Real-world outcomes and subsequent treatment utilization following anti-B-cell maturation antigen antibody-drug conjugate exposure in patients with multiple myeloma.
e19503 Background: The anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) belantamab mafodotin is approved in the USA and EU for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Understanding treatment options and patient outcomes following ADC failure is clinically important. This study describes post-ADC treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in real-world patients with RRMM. Methods: Adult patients with MM who received an ADC and initiated ≥1 subsequent line of therapy (LOT) were included. The index date was the start of the first post-ADC LOT. Data were obtained from chart reviews at International Myeloma Foundation International Myeloma Working Group (IMF IMWG) academic sites, and US electronic health records from largely community sites (COTA and Guardian Research Network [GRN]). Patient characteristics and index regimens were summarized descriptively. Time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: The IMF IMWG cohort (n=40) had a mean age of 70.8 years, median of 7 prior LOTs and 82.5% were triple-class refractory (TCR). Overall, 85% received ADC monotherapy (70% belantamab mafodotin) and 15% combination therapy. Pre-ADC and not considering corticosteroids, patients were commonly exposed to lenalidomide (R; 100%), bortezomib (V; 92.5%), daratumumab (D) and pomalidomide (P; 90% each). Over a median follow-up of 26 months after index date, 29 unique index post-ADC regimens were reported, frequently selinexor (27.5%) and bispecific antibodies (15%). CAR T-cell therapy was administered to 5%, with 60% re-treated with a pre-ADC drug class (PI/IMiD/anti-CD38) after ADC. Median (95% CI) TTNT and OS were 10.8 (7.0–20.6) and 19.0 (13.4–25.1) months, respectively. The COTA-GRN cohort (n=39) had a mean age of 67.5 years, median of 8 prior LOTs, and 51.3% were TCR. Overall, 56% received ADC monotherapy (belantamab mafodotin) and 44% combination therapy. Pre-ADC and not considering corticosteroids, patients were commonly exposed to D and R (97.4% each), and carfilzomib, V and P (94.9% each). Over a median follow-up of 9.2 months, 32 unique index post-ADC regimens were reported, frequently selinexor (23.1%) and venetoclax (17.9%) based; 0% received CAR Ts and 54% were re-treated with a pre-ADC drug class (PI/IMiD/anti-CD38) after ADC. Median (95% CI) TTNT and OS were 4.9 (2.8–non-estimable [NE]) and 12.0 (4.9–NE) months, respectively. Conclusions: Findings highlight that most patients with heavily pretreated BCMA-ADC exposed MM were re-treated with similar classes. Academic centers used novel therapies (ie, CAR T, bispecific antibodies) more often and their patients had longer survival than those treated at community sites. However, clinical outcomes remained sub-optimal, emphasizing the unmet need for effective, accessible post-ADC treatments.
Phase 3 randomized trial to evaluate the impact of anselamimab on all-cause mortality in κ light-chain amyloidosis.
7501 Background: AL amyloidosis is a plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) characterized by κ or λ Ig light chain amyloid fibrils that deposit in vital organs. Anselamimab is an investigational mAb designed to complement anti-PCD therapy through accelerated removal of amyloid fibrils. Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival (CARES) studies (NCT04512235 and NCT04504825) investigated the efficacy and safety of anselamimab compared with placebo, in addition to anti-PCD therapy. Methods: Alongside anti-PCD therapy with CyBorD (daratumumab was permitted) newly diagnosed patients with European modification of Mayo stage IIIa or IIIb AL amyloidosis were randomized 2:1 to receive anselamimab (1000 mg/m 2 ) or placebo (normal saline) IV every 7 days for 4 weeks followed by every 14 days for the remainder of the blinded study (18 months after the last participant enrolled). The primary endpoint was a hierarchical combination of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and frequency of adjudicated cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVH) using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test and win-ratio in the combined study population. Subgroup analysis by involved κ or λ free light chain (iFLC) was prespecified. Results: 271 patients were randomized to receive anselamimab and 135 placebo. Baseline characteristics were similar between treatment arms. The median duration of treatment was 21.4 months and 21.1 in the anselamimab and placebo arms, respectively. Daratumumab was used in 79.3% and 83.7% of the anselamimab and placebo arms, respectively. Results of the primary efficacy analyses are shown in the table. Anselamimab-treated patients with κ iFLC had a 62% reduction in ACM (HR = 0.38; 95% CI, 0.17, 0.86; nominal P = 0.012) and a 71% reduction in risk for CVH (estimated CVH rate ratio = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10, 0.87; nominal P = 0.028). Patients with λ iFLC had a 10% reduction in risk for CVH; none in ACM. Safety data were comparable between both treatment arms. In anselamimab-treated patients, safety findings were similar between κ subgroup and full population. Conclusions: Anselamimab, a κ light chain–directed anti-fibril monoclonal antibody used alongside standard of care chemotherapy, offers a first-in-class, new therapeutic option for patients with newly diagnosed κ AL amyloidosis.
