Isatuximab and Iberdomide as Immunotherapy for High Risk in Smouldering Myeloma (MODIFY)

The study will test a new combination of 3 drugs: Isatuximab (Isa), Iberdomide (Iber) and Dexamethasone (Dex), in patients who have intermediate or high risk smouldering myeloma. Smouldering myeloma is an early form of myeloma which may progress to active multiple myeloma, but at a slow rate. Patients with smouldering myeloma do not usually receive any treatment but will have regular check-ups and observation. Some patients have a diagnosis of smouldering myeloma which has a higher risk of progressing to active myeloma.

The study will test if the combination of drugs is effective at preventing or delaying the disease progressing into active multiple myeloma. The study will also test if the combination is tolerated and accepted by patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Treatment deliverability, measured by treatment discontinuation before completion of 26 cycles	The number and proportion of patients who complete all 26 cycles of trial treatment per protocol (allowing for delays/reductions/omissions deemed acceptable by the protocol) will be presented with two-sided 90% confidence interval. While the sample size is based off of 57 patients being assessable for this endpoint, all eligible patients will be included in the analysis and conclusions will be based on the lower bound of the 90% confidence interval. Patients who do not complete treatment for reasons unrelated to disease or toxicity will be excluded from this analysis (e.g. patient moving away or becoming pregnant), however sensitivity analyses will be performed where these patients are assumed to complete/not complete treatment.	From the date of registration until the date of treatment completion/discontinuation (approximately 2 years or earlier if patients discontinue treatment early)
Treatment efficacy measured by best overall response rate by the end of treatment	The number and proportion of patients who achieve disease response (PR, VGPR, CR or sCR) at any point over the duration of treatment or at the 1 month FU response assessment will be presented with two-sided 90% confidence interval. While the sample size is based off of 53 patients being assessable for this endpoint, all eligible patients will be included in the analysis and conclusions will be based on the lower bound of the 90% confidence interval. All patients who have completed at least one response assessment or stopped protocol treatment early due to toxicity, insufficient response, progression or death will be included in this analysis.	From the date of registration until the date of 1 month follow up assessment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression Free Survival	PFS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and will be defined as the time from registration until development of CRAB or SLiM CRAB or death from any cause. Patients who do not die or progress will be censored at the date of last adequate assessment with evidence of no progression (this will be at a minimum of 24 months for all patients who do not progress).	From the date of registration until the date of first disease progression or death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5.5 years
Time to biochemical progression	Time to biochemical progression will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and will defined as the time from registration until biochemical disease progression. Patients who do not have biochemical disease progression will be censored at the date last seen.	from the date of registration until the date of biochemical disease progression, assessed up to 5.5 years
Progression Free Survival 2	PFS2 will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and will be measured in two ways: from the date of registration until date of progression after diagnosis of active myeloma or death from any cause; from the date of progression to active myeloma to date of progression after diagnosis of active myeloma or death from any cause Patients who do not progress following diagnosis of active myeloma will be censored at the date last seen	from the date of registration assessed up to 5.5 years
Best overall response to subsequent line of therapy	The best overall response rate to subsequent line of therapy will be presented with corresponding 95% confidence interval. Patients who do not start a new line of therapy will not be included in this analysis.	From the date of registration until the end of follow up, assessed up to 5.5 years
Overall Survival	OS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and will be defined as the time from registration until death from any cause. Patients who do not die will be censored at the date last seen	From the date of registration until the date of death, assessed up to 5.5 years
MRD negativity rates		From the date of screening until the date of 3 Years Post-Registration Follow Up
Very Good Partial Response and Complete response + MRD negative rates	Response rates (including PR, VGPR, CR, MRD negativity and VGPR/CR+MRD negativity) at each response assessment as well as best response over all assessments will be presented as the number and proportion with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Patients who stopped treatment before the response assessment due to toxicity, insufficient response, progression or death will be counted as non-responders.	From the date of screening until the date of 3 Years Post-Registration Follow Up
Adverse Event and Adverse Device Effect rates	Assessed by CTCAE criteria v5. Assessed in all patients given at least one dose of study treatment. The worst grade of each adverse event and adverse device effect for each patient will be calculated and the rates of grade 1-2 and 3-5 will be summarised. Analyses looking at the number of each AE and ADE experienced by patients and the duration of symptoms will also be considered to assess the entire burden of toxicity. Toxicity data Separate analyses will be summarised across the entire duration of treatment as well as by treatment phase performed using a) all toxicity data and b) toxicity data during cycles 1-4 (induction, consolidation, maintenance) only.).	From informed consent until the end of post-treatment safety reporting window (6 months after the last dose)
Median and cumulative doses of Iberdomide and Isatuximab		From registration until end of treatment (approximately 2 years or earlier if patients discontinue treatment early)
Treatment compliance	The treatment discontinuation rates during each phase of treatment (Induction cycles 1-4; Consolidation cycles 5-13 and Maintenance cycles 14-26) will be presented with corresponding 95% confidence intervals.	From registration until end of treatment (approximately 2 years or earlier if patients discontinue treatment early)
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (EORTC QLQ-C30)	Quality of life data will be summarised using descriptive statistics and plotted over time to describe any changes throughout treatment and follow up	From the date of screening until the date of progression or Month 12 Follow up visit, whichever is latest
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (EORTC QLQ-MY20)	Quality of life data will be summarised using descriptive statistics and plotted over time to describe any changes throughout treatment and follow up.	From the date of screening until the date of progression or Month 12 Follow up visit, whichever is latest
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (EQ5D-3L)	Quality of life data will be summarised using descriptive statistics and plotted over time to describe any changes throughout treatment and follow up	From the date of screening until the date of progression or Month 12 Follow up visit, whichever is latest
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (Bespoke MODIFY questionnaire)	Quality of life data will be summarised using descriptive statistics and plotted over time to describe any changes throughout treatment and follow up	From the date of screening until the date of progression or Month 12 Follow up visit, whichever is latest
