About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2 Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TAK-981 in Combination With Monoclonal Antibodies in Adult Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

TAK-981 is being tested in combination with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to treat participants who have relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

The main aims of the study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAK-981 in combination with anti-CD38 (mAbs) and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

Participants will be on this combination treatment for 28-day cycles. They will continue with this treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-981. TAK-981 in combination with an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAbs) is being tested to treat people who have RRMM. The study will include a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.

The study will enroll approximately 81 participants; approximately 30 participants in the dose escalation phase (Part 1) approximately 15 participants in (Part 2) and up to 36 participants in dose expansion phase (Part 2). Participants will receive escalating doses of TAK-981 in combination with fixed doses as follows:

  • Phase 1b, Part 1 - Dose Escalation: Arm A - TAK-981 Twice Weekly (BIW) + Mezagitamab
  • Phase 1b, Part 1 - Dose Escalation: Arm B - TAK-981 Weekly (QW) + Mezagitamab
  • Phase 1b, Part 2 - Dose Escalation: TAK-981 + Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj

Once RP2D is determined in Phase 1, participants with RRMM will be enrolled in Phase 2.

  • Phase 2 - Dose Expansion: TAK-981 + Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj or Mezagitamab

This multi-center trial will be conducted in North America. The overall time to participate in this study is 2 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and progression-free survival follow-up for maximum up to 12 months after last dose of study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1b, Part 1: Number of Participants With One or More Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    TEAEs were adverse events (AEs) that occurred after administration of the first dose of any study drug and through 30 days after the last dose of any study drug. Adverse event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product.

Where Grade 3 was severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living (ADL), Grade 4 was 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. and Grade 5 was death related to AE. TEAEs were AEs that occurred after administration of the first dose of any study drug and through 30 days after the last dose of any study drug.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 13 months)

  23. Phase 2: TTP Based on IMWG Criteria

    TTP: time from date of first dose to date of first documentation of PD as defined by standard disease criteria. PD was defined as increase of >25% from lowest response value in any one or more of following: a) Serum M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be >0.5 grams per deciliter [g/dL]). b) Urine M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be >200 mg/24 h). c) Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels; the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The absolute increase must be >10 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). d) Bone marrow plasma cell percentage; the absolute percentage must be >10%. e) Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas. f) Development of hypercalcaemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dL or 2.65 mmol/L) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  24. Phase 2: Time to Next Treatment (TTNT)

    TTNT was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first dose initiation of the next line of antineoplastic therapy, for any reason.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  25. Phase 2: PFS Based on IMWG Criteria

    PFS was defined as time from the date of the first dose administration to the date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as increase of >25% from lowest response value in any one or more of the following: a) Serum M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be >0.5 g/dL). b) Urine M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be >200 mg/24h). c) Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels; the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The absolute increase must be >10 mg/dL. d) Bone marrow plasma cell percentage; the absolute percentage must be >10%. e) Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas. f) Development of hypercalcaemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dL or 2.65 mmol/L) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  26. Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of death.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  27. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With MRD Negative Status as Determined by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  28. Phase 2: Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Negative Rate

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  29. Phase 2: Durable MRD Negative Rate

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TAK-981, Mezagitamab and Daratumumab and Hyaluronidase-fihj in people with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM), run by Takeda at 13 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 9 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Canada. 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Oct 2024). 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?

Phase 1b, Part 1: Number of Participants With One or More Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From the first dose of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 13 months)). The study lists 4 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 NCT04776018, 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 2 Oct 2024.
