7516 Background: With the growing use of anti-CD38 therapies in early multiple myeloma (MM) management, there is a need for data in patients previously exposed to anti-CD38 therapy to guide decision making. In the Phase 3 IRAKLIA trial (NCT05405166), patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) received the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody isatuximab (Isa) subcutaneously (SC) delivered via an innovative on-body injector (OBI) or intravenously (IV), with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pd). In this post hoc analysis, we examined outcomes in IRAKLIA patients with vs without prior anti-CD38 exposure. Methods: RRMM patients ≥18 years with ≥1 prior line of therapy including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor were randomized to receive Isa SC (n=263) or IV (n=268) weekly in Cycle 1, then every 2 weeks, with Pd. Patients with prior anti-CD38 exposure <9 months (mos) before randomization or intolerance to anti-CD38 were excluded. Refractory patients were defined as those who failed to achieve minimal response on treatment or had progression within 60 days after last dose. Patients receiving Isa SC or IV were pooled. Results: Overall, 67 patients (12.6%) had prior anti-CD38 exposure with a median washout period of 20.2 mos, of which 26 (38.8%) were anti-CD38 refractory. Baseline characteristics were largely consistent between patients with or without prior anti-CD38 exposure; the median follow-up for the overall population was 12 mos. Patients with prior anti-CD38 exposure had an overall response rate (ORR) of 52.2%, 12-mo progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 40.6%, and median PFS of 8.5 mos. In patients without prior exposure, an ORR of 73.5%, 12-mo PFS of 68.8%, and non-estimable (NE) median PFS were reported. Anti-CD38 non-refractory vs refractory patients had an ORR of 48.8% vs 57.7%, 12-mo PFS of 38.9% vs 42.2%, and median PFS of 9.0 vs 7.5 mos. Patients with a longer washout period (>median of 20.2 mos) had an ORR of 63.6%, 12-mo PFS of 61.8% and NE median PFS, whereas patients whose prior anti-CD38 therapy ended more recently (≤median of 20.2 mos) had an ORR of 41.2%, 12-mo PFS of 19.2%, and median PFS of 6.7 mos. The safety profile of Isa + Pd was similar in patients with vs without prior anti-CD38 exposure. Conclusions: Isa + Pd demonstrated clinical benefit across anti-CD38–naïve, anti-CD38–exposed, and anti-CD38–refractory patients. A washout period >median of 20.2 mos resulted in outcomes comparable to those in anti-CD38–naïve patients, and outcomes were consistent between anti-CD38–exposed and anti-CD38–refractory patients after a >9-mo washout period. Efficacy of Isa + Pd in patients with prior anti-CD38 exposure from the IRAKLIA trial presents an opportunity to address an unmet need in a difficult-to-treat patient population.

7094 Background: Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) remains incurable with current available therapeutic options. Treatment options for relapsed/refractory pts are limited and often continuous, underscoring the need for new agents with novel mechanisms of action and pt-centered, fixed duration therapy. Iopofosine I 131 is a novel radiopharmaceutical compound composed of a lipid raft-targeting phospholipid ether covalently bound to 131 I, a beta emitting radioisotope. Here, we report preliminary sub-group results of the CLOVER-WaM study [NCT02952508] in WM pts treated with a Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (BTKi) immediately prior to iopofosine. Methods: Eligible WM pts had received >2 prior therapies and had symptomatic disease requiring therapy according to consensus recommendations for WM. Treatment consisted of 2 cycles of iopofosine I 131 administered at 15 mCi/m 2 on days 1 and 15 of each 57-day cycle. The primary efficacy endpoint was major response rate (MRR; partial response or better, as determined by the modified IWWM-VI). Secondary and exploratory endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), treatment-free survival (TFS), progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and clinical benefit rate (CBR; stable disease or better). Herein, efficacy endpoints were assessed in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population (all pts who received ≥60 mCi total administered dose of iopofosine I 131), and whose treatment regimen prior to iopofosine included a BTKi. Safety was evaluated using CTCAE v4.03 in pts who received ≥1 dose of iopofosine. Data cut off for this analysis was Jan. 16, 2026. Results: As previously reported, 65 pts were dosed and 55 are included in the mITT population. Of those, 22 (40%) had received a BTKi containing regimen immediately prior to iopofosine; and 11 who previously received at least 2 regimens utilizing BTKis and 12 who were refractory to rituximab. In this subgroup, median age was 70.5 (range 55-88), 17 (77%) were male, and 5 (23%) were female. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 2-7), 15/22 (68%) were MYD88 mutated and 18/22 (82%) were TP53 wildtype. The MRR was 15/22 (68.2%), ORR was 19/22 (86.4%) and CBR was 100%, median PFS was 12 months (range 1.6 to 28.0) and median TFS was 19.1 months (range 2.5-34.4). Grade ≥ 3, related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) occurring in > 10% of pts included anemia (41%), leukopenia (41%), neutropenia (58%), and thrombocytopenia (86%). Conclusions: Iopofosine I 131 demonstrated significant efficacy; 100% CBR, 86.4% ORR and 68.2% MRR with a median PFS of 12 months (range: 1.6 – 28.0 months) in a pt population with no current standard of care therapy. The treatment was well-tolerated with a manageable toxicity profile with cytopenias as the only Grade 3 or greater TEAE. Based on the results of this pivotal trial, iopofosine I 131 could be a promising novel treatment for WM pts after BTKi therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02952508 .

7530 Background: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CAR-T therapy is a highly effective treatment with potential for long-term remission of RRMM with improved outcomes vs daratumumab-based regimens. CAR-T suitability may be limited by delays/manufacturing failure and changes in pt condition, financial situation, or access to specialized treatment centers. We characterized pts with RRMM who underwent leukapheresis to prepare for CAR-T and pt treatment waiting time, to understand the delays incurred prior to CAR-T infusion. Methods: A real-world study in the US using the PharMetrics Plus claims database (July 2020–September 2024) was performed. Eligible pts were aged ≥18 years with RRMM, had their first leukapheresis claim (index date) during the index period (March 2021–August 2024), were continuously enrolled in medical/pharmacy benefits for ≥180 days prior to and ≥30 days after index date, and were not clinical trial participants. Pt characteristics, rate of CAR-T receipt, and time to CAR-T receipt were assessed during the variable follow-up. Results: Overall, 337 pts who received leukapheresis were identified. Median (interquartile range) age was 62 (55–67) years, and 59.1% of pts were male. Mean National Cancer Institute (NCI) comorbidity index was 0.52. Most pts received care in the Midwest (31.8%) or Northeast (24.6%) regions. Most pts (95.9%) received leukapheresis in an outpatient setting. Median available follow-up time was 255 days (mean 337 days). During follow-up, 183 pts (54.3%) did not receive CAR-T after leukapheresis. Among pts who had ≥12 months of follow-up (n=143), the proportion of pts who did not receive CAR-T was similar at 53.1% (n=76). Among pts who received CAR-T during the follow-up (n=154; 45.7%), the median waiting time was 54.0 days (mean 56.7 days). The cohort of pts who did not receive CAR-T had a higher proportion of females (48.6%/31.8%), were more likely to have Medicaid (29.5%/7.8%), had higher NCI comorbidity index (scores 0.55/0.47), and most commonly received care in the Northeast (35.5%/11.7%) while pts who received CAR-T most commonly received care in the Midwest (23.0%/42.2%). The most common first classes of multiple myeloma medications after leukapheresis but prior to CAR-T infusion in pts who did/did not receive CAR-T were an alkylating agent (65.6%/36.1%), proteasome inhibitor (40.3%/30.6%), steroid (38.3%/39.3%), immunomodulatory drug (22.7%/27.3%), anti-CD38 (20.8%/20.8%), and stem cell transplant (0%/17.5%). Conclusions: Over half of pts receiving leukapheresis did not receive CAR-T infusion, highlighting a persistent gap between eligibility and treatment delivery. These data emphasize an urgent need for broadly accessible BCMA-targeted therapies that provide deep and durable responses.
