About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Open-Label, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Single Agent Belantamab Mafodotin Compared to Pomalidomide Plus Lowdose Dexamethasone (Pom/Dex) in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) (DREAMM 3)

This open-label, randomized study for evaluating the efficacy and safety of single agent belantamab mafodotin when compared to pom/dex in participants with RRMM. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either single agent belantamab mafodotin or pom/dex. Belantamab mafodotin will be administered on Day 1 (D1) at every 3 weeks (Q3W) schedule. Pomalidomide will be administered daily on Days 1 to 21 of each 28-day cycle, with dexamethasone administered once weekly (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22). Participants in both arms will be treated until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, and lost to follow-up or end of study, whichever comes first.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on Investigator-Assessed Response as Per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG)

    PFS is time from randomization until earliest date of progressive disease (PD), or death due to any cause per investigator-assessed response per IMWG. PD is ≥25% increase from nadir in any of following: serum M-protein (absolute increase ≥0.5 gram per deciliter [g/dL]),urine M-protein(absolute increase ≥200 mg/24hr),difference between involved/uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase >10 mg/dL) in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, or bone marrow plasma-cell percentage irrespective of baseline status (absolute increase ≥10%) in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels and without measurable involved FLC levels; appearance of new lesion,≥50% increase in longest diameter of a lesion previously measured >1cm in short axis, or ≥50% increase from nadir in sum of products of two longest perpendicular diameters of more than 1 lesion; ≥50% increase in circulating plasma cells (minimum of 200 cells/microliter) if this is only measure of disease.

    Measured: Up to 27 months

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Overall Response Rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed partial response (PR) or better (i.e., PR, very good partial response [VGPR], complete response [CR] and stringent complete response [sCR]), according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Response Criteria. PR: ≥50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour (h) urinary M-protein by ≥90% or to <200 mg/24-h; VGPR: serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis OR ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-component plus urine M-component <100 mg/24-h; CR:negative immunofixation of serum and urine AND disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas AND <5% plasmacytomas in the bone marrow; sCR:stringent complete response, CR as above PLUS normal serum free light-chain (FLC) assay ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  3. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    Clinical benefit rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed minimal response (MR) or better according to the IMWG Response Criteria. MR is >= 25% but < 49% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by 50-89%.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  4. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented evidence of PR or better, to the time when disease progression (PD) is documented per IMWG response criteria; or death due to PD occurs among participants who achieve an overall response, i.e. confirmed PR or better. PD= Increase of 25% from lowest confirmed response value in 1 or more of the following criteria: Serum M-protein with absolute increase of >= 0.5 g/dL; Serum M-protein increase >= 1 g/dL if the lowest M-component was >=5 g/dL; Urinary M-protein (absolute increase must be >= 200 mg per 24 h). PR = ≥50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to <200 mg/24 h.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  5. Time to Response (TTR)

    TTR is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first documented evidence of response (PR or better) among participants who achieve confirmed PR or better. PR: >=50% reduction of serum M-protein \& reduction in 24h urinary M-protein by >=90%/<200mg/24 h.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  6. Time to Progression (TTP)

    TTP is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the earliest date of documented PD (per IMWG Response Criteria) or death due to PD. PD: increase of >=25% from lowest confirmed value in any 1 of following criteria: serum M-protein (absolute increase must be >=0.5 g/dL), serum M-protein increase >=1g/dL if lowest M component was >=5g/dL; urine M-component (absolute increase must be >=200mg/24 hour),appearance of new lesion(s), >=50% increase from nadir in Sum of the Products of the maximal perpendicular Diameters of measured lesions (SPD) of >1 lesion, or >=50% increase in the longest diameter of previous lesion >1 cm in short axis.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. TEAE is an event that emerged during treatment having been absent pre-treatment or worsened relative to the pre-treatment state. AEs were to be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding system.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  12. Number of Participants With Shift in Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio From Baseline to Worst Post-Baseline

    Urine samples were analyzed for spot urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR)[milligrams/grams (mg/g)]. Baseline is defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. The "worst post-baseline value" is defined as the highest UACR measurement recorded for a participant after the baseline assessment and up to the end of the study observation period. The "shift" will be calculated as the difference between this worst post-baseline UACR value and the baseline UACR value (Worst Post-Baseline UACR - Baseline UACR). Each category is reported as "Baseline category, Worst post-baseline category." Ranges are inclusive and expressed as [lower-upper].

  13. Number of Participants With Maximum Worst-case Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity Test (BCVA) Scores

    BCVA score was assessed individually for each eye. BCVA score was calculated based on the Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (logMAR score). Any worst-case change from baseline categories are presented for right and left eyes. BCVA test scores were categorized as no change/improved vision, possible worsened vision and definite worsened vision. No change/improved vision was defined as a change from baseline <0.12 logMAR score; a possible worsened vision was defined as a change from baseline >=0.12 to <0.3 logMAR score; a definite worsened vision was defined as a change from baseline >=0.3 logMAR score. Baseline (Day 1) was defined as latest pre-dose assessment with non-missing value, including unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.

  19. Number of Participants With Symptomatic Adverse Effects as Measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE)

    PRO-CTCAE is a patient-reported outcome measure developed to evaluate symptomatic toxicity in participants on cancer clinical trials. The PRO-CTCAE includes an item library of 124 items representing 78 symptomatic toxicities drawn from the CTCAE. It includes symptomatic toxicities drawn from the CTCAE like blurred vision, chills, constipation, decreased appetite, fatigue, general pain, mouth/throat sores, nausea, nosebleed, shortness of breath, vomiting, watery eyes, cough, itchy, loose/watery stools, Numb/Tingling Hands/Feet (N/T H/F), Pain/Burning (P/B) and Problems Tasting Food/Drink (Prob Tasting F/D) . Items are scored individually on a 0 to 4 scale for severity, frequency and interference. A score of 0 indicates no symptom or interference, while higher score of 4 signify increasing severity, frequency, and interference with daily activities.

    Measured: Up to approximately 263 weeks

  20. Change From Baseline (CFB) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Total Score

    OSDI is 12-item patient-reported outcomes questionnaire designed to provide rapid assessment of range of ocular surface symptoms, including symptoms related to chronic dry eye, severity, and impact on patient's ability to function. In addition to an overall score, there are three subscales of OSDI: ocular symptoms, vision-related function, and environmental triggers. OSDI items are scored on a 0 to 4 Likert-type scale, where 0 = None of the time and 4 = All of the time. Total OSDI score = ([sum of scores for all questions answered×100]/[total number of questions answered×4]). Subscale scores are computed similarly with only questions from each subscale used to generate its own score. Any subscales analyzed separately would also have a maximum possible score of 100. A score of 100=to complete disability, while a score of 0=to no disability. Decrease in score from baseline means improvement

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Up to approximately 263 weeks

  21. Change From Baseline (CFB) in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire 30-item Core Module (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score.

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 includes 30-items with single and multi-item scales. These included five functional scales (physical functioning [PF], role functioning [RF], emotional functioning [EF] cognitive functioning [CF] and social functioning [SF]), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting [N/V] and pain), a global health status (GHS)/ Quality-of-Life (QoL) scale, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss [AL], constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties [FD]). Response options are 1 to 4. Scores were averaged and transformed to 0 to 100, a high score for functional scales/ GHS/QoL represent better functioning ability or health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), whereas a high score for symptom scales/ single items represent significant symptomatology. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), every three weeks(Q3W) starting from week 4 until week 238, End of Treatment (~242 weeks) and Follow up (~ 263 weeks)

  22. Change From Baseline (CFB) in EORTC QLQ 20-item Multiple Myeloma Module (MY20) Score

    The EORTC QLQ-MY20 is a supplement to the QLQ-C30 instrument used in participants with multiple myeloma. The module comprised of 20 questions that addressed four myeloma-specific HRQoL domains: disease symptoms (DS), side effects of treatment (SET), future perspective (FP) and body image (BI). Responses are 1 to 4. Scores were averaged and scales were transformed to 0 to 100 scale. A high score for disease symptoms and side effects of treatment represented a high level of symptomatology or problems, whereas a high score for future perspective and body image represented better outcomes. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), every three weeks(Q3W) starting from week 4 until week 238, End of Treatment (~242 weeks) and Follow up (~263 weeks)

  23. Change From Baseline (CFB) in EORTC IL52 Score

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Item Library 52 (EORTC-QLQ-IL52) is disease symptoms domain from EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire 20-item Multiple Myeloma module) (EORTC QLQ-MY20). Disease symptoms domain of IL52 contain 6 items covering following concepts: bone aches or pain, back pain, hip pain, arm or shoulder pain, chest pain, and pain increasing with activity. IL52 items are scored on 1 to 4 Likert-type scale, where 1 = Not at all, 2 = A little, 3 = Quite a bit, and 4 = Very much. A raw score is then calculated as mean of completed item responses across 6 disease symptom items. For symptom scales, this raw score is linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale using the formula: [(raw score - 1) / 3] × 100. Under this approach, a score of 0 indicates no symptoms across items, while a score of 100 indicates the highest level of symptom burden. Accordingly, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden or worse disease symptoms

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1), every three weeks(Q3W) starting from week 4 until week 238

  24. Number of Participants With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Rate
