COMbination Regimens in MM Post AHCT to elimiNate MRD Utilizing IbERdomide (COMMANDER)

May 28, 2026 updated by: Luciano Jose Costa, MD, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Phase Ib/II Trial Of Iberdomide-Combinations In Patients With Positive Minimal Residual Disease (>10-5) After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation In The Upfront Management Of Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Similar to the paradigm established in other hematologic malignancies that are considered curable, the achievement of MRD(-) status is necessary for long term disease control in MM. The fact that the majority of patients remain MRD (+) after induction therapy and AHCT points to the opportunity to deploy novel agents with complementary mechanism of action and favorable toxicity profile to reach and maintain MRD (-) status.

Given its favorable toxicity profile, the convenience of oral administration, and compelling single agent activity even in heavily pretreated MM, iberdomide is likely amenable to long term therapy in patients with high-risk of relapse/progression identified by the persistence of MRD(+). The investigators intend to develop combination(s) of iberdomide with other agents with complementary mechanism of action in the consolidation setting post AHCT in order to achieve and sustain MRD (-).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age >18 years with no upper age limit

  4. Prior AHCT 100-180 days prior to initiation of protocol-directed therapy
  5. MRD ≥ 10^-5 by clonoSEQ® NGS platform, determined 60-120 days after AHCT as part of the usual care.
  6. No prior disease progression (either before or since AHCT)

  8. Measurable disease at the time of the initial diagnosis (i.e. prior to starting any therapy for MM) meeting at least one of the following criteria:

    • Serum monoclonal (M) protein ≥1.0 g/dl

      • 200 mg of M protein/24h in the urine
    • Difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal kappa to lambda ratio.
  9. Adequate hepatic function evidenced by AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ULN.

  11. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40 mL/minute within 28 days prior to start of therapy either measured or calculated using standard Cockcroft and Gault formula (available in https://www.kidney.org/professionals/KDOQI/gfr_calculatorCoc ).
  12. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have two negative pregnancy tests as verified by the investigator and agree to ongoing pregnancy testing and to practice contraception during treatment. Male subjects must agree to practice contraception and refrain from donating sperm during treatment.
  13. In line with the higher incidence of MM in Blacks, and to address the historical underrepresentation of ethnical minorities in MM trials, at least 25% of the enrolled patients will be of ethnical minorities.
  14. Written informed consent in accordance with federal, local, and institutional guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of amyloidosis, POEMS, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, plasma cell leukemia or smoldering multiple myeloma (i.e. never evolved to active myeloma).

  4. Current or prior involvement of central nervous system by multiple myeloma.
  5. MM refractory to prior CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy and/or to carfilzomib (prior exposure allowed). Refractoriness here is defined as not achieving at least a PR in a regimen containing the agent or disease progression < 60 days from last dose of the agent.
  6. Pregnant or lactating females.
  7. Seropositive for hepatitis B (defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]). Subjects with resolved infection (ie, subjects who are HBsAg negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.

  10. A prolongation of QT interval on screening electrocardiogram (ECG) as defined by corrected QT interval (QTc) > 480 ms using Fridericia's QT correction formula.
