody” includes bispecific single-chain antibodies, such as antibodies in the BiTE® format, DART antibodies, diabodies, tandem scFvs and antibody mimetics such as DARPins.
[0044] The terms “identical” or percent “identity” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptides, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same, when compared and aligned (introducing gaps, if necessary) for maximum correspondence, not considering any conservative amino acid substitutions as part of the sequence identity. The percent identity can be measured using sequence comparison software or algorithms or by visual inspection. Various algorithms and software that can be used to obtain alignments of amino acid or nucleotide sequences are well-known in the art. These include, but are not limited to, BLAST, ALIGN, Megalign, BestFit, GCG Wisconsin Package, and variants thereof. In some embodiments, two nucleic acids or polypeptides are substantially identical, meaning they have at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, or at least 90%, and in some embodiments at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% nucleotide or amino acid residue identity, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measuredusing a sequence comparison algorithm or by visual inspection. In some embodiments, identity exists over a region of the amino acid sequences that is at least about 10 residues, at least about 20 residues, at least about 40-60 residues, at least about 60-80 residues in length or any integral value there between. In some embodiments, identity exists over a longer region than 60-80 residues, such as at least about 80-100 residues, and in some embodiments the sequences are substantially identical over the full length of the sequences being compared, such as the coding region of a target protein or an antibody. In some embodiments, identity exists over a region of the nucleotide sequences that is at least about 10 bases, at least about 20 bases, at least about 40-60 bases, at least about 60-80 bases in length or any integral value there between. In some embodiments, identity exists over a longer region than 60-80 bases, such as at least about 80-1000 bases or more, and in some embodiments the sequences are substantially identical over the full-length of the sequences being compared, such as a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein of interest. As used herein, an “antigen” is a moiety or molecule that contains an epitope to which a binding agent (e.g, an antibody) can bind. As such, an antigen can be bound by an antibody. In some embodiments, the antigen, to which a binding agent (e.g, an antibody) described herein binds, is BCMA (e.g, human BCMA), or a fragment thereof, including a fragment that comprises one or more domains of BCMA. In some embodiments, the antigen, to which a binding agent (e.g, an antibody) described herein binds, is CD3 (e.g, human CD3), or a fragment thereof, including a fragment that comprises one or more domains of CD3.
[0045] As used herein, the terms “specifically binds,” “specifically recognizes,” “immunospecifically binds,” “selectively binds,” “immunospecifically recognizes” and “immunospecific” are analogous terms in the context of antibodies and refer to molecules that bind to an antigen (e.g, epitope) as such binding is understood by one skilled in the art. In some embodiments, “specifically binds” means, for instance that a polypeptide or molecule interacts more frequently, more rapidly, with greater duration, with greater affinity, or with some combination of the above to the epitope, protein, or target molecule than with alternative substances, including related and unrelated proteins. For example, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may bind to other peptides or polypeptides, generally with lower affinity as determined by, e.g, immunoassays, BIACORE™, KinExA 3000 instrument (Sapidyne Instruments, Boise, ID), the OctetQK384 system (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA), or other assays known in the art. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding domain binds to or specifically binds to an antigen when it binds to the antigen with higher affinity than to any cross-reactive antigen as determined using experimental techniques, such asradioimmunoassays (RIAs) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Typically a specific or selective reaction will be at least twice background signal or noise and may be more than 10 times background. See, e.g, Fundamental Immunology 332-36 (Paul ed., 2d ed. 1989) for a discussion regarding binding specificity. In some embodiments, the extent of binding of an antibody or antigen-binding domain to a “non-targef ’ protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody or antigen-binding domain to its particular target antigen, for example, as determined by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis or RIAs. In some embodiments, molecules that specifically bind to an antigen bind to the antigen with a Ka that is at least 2 logs, 2.5 logs, 3 logs, 4 logs or greater than the Ka when the molecules bind to another antigen. In some embodiments, molecules that specifically bind to an antigen do not cross react with other proteins. In another specific embodiment, molecules that specifically bind to an antigen do not cross react with other proteins. In some embodiments “specifically binds” means, for instance, that a polypeptide or molecule binds a protein or target with a KD of about 0. ImM or less, but more usually less than about 1 pM. In some embodiments, “specifically binds” means that a polypeptide or molecule binds a target with a KD of at least about 0. IpM or less, at least about O.OlpM or less, or at least about InM or less. Because of the sequence identity between homologous proteins in different species, specific binding can include a polypeptide or molecule that recognizes a protein or target in more than one species. Likewise, because of homology within certain regions of polypeptide sequences of different proteins, specific binding can include a polypeptide or molecule that recognizes more than one protein or target. It is understood that, in some embodiments, a polypeptide or molecule that specifically binds a first target may or may not specifically bind a second target. As such, “specific binding” does not necessarily require (although it can include) exclusive binding, e.g, binding to a single target. Thus, a polypeptide or molecule can, in some embodiments, specifically bind more than one target. In some embodiments, multiple targets can be bound by the same antigen-binding site on the polypeptide or molecule. For example, an antibody can, in certain instances, comprise two identical antigenbinding sites, each of which specifically binds the same epitope on two or more proteins. In certain alternative embodiments, an antibody can be bispecific and comprise at least two antigen-binding sites with differing specificities. Generally, but not necessarily, reference to “binding” means “specific binding”.
[0046] “Binding affinity” generally refers to the strength of the sum total of noncovalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., a binding agent such as an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen such as NKG2A). Unless indicatedotherwise, as used herein, “binding affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity which reflects a 1 : 1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a binding molecule X for its binding partner Y can generally be represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Low-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen slowly and tend to dissociate readily, whereas high-affinity antibodies generally bind antigen faster and tend to remain bound longer. A variety of methods of measuring binding affinity are known in the art, any of which can be used for purposes of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the “KD” or “KD value” may be measured by biolayer interferometry (BLI) using, for example, the OctetQK384 system (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA). Alternatively, the KD may also be measured in a radiolabeled antigen-binding assay (RIA), for example, performed with the Fab version of an antibody of interest and its antigen (Chen, et al., (1999) J. Mol Biol 293:865-881) or using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays by BIACORE™, using, for example, a BIACORE™-2000 or a BIACORE™-3000 (BIACORE™, Inc., Piscataway, NJ). An “on-rate” or “rate of association” or “association rate” or “kon,” as well as an “off-rate” or “rate of dissociation” or “dissociation rate” or “koff,” can also be determined with the same SPR or BLI techniques described above using, for example, the OctetQK384 system (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA) or a BIACORE™-2000 or a BIACORE™- 3000 (BIACORE™, Inc., Piscataway, NJ), respectively.
[0047] The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, including, for example, native sequence Fc regions, recombinant Fc regions, and variant Fc regions. Although the boundaries of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain might vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is often defined to stretch from an amino acid residue at position Cys226 (according to the EU numbering system), or from Pro230 (according to the EU numbering system), to the carboxyl-terminus thereof. The C-terminal lysine (residue 447 according to the EU numbering system) of the Fc region may be removed, for example, during production or purification of the antibody, or by recombinantly engineering the nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain of the antibody.
[0048] As used herein, the term “heavy chain” when used in reference to an antibody refers to a polypeptide chain of about 50-70 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 120 to 130 or more amino acids, and a carboxy-terminal portion includes one or more constant regions. The “heavy chain” can refer to any distinct types, e.g., for example, alpha (a), delta (6), epsilon (e), gamma (y) and mu (p), based on the aminoacid sequence of the constant domain, which give rise to IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM classes of antibodies, respectively, including subclasses of IgG, e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4.
[0049] As used herein, the term “light chain” when used in reference to an antibody can refer to a polypeptide chain of about 25 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of about 100 to about 110 or more amino acids, and a carboxy -terminal portion includes a constant region. The approximate length of a light chain is 211 to 217 amino acids. There are two distinct types, e.g, kappa (K) or lambda (X) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domains. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art.
[0050] The terms “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” “antigen-binding region,” “antigen-binding part,” and similar terms refer to that portion of an antibody, which comprises the amino acid residues that interact with an antigen and confer on the binding fragment, domain, region, or part its specificity and affinity for the antigen (e.g, the CDRs). “Antigen-binding fragment” as used herein includes “antibody fragment,” which comprises a portion of an antibody including one or more CDRs, such as the antigen-binding or variable region of the antibody.
[0051] A universal numbering system has been developed and widely adopted, ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT®) Information System (Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27(l):55-77 (2003)). IMGT is an integrated information system specializing in immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of human and other vertebrates. Herein, the CDRs are referred to in terms of both the amino acid sequence and the location within the light or heavy chain. As the “location” of the CDRs within the structure of the immunoglobulin variable domain is conserved between species and present in structures called loops, by using numbering systems that align variable domain sequences according to structural features, CDR and framework residues and are readily identified. This information can be used in grafting and replacement of CDR residues from immunoglobulins of one species into an acceptor framework from, typically, a human antibody. An additional numbering system (AHon) has been developed by Honegger and Pluckthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309: 657-670 (2001). Correspondence between the numbering system, including, for example, the Kabat numbering and the IMGT unique numbering system, is well known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g., Kabat, supra,' Chothia and Lesk, supra,- Martin, supra,- Lefranc et al., supra) and is also illustrated below. Various systems known in the art or described herein represent different ways of delineating CDRs, and when they are used to define the same antibody, they are often considered equivalent. AnExemplary system, shown herein, combines Kabat and Chothia. The residues from each of these hypervariable regions or CDRs are exemplified in Table 1 below.Table 1: Exemplary CDRs according to various numbering systems
[0052] Hypervariable regions may comprise “extended hypervariable regions” as follows: 24-36 or 24-34 (LI), 46-56 or 50-56 (L2) and 89-97 or 89-96 (L3) in the VL and 26-35 or 26- 35A (Hl), 50-65 or 49-65 (H2) and 93-102, 94-102, or 95-102 (H3) in the VH. As used herein, the terms “hypervariable region,” “HVR,” “HV,” “complementarity determining region,” or “CDR” are used interchangeably.
[0053] As used herein “multiple myeloma” refers to hematological conditions characterized by malignant plasma cells and includes the following disorders: monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS); relapsed, refractory or resistant multiple myeloma; low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk multiple myeloma; newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (including low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma); transplant eligible and transplant ineligible multiple myeloma; smoldering (indolent) multiple myeloma (including low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk smouldering multiple myeloma); active multiple myeloma; solitary plasmacytoma; extramedullary plasmacytoma; plasma cell leukemia; central nervous system multiple myeloma; light chain myeloma; non- secretory myeloma; Immunoglobulin D myeloma; and Immunoglobulin E myeloma; and multiple myeloma characterized by genetic abnormalities, such as Cyclin D translocations (for example, t(l I;14)(ql3;q32); t(6;14)(p21;32); t(12;14)(p!3;q32); or t(6;20);); MMSET translocations (for example, t(4;14)(p!6;q32)); MAF translocations (for example, t(14;16)(q32;q32); t(20;22); t(16; 22)(ql l;ql3); or t(14;20)(q32;qll)); or other chromosome factors (for example, deletion of 17pl 3, or chromosome 13; del(l 7 / 17p), nonhyperdiploidy, and gain(lq)).
[0054] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “subject” or “patient” refers to an animal, including, but not limited to, a mammal, including a primate (e.g, human), cow, sheep, goat, horse, dog, cat, rabbit, rat, or mouse. The terms “subject” and“patient” are used interchangeably herein in reference, for example, to a mammalian subject, such as a human subject.
[0055] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” refer to the eradication or amelioration of a disease or disorder, or of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or disorder. In certain embodiments, the terms refer to minimizing the spread or worsening of the disease or disorder resulting from the administration of one or more prophylactic or therapeutic agents to a patient with such a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, the terms refer to the administration of the compounds provided herein, with or without other additional active agent, after the onset of symptoms of the particular disease.
[0056] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “prevent,” “preventing” and “prevention” refer to the prevention of the onset, recurrence or spread of a disease or disorder, or of one or more symptoms thereof. In certain embodiments, the terms refer to the treatment with or administration of the compounds provided herein, with or without other additional active compound, prior to the onset of symptoms, particularly to patients at risk of diseases or disorders provided herein. The terms encompass the inhibition or reduction of a symptom of the particular disease. Patients with familial history of a disease in particular are candidates for preventive regimens in certain embodiments. In addition, patients who have a history of recurring symptoms are also potential candidates for the prevention. In this regard, the term “prevention” may be interchangeably used with the term “prophylactic treatment.”
[0057] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “manage,” “managing” and “management” refer to preventing or slowing the progression, spread or worsening of a disease or disorder, or of one or more symptoms thereof. Often, the beneficial effects that a patient derives from a prophylactic and / or therapeutic agent do not result in a cure of the disease or disorder. In this regard, the term “managing” encompasses treating a patient who had suffered from the particular disease in an attempt to prevent or minimize the recurrence of the disease, or lengthening the time during which the disease remains in remission.
[0058] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound or an antibody is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment or management of a disease or disorder, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease or disorder. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound or an antibody means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment or management of the disease or disorder. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass anamount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or disorder, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
[0059] Combination therapy or “in combination with” refer to the use of more than one therapeutic agent to treat a particular disorder or condition. By “in combination with,” it is not intended to imply that the therapeutic agents must be administered at the same time and / or formulated for delivery together, although these methods of delivery are within the scope of this disclosure. A therapeutic agent can be administered concurrently with, prior to (e.g, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, or 16 weeks before), or subsequent to (e.g, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, or 16 weeks after), one or more other additional agents. The therapeutic agents in a combination therapy can also be administered on an alternating dosing schedule, with or without a resting period (e.g, no therapeutic agent is administered on certain days of the schedule). The administration of a therapeutic agent “in combination with” another therapeutic agent includes, but is not limited to, sequential administration and concomitant administration of the two agents. In general, each therapeutic agent is administered at a dose and / or on a time schedule determined for that particular agent.

[0062] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “relapsed” refers to the return of a disease after a period of improvement. In certain embodiments, the term “relapsed” refers to a situation where a subject or a mammal, which has had a remission of cancer after therapy has a return of cancer cells. As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “refractory” or “resistant” refers to a disease or condition that does not respond to treatment. In certain embodiments, the term “refractory” or “resistant” refers to a circumstance where a subject or a mammal, even after intensive treatment, has residual cancer cells in his body.
[0063] As used herein, “induction therapy” refers to the first treatment given for a disease, or the first treatment given with the intent of inducing complete remission in a disease, such as cancer. When used by itself, induction therapy is the one accepted as the best available treatment. If residual cancer is detected, patients are treated with another therapy, termed reinduction. If the patient is in complete remission after induction therapy, then additional consolidation and / or maintenance therapy is given to prolong remission or to potentially cure the patient.
[0064] As used herein, “consolidation therapy” refers to the treatment given for a disease after remission is first achieved. For example, consolidation therapy for cancer is the treatment given after the cancer has disappeared after initial therapy. Consolidation therapy may include radiation therapy, stem cell transplant, or treatment with cancer drug therapy. Consolidation therapy is also referred to as intensification therapy and post-remission therapy.
[0065] As used herein, “maintenance therapy” refers to the treatment given for a disease after remission or best response is achieved, in order to prevent or delay relapse. Maintenance therapy can include chemotherapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy.

The term “treatment” contemplates both a completeand a partial response.
[0071] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “drug resistance” refers to the condition when a disease does not respond to the treatment of a drug or drugs. Drug resistance can be either intrinsic, which means the disease has never been responsive to the drug or drugs, or it can be acquired, which means the disease ceases responding to a drug or drugs that the disease had previously responded to. In certain embodiments, drug resistance is intrinsic. In certain embodiments, the drug resistance is acquired.
[0072] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “sensitivity” and “sensitive” when made in reference to treatment with compound is a relative term which refers to the degree of effectiveness of the compound in lessening or decreasing the progress of a tumor or the disease being treated.

[0175] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir, preferably by oral administration or administration by injection. Oral delivery formats include, but are not limited to, tablets, capsules, caplets, solutions, suspensions, and syrups, and may also comprise a plurality of granules, beads, powders or pellets that may or may not be encapsulated. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain any conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants or vehicles. In some cases, the pH of theformulation may be adjusted with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, bases or buffers to enhance the stability of the formulated compound or its delivery form. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, intraarterial, intrasynovial, intrastemal, intrathecal, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein that comprise the bispecific antibody are administered parentally, and in some embodiments, subcutaneously.
[0176] In certain embodiments, dosage forms provided herein for Compound A, A-S, or A- R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers, a tautomer, an isotopolog, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof, are suitable for oral, mucosal (e.g., nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, bolus injection, intramuscular, or intraarterial), topical (e.g., eye drops or other ophthalmic preparations), transdermal, or transcutaneous administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as soft elastic gelatin capsules; cachets; troches; lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; powders; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; eye drops or other ophthalmic preparations suitable for topical administration; and sterile solids (e.g., crystalline or amorphous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient.
[0177] In certain embodiments, dosage forms provided herein for the bispecific antibody, are suitable for oral, mucosal (e.g., nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, bolus injection, intramuscular, or intraarterial), topical (e.g., eye drops or other ophthalmic preparations), transdermal, or transcutaneous administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as soft elastic gelatin capsules; cachets; troches; lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; powders; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient. In some embodiments, the dosage form for the bispecific antibody is for parental administration, and in some embodiments, subcutaneous administration. In one embodiment, the bispecificantibody is formulated as described in the package insert for ELREXFIO™ (a bispecific BCMA-directed CD3 T-cell engager sold under the trademark of ELREXFIO).
[0178] Whether a particular excipient is suitable for incorporation into a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form provided herein depends on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the route of administration. For example, oral dosage forms such as tablets may contain excipients not suited for use in parenteral dosage forms. The suitability of a particular excipient may also depend on the specific active ingredients in the dosage form. For example, the decomposition of some active ingredients may be accelerated by some excipients such as lactose, or when exposed to water. Active ingredients that comprise primary or secondary amines are particularly susceptible to such accelerated decomposition. Consequently, encompassed herein are pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that contain little, if any, lactose. As used herein, the term “lactose-free” means that the amount of lactose present, if any, is insufficient to substantially increase the degradation rate of an active ingredient.
[0179] Lactose-free compositions provided herein can comprise excipients that are listed, for example, in the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) 25-NF20 (2002). In certain embodiments, lactose-free compositions comprise active ingredients, a binder / filler, and a lubricant in pharmaceutically compatible and pharmaceutically acceptable amounts. In certain embodiments, lactose-free dosage forms comprise active ingredients, microcrystalline cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate.
[0180] Further encompassed herein are anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising active ingredients, since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, the addition of water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted in the pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. See, e.g., Jens T. Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles & Practice, 2d. Ed., Marcel Dekker, NY, NY, 1995, pp. 379-80. In effect, water and heat accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Thus, the effect of water on a formulation can be of great significance since moisture and / or humidity are commonly encountered during manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, shipment, and use of formulations.
[0181] Anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise lactose and at least one active ingredient that comprises a primary or secondary amine are preferablyanhydrous if substantial contact with moisture and / or humidity during manufacturing, packaging, and / or storage is expected.
[0182] An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition should be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, provided herein are anhydrous compositions packaged using materials to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials), blister packs, and strip packs.
[0183] Encompassed herein are pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise one or more compounds that reduce the rate by which an active ingredient will decompose. Such compounds, which are referred to herein as “stabilizers,” include, but are not limited to, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, pH buffers, or salt buffers.Oral dosage forms
[0184] In certain embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions provided herein that are suitable for oral administration are formulated as discrete dosage forms, examples of which include, but are not limited to, tablets (e.g., chewable tablets), caplets, capsules, and liquids (e.g., flavored syrups). Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients and may be prepared by some known methods of pharmacy. See generally, Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990).
[0185] In certain embodiments, the oral dosage forms provided herein are prepared by combining the active ingredients in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. For example, excipients suitable for use in oral liquid or aerosol dosage forms include, but are not limited to, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, and coloring agents. Examples of excipients suitable for use in solid oral dosage forms (e.g., powders, tablets, capsules, and caplets) include, but are not limited to, starches, sugars, micro-crystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents.
[0186] Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit forms, in which case solid excipients are employed. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Such dosage forms may be prepared by some known methods of pharmacy. In certain embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimatelyadmixing the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary.
[0187] In certain embodiments, a tablet is prepared by compression or molding. In certain embodiments, compressed tablets are be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredients in a free-flowing form, e.g., powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient. In certain embodiments, molded tablets are made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of a powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.
[0188] Examples of excipients that can be used in oral dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, binders, fillers, disintegrants, and lubricants. Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, com starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered tragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pregelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, (e.g., Nos. 2208, 2906, 2910), microcrystalline cellulose, and mixtures thereof.
[0189] Suitable forms of microcrystalline cellulose include, but are not limited to, AVICEL-PH-101, AVICEL-PH-103 AVICEL RC-581, AVICEL-PH-105 (FMC Corporation, American Viscose Division, Avicel Sales, Marcus Hook, PA), and mixtures thereof. An specific binder is a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (e.g., AVICEL RC-581). Suitable anhydrous or low moisture excipients or additives include AVICEL-PH-103™ and Starch 1500 LM.
[0190] Examples of fillers suitable for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, talc, calcium carbonate (e.g., granules or powder), microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, the binder or filler in pharmaceutical compositions provided herein is present in from about 50 to about 99 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form.
[0191] Disintegrants are used in the compositions provided herein to provide tablets the ability to disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Tablets that contain too much disintegrant may disintegrate in storage, while those that contain too little may not disintegrate at a desired rate or under the desired conditions. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too much nor too little to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredients should be used to form solid oral dosage forms provided herein. Theamount of disintegrant used varies based upon the type of formulation. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein comprise from about 0.5 to about 15 weight percent or from about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant.
[0192] Disintegrants that are suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium, sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, other starches, pre-gelatinized starch, other starches, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums, and mixtures thereof.
[0193] Lubricants that are suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, com oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethyl laureate, agar, and mixtures thereof. Additional lubricants include, but are not limited to, a syloid silica gel (AEROSIL200, W.R. Grace Co., Baltimore, MD), a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica (Degussa Co. of Plano, TX), CAB-O-SIL (a pyrogenic silicon dioxide, Cabot Co. of Boston, MA), and mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, if used at all, lubricants are used in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent of the pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms into which they are incorporated.
[0194] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a solid oral dosage form, comprising Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers, a tautomer, an isotopolog, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof; and one or more excipients selected from anhydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, stearic acid, colloidal anhydrous silica, and gelatin.
[0195] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a solid oral dosage form, comprising Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers, a tautomer, an isotopolog, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof; and anhydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, stearic acid, colloidal anhydrous silica, and gelatin.
[0196] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a solid oral dosage form, comprising a hydrochloride salt of Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers thereof, or a pharmaceutically solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof; and one or more excipients selected from anhydrous lactose,microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, stearic acid, colloidal anhydrous silica, and gelatin.
[0197] In certain embodiments, provided herein is a solid oral dosage form, comprising a hydrochloride salt of Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers thereof, or a pharmaceutically solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof; and anhydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, stearic acid, colloidal anhydrous silica, and gelatin.Delayed release dosage forms
[0198] In certain embodiments, the active ingredients provided herein are administered by controlled release means or by delivery devices. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Patent Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 4,008,719, 5,674,533, 5,059,595, 5,591,767, 5,120,548, 5,073,543, 5,639,476, 5,354,556, and 5,733,566, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In certain embodiments, such dosage forms are be used to provide slow or controlled-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Encompassed herein are single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration, including, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled-release.
[0199] All controlled-release pharmaceutical products have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled counterparts. Ideally, the use of an optimally designed controlled-release preparation in medical treatment is characterized by a minimum of drug substance being employed to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-release formulations include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled-release formulations can be used to affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the drug, and can thus affect the occurrence of side (e.g, adverse) effects.
[0200] Most controlled-release formulations are designed to initially release an amount of drug (active ingredient) that promptly produces the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In order to maintain this constant levelof drug in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of drug being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions including, but not limited to, pH, temperature, enzymes, water, or other physiological conditions or compounds.Parenteral dosage forms
[0201] Parenteral dosage forms can be administered to patients by various routes including, but not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous (including bolus injection), intramuscular, and intraarterial. Because their administration typically bypasses patients’ natural defenses against contaminants, parenteral dosage forms are preferably sterile or capable of being sterilized prior to administration to a patient. Examples of parenteral dosage forms include, but are not limited to, solutions ready for injection, dry products ready to be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle for injection, suspensions ready for injection, and emulsions. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antibody is in 40 mg / mL solution for administration to patients by subcutaneous injection.
[0202] Some suitable vehicles that can be used to provide parenteral dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to: Water for Injection USP; aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer’s Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection, and Lactated Ringer’s Injection; water-miscible vehicles such as, but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; and nonaqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, com oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate. Compounds that increase the solubility of one or more of the active ingredients disclosed herein can also be incorporated into the parenteral dosage forms provided herein.Kits
[0203] In certain embodiments, active ingredients provided herein are not administered to a patient at the same time or by the same route of administration. Therefore, encompassed herein are kits which, when used by the medical practitioner, can simplify the administration of appropriate amounts of active ingredients to a patient. In certain embodiments, a kit provided herein comprises a dosage form of a Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers, a tautomer, an isotopolog, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof. In certain embodiments, the kits provided herein further comprise the bispecific antibody provided herein. In certainembodiments, a kit provided herein comprises a dosage form of a bispecific antibody provided herein. In certain embodiments, the kits provided herein further comprises Compound A, A-S, or A-R, or an enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers, a tautomer, an isotopolog, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, clathrate, or polymorph thereof. In certain embodiments, the kit provided herein further comprises a device that is used to administer the active ingredients. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, syringes, drip bags, patches, and inhalers.
[0204] In certain embodiments, the kit provided herein further comprises cells or blood for transplantation as well as pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles that can be used to administer one or more active ingredients. For example, if an active ingredient is provided in a solid form that must be reconstituted for parenteral administration, the kit can comprise a sealed container of a suitable vehicle in which the active ingredient can be dissolved to form a particulate-free sterile solution that is suitable for parenteral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include, but are not limited to: Water for Injection USP; aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer’s Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection, and Lactated Ringer’s Injection; water-miscible vehicles such as, but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; and non-aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, com oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate.EXAMPLES

Dose Level 3 (DL 3) is evaluated after DL 2 is determined tolerable. Two combination dose levels of elranatamab and iberdomide are selected as RP2D(s) for further evaluation as Dose Level A (DL A) and Dose Level B (DL B) in Part 2.
[0212] Approximately 6 to 9 DLT-evaluable participants are treated at each dose level of the combination therapy. At least 6 DLT-evaluable participants are treated at each of the 2 selected combination dose levels that are further evaluated in Part 2. The actual number of participants to be enrolled depends on the number of dose levels evaluated and the number of participants treated at each dose level. It is estimated that approximately up to 27 DLT- evaluable participants are enrolled and treated in Part 1 dose escalation.
[0213] A staggered enrollment strategy is applied for dose escalation: when a dose level opens for enrollment, the first binding participant is dosed and observed for 24 hours after C1D1 (initiation of the elranatamab plus iberdomide combination). If no safety concerns arise during the 24-hour period from C1D1, subsequent participants are enrolled into the same dose level and combination.
[0214] The target DLT rate is <25% and the dose escalation decisions are guided by a Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (BOIN) approach (Liu S, Yuan Y. Bayesian optimal interval designs for phase I clinical trials. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C: Applied Statistics. 2015:507-23; Yuan L, Gu ZY, Gao CJ. P53-mediated Regulatory Mechanism of Ran Transcription in Multiple Myeloma Cells. Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi. 2016;24(3):760-4.). The isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate from BOINapproach guides the determination of the RP2D(s) of elranatamab plus iberdomide. However, other available evidence such as safety data beyond the DLT window, clinical activity, PK, and PD data is also evaluated in the decision to escalate. Dose escalation decisions and RP2D(s) selections are determined with agreement between the investigators and the sponsor at the dose level review meeting (DLRM).Cl-2. Study Arms and Duration:Treatment Period
[0215] Participants receive elranatamab in combination with iberdomide in 28-day cycles (plus initial 14-day priming dose cycle for elranatamab) as detailed below:• Cycle 0 Day 1 : Elranatamab subcutaneously (SC) 12 mg• Cycle 0 Day 4 : Elranatamab SC 32 mg• Cycle 0 Day 8 : Elranatamab SC 76 mg• Cycle 1 to Cycle 6 : Elranatamab SC 76 mg weekly (QW) plus iberdomide by mouth(PO) at the specified dose (1.0 mg or 1.3 mg or 1.6 mg daily [QD]) depending on the cohort assigned from Day 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle.• Cycle 7 to Cycle 12 : Elranatamab SC 76 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) (if a participant has received treatment for at least 6 months (6 cycles) and disease response shows at least a partial response (PR) or better with responses persisting for at least 2 months) plus iberdomide by mouth (PO) at the specified dose (1.0 mg or 1.3 mg or 1.6 mg daily [QD]) depending on the cohort assigned from Day 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle.• Starting Cycle 13 : Elranatamab subcutaneously (SC) 76 mg every74 weeks (Q4W) (if disease response shows at least a partial response (PR) or better with responses persisting for at least 2 months) plus iberdomide PO at the specified dose (1.0 mg or 1.3 mg or 1.6 mg QD) depending on the cohort assigned from Day 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle.• All participants receive study interventions until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination. The total study duration for each participant is at least 2 years because all participants are followed for a minimum of 2 years. Cl-3. Randomized Dose Optimization Design
[0216] Dose optimization design under Cl is illustrated in FIG. 2. Dose optimization phase begins once the combination RP2D(s) are identified in the dose escalation part (PART 1). Approximately up to 60 participants are randomized to DL A and DL B at a 1 : 1 ratio stratified on the number of prior lines of therapy (1 vs >1).Cl-4. Dose Modification:
[0217] Dose modification can be conducted due to toxicity and efficacy.Table 4: Dose modifications for iberdomide-related toxicity under ClC2. Overall Design 2
[0218] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the design is also composed of 2 parts:Dose escalation (PART 1) evaluates the tolerability and safety of elranatamab in combination with iberdomide to select recommended doses (combination RDEs) for further evaluation in Part 2.Randomized Dose Optimization (PART 2) further evaluates the safety and preliminary’ efficacy of elranatamab in combination with iberdomide at RDEs.C2-1. Dose Escalation Design
[0219] Dose escalation design under C2 is illustrated in FIG. 4. For the dose escalation. Dose Level 1 (DL 1) will be evaluated followed by’ Dose Level 2 (DL 2) if DL 1 is deemed tolerable. If DL 1 (elranatamab weekly [QW]) is not tolerable, Dose Level -1 (DL -1; elranatamab every72 weeks [Q2W]) will be evaluated, followed by DL 2 should DL -1 be deemed tolerable. If DL -1 is not tolerable, Dose Level -2 (DL -2) will be evaluated. Tw o dose l evels of the elranatamab and iberdomide combination will be selected as recommended doses for expansion (RDE) for further evaluation as Dose Level A (DL A) and Dose Level B (DL B) in Part 2 (Dose Optimization, FIG. 4).
[0220] Approximately’ 6 to 9 DLT-evaluable participants are treated at each dose level of the combination therapy. At least 6 DLT-evaluable participants are treated at each of the 2 selected combination dose levels that are further evaluated in Part 2. The actual number of participants to be enrolled depends on the number of dose levels evaluated and the number of participants treated at each dose level. It is estimated that approximately- up to 27 DLT- evaluable participants are enrolled and treated in Part 1 dose escalation.
[0221] A staggered enrollment strategy7is applied for dose escalation at DL1 and DL2: when a dose level opens for enrollment, the first binding participant is dosed and observed for 24hours after C1D1 (initiation of the elranatamab plus iberdomide combination). If no safety concerns arise during the 24-hour period from C1D1, subsequent participants are enrolled into the same dose level and combination. A staggered enrollment strategy may be used forDL -1 and DL -2 (lower elranatamab and / or lower iberdomide doses), depending on the observed safety at DL 1 and DL 2.
[0222] The target DLT rate is <25% and the dose escalation decisions are guided by a Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (BOIN) approach. The isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate from BOIN approach guides the determination of the RDEs of elranatamab plus iberdomide. However, other available evidence such as safety data beyond the DLT window, clinical activity, PK, and PD data is also evaluated in the decision to escalate. Dose escalation decisions and RDEs selections are determined with agreement between the investigators and the sponsor at the dose level review meeting (DLRM).C2-2. Study Arms and Duration
