CM336 Plus Daratumumab and Lenalidomide in Transplant-Ineligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
Condition(s) studied
Multiple Myeloma
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
CM336 (BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibody)DaratumumabLenalidomide
CM336 (BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibody): CM336 is administered subcutaneously (SC) using a step-up dosing regimen of 3 mg on Day 1, 20 mg on Day 4, 80 mg on Day 7, and 160 mg on Day 10. The first administration of the target dose is considered Cycle 1 Day 1 of the target-dose phase. During Cycle 1, CM336 160 mg is administered once weekly. From Cycle 2 through Cycle 18, CM336 160 mg is administered every 4 weeks.
Daratumumab: Daratumumab is administered subcutaneously at a dose of 1800 mg in 28-day treatment cycles. One dose is administered on Day 0 before initiation of the CM336 step-up dosing regimen. During the CM336 target-dose treatment phase, daratumumab is administered once weekly during Cycles 1-2, every 2 weeks during Cycles 3-6, and every 4 weeks during Cycles 7-18.
Lenalidomide: Lenalidomide is administered orally at 25 mg once daily on Days 1-21 of each 28-day treatment cycle during Cycles 1-18. The starting dose may be adjusted for participants with renal impairment, frailty, or advanced age based on creatinine clearance and investigator judgment.
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether CM336, a BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibody, in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide can induce deep and durable responses in adults with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The study will also evaluate the safety of this treatment combination.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How many participants achieve minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after 6 treatment cycles?
* What side effects occur during treatment with CM336 combined with daratumumab and lenalidomide?
* How many participants respond to treatment and how deep are these responses?
* How long does MRD negativity and treatment response last?
* How long do participants remain free from disease progression?
All participants will receive the study treatment. There is no comparison group in this study.
Participants will:
* Receive CM336 by subcutaneous injection together with subcutaneous daratumumab and oral lenalidomide in 28-day treatment cycles.
* Undergo regular blood tests, bone marrow examinations, MRD assessments, and disease assessments to monitor treatment response and safety.
* Be monitored throughout the study for treatment-related adverse events.

9. Participants receiving hematopoietic growth factor support, including erythropoietin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), or thrombopoietic agents (e.g., eltrombopag, thrombopoietin, or interleukin-11), must have an interval of at least 2 weeks between the last administration of growth factor support and screening assessment.
10. Participants receiving blood product transfusions must meet the following requirements:
* At least 2 weeks between the last red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and hemoglobin assessment at screening;
* At least 1 week between the last platelet transfusion and platelet assessment at screening.
11. Able and willing to receive protocol-recommended prophylactic anticoagulation therapy.
12. Female participants of childbearing potential must:
* Have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening; and
* Agree to use effective contraception from the date of signing informed consent throughout study treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment.
