What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Adverse events, including DLTs, were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. A DLT was considered as any of the below, if judged by the investigator to be possibly related to AMG 224:

    Hematological:

    • Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days
    • Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever > 38.5°C
    • Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with ≥ Grade 2 hemorrhage
    • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting > 7 days
    • Grade 3 anemia with symptoms or required intervention
    • Grade 4 anemia
    • Lymphopenia is not considered a DLT

    Non-hematological:

    • ≥ Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea persisting > 3 days despite optimal medical support
    • Grade 3 fatigue persisting > 7 days
    • ≥ Grade 3 acute kidney injury lasting > 3 days
    • Elevation of aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >3x to >8x upper limit of normal (ULT) dependent on criteria
    • Total bilirubin > 3x ULN

    Participants meeting the criteria for Hy's Law case were considered to have a DLT.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 28

  2. Number of Participants With a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant.

    TEAEs were any AE that occurred after receiving at least 1 dose of treatment.

    Treatment-related TEAEs were those considered related to study treatment by the investigator.

    Any clinically significant changes in ECGs, vital signs, physical examination with a neurologic assessment and clinical laboratory tests were recorded as TEAEs.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 to up to the end of Cycle 4, where each cycle is 3 weeks; up to 12 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of AMG 224 Conjugated Antibody, Total Anti-B-cell Maturation Antigen (Anti-BCMA) Antibody, and Total Unconjugated DM1

  3. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of AMG 224 Conjugated Antibody, Total Anti-BCMA Antibody, and Total Unconjugated DM1

    AUC from time zero to 3 weeks (AUC(3 weeks)) was determined for AMG 224 conjugated antibody and total anti-BCMA antibody, and AUC from time zero to 96 hours (AUC(0-96hr)) was determined for DM1.

    Measured: AMG 224 and anti-BCMA antibody: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, 96 hours, 168 hours, and 336 hours post-dose (Cycle 1 + 2); DM1: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 96 hours post-dose (Cycles 1 + 2)

  4. Clearance (CL) of AMG 224 Conjugated Antibody, Total Anti-BCMA Antibody, and Total Unconjugated DM1

    CL of AMG 224 conjugated antibody, total anti-BCMA antibody and total unconjugated DM1 was determined.

    Measured: AMG 224 and anti-BCMA antibody: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, 96 hours, 168 hours, and 336 hours post-dose (Cycles 1 + 2); DM1: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 96 hours post-dose (Cycles 1 + 2)

  5. Terminal Half-life (t1/2,z) of AMG 224 Conjugated Antibody, Total Anti-BCMA Antibody, and Total Unconjugated DM1

    The t1/2,z of AMG 224 conjugated antibody, total anti-BCMA antibody and total unconjugated DM1 was measured.

    Measured: AMG 224 and anti-BCMA antibody: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, 96 hours, 168 hours, and 336 hours post-dose (Cycles 1 + 2); DM1: pre-dose, 0.5 hours, EOI, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 96 hours post-dose (Cycles 1 + 2)

  6. Best Overall Response (BOR) According to International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC)

    BOR was the best observed post baseline disease response per IMWG-URC: Complete response (CR): Negative immunofixation on serum and urine, soft tissue plasmacytomas disappearance, < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow (BM). Stringent CR (sCR): CR and normal serum free light chain ratio and no clonal cells in BM. Very Good Partial Response (VGPR): Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein (urine M-protein level < 100 mg/24-h). PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and 24-h urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg/24-h. Minor Response (MR): 25-49% reduction of serum M-protein and 50-89% in 24-h urinary M-protein, exceeding 200 mg/24-h. Stable Disease (SD): Not meeting criteria for CR, VGPR, PR or Progressive Disease (PD). PD: ≥ 25% increase in serum or urine M-component, development of new or increased size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas, hypercalcemia attributed to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 to up to the end of study visit; up to approximately 6 years

  7. Time To Progression (TTP) According to IMWG-URC

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 to up to the end of study visit; up to approximately 6 years

  8. Duration of Response (DOR) According to IMWG-URC

    DOR was defined as the time between the date of the first observation indicating an objective response as PR (or better) through to the subsequent date of disease progression as classified by the IMWG-URC for Multiple Myeloma or death or where applicable date of censoring. The median DOR was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 to up to the end of study visit; up to approximately 6 years

  9. Number of Participants With Conversion to Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-Negativity

    MRD negative was defined as a tumor load of less than 1 clonal cell in 10^5 normal cells (as determined by flow cytometry).

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1 to up to the end of study visit; up to approximately 6 years

  10. Number of Participants With Anti-AMG 224 Antibodies

    The number of participants who tested positive for pre-existing binding antibodies prior to exposure to AMG 224 and who tested positive for anti-AMG 224 binding antibodies after dosing with AMG 224 are presented. Participants with transient post-baseline results were binding antibody positive post-baseline with a negative or no result at baseline and a negative result at the participant's last timepoint tested.

A Phase 1 study testing AMG 224 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Amgen at 5 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 28). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02561962, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
