About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Nivolumab Combined With Daratumumab With or Without Low-dose Cyclophosphamide in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Evaluation of the effect of nivolumab and daratumumab with or without low-dose cyclophosphamide in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

Myeloma patients who develop bortezomib and lenalidomide-resistant disease have a very poor survival of only a median of 9 months, indicating that new agents are urgently needed. Recent studies have shown that daratumumab as a single agent is effective and well tolerated in these heavily pretreated MM patients. However, approximately 60% of patients do not achieve a partial response, and ultimately all patients will develop progressive disease during daratumumab therapy. In less pretreated patients daratumumab-based combinations (daratumumab plus lenalidomide-dexamethasone or daratumumab plus bortezomib-dexamethasone) were very effective and well tolerated. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will combine daratumumab with other agents to improve survival of heavily pretreated MM patients.

The PD-1 blocker nivolumab, as single agent, does not induce objective responses but induces stable disease in approximately 67% of relapsed/refractory MM patients. We have recently shown that daratumumab treatment results in increased T cell frequencies by eliminating CD38-positive immune suppressor cells, which probably contributes to the durable responses observed with daratumumab.

Cyclophosphamide, at a dose substantially lower than the maximum tolerated dose, has next to its direct anti-tumor activity serveral other effects including anti-angiogenic effects, induction of changes in the micro-environment, and also improvement of the anti-tumor immune response.

In this study, the investigators will combine two or three immune modulating agents with different mechanisms of action in order to improve the outcome of relapsed/refractory MM patients.

The investigators will evaluate in Part A, nivolumab combined with daratumumab with or without low-dose cyclophosphamide (total 40 patients). Based on efficacy and tolerability, the investigators will treat in Part B 20 additional patients with nivolumab combined with daratumumab either with or without low-dose cyclophosphamide based on tolerability and efficacy data obtained in Part A.

What is being measured

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

  1. overall response rate

    the best response obtained during treatment

    Measured: active treatment period up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. incidence of treatment emergent adverse events

    type, frequency and severity of adverse events

    Measured: active treatment period up to 5 years

  2. progression-free survival

    time from registration to progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first)

    Measured: up to 5 years

  3. overall survival

    measured until death from any cause. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive

    Measured: up to 5 years

  4. tumor expression profile as prognostic factor for response/survival

    tumor expresssion profile by flow-cytometric detection

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nivolumab-daratumumab and nivolumab-daratumumab with low-dose cyclophosphamide in people with Myeloma, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 9 sites in Netherlands.

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 12 inclusion and 28 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 22 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Netherlands. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

overall response rate (time frame: active treatment period up to 5 years). 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 NCT03184194, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2024.
