A Study of Teclistamab and Mezigdomide in People With Multiple Myeloma

Teclistamab and Mezigdomide for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining teclistamab and mezigdomide is a safe and effective treatment approach in people with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have been treated with a proteasome inhibitor, an IMiD, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Patients who have been treated with at least 2 prior lines of therapy are eligible. Multiple myeloma is defined by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) updated criteria.

2. Patients need to have measurable disease defined by one or more of the following:

   1. Serum myeloma (M)-protein greater than or equal to 0.5 g/dL (5 g/L).

   2. Urine M-protein greater or equal to 200 mg/24 h.

   3. Involved light chain (either kappa or lambda) >10 mg/dL with an abnormal kappa: lambda ratio

   4. Plasmacytoma(s) that is new or definitely increased verified by imaging or biopsy.

      Increase is defined as a 50% and at least 1 cm increase as measured serially by the sum of the products of the cross-diameters of the measurable lesion.

   5. A bone marrow biopsy demonstrating >30% infiltration of clonal plasma cells.

3. Patients who have received prior BCMA-directed therapy > 90 days prior including antibody drug conjugates or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell [CAR T] are eligible. BCMA presence on the cell surface should be confirmed in patients who have been treated with prior BCMA targeted therapies. Prior treatment with BCMA targeted bispecific antibodies is not allowed.

4. Patients who have received bispecific antibodies >60 days prior with targets other than BCMA are eligible.

5. Patients who have received allogeneic stem cell transplantation >6 months prior are eligible.

6. Age ≥18 years.

    • WOCBP must have two negative serum or urine pregnancy tests with 10-14 days in between prior to treatment with mezigdomide. The latter must be within 15 days of starting mezigdomide. WOCBP must agree to use two highly effective methods of contraception (i.e. copper-containing intrauterine device, established use of oral, inserted, injected or implanted hormonal method of contraception, or male/female sterilization, etc.
    • WOCBP must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.

    The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with a nearly undetected pregnancy. Pregnancy prevention while on mezigdomide treatment is All WOCBP must agree and adhere to all testing and contraception requirements in the mezigdomide Global Pregnancy Prevention Plan (PPP). Duration of contraception for WOCBP must be in accordance with the mezigdomide Global PPP
