Study to Assess for Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) in Multiple Myeloma Patients

Study Purpose

This study is to assess for Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma at a deeper level than what is currently available by combining novel imaging and laboratory techniques, determine if patients who are MRD-negative by these multiple modalities can safely and effectively discontinue post-transplant maintenance therapy, and determine if liquid biopsies is a more accurate and/or less invasive sampling technique for multiple myeloma. The purpose of this research is to determine if patients who are MRD-negative by multiple modalities ("multimodality MRD-negative") can safely and effectively discontinue post-transplant maintenance therapy (single agent lenalidomide, pomalidomide, bortezomib, or ixazomib) after receiving at least one year of maintenance therapy.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Males and females > 18 years of age.
  • - ECOG performance status less than or equal to 2 (Karnofsky > 60%) - Patients with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma who have undergone initial treatment, with or without autologous stem cell transplant, and currently treated with single-agent maintenance therapy (lenalidomide, pomalidomide, bortezomib, daratumumab, or ixazomib) for a duration of at least 1 year.
The 1 year duration can include time spent receiving at least 8 cycles of doublet or triplet induction regimens OR multi-agent post-transplant maintenance prior to conversion to single agent maintenance therapy.
  • - Patients must have had their most recent bone marrow testing within the last 2 years and negative for MRD by flow cytometry (with a sensitivity of at least 10-5) or by NGS with a sensitivity of at least 10-5.
  • - Patients must have achieved a CR (CR) by IMWG consensus response criteria.
For patients with a persistent low level paraprotein ('M-spike'), mass spectrometry may be used to determine if the paraprotein is significant or not. Results of mass spectrometry may be used to supercede results of serum protein electrophoresis.
  • - Patients must have a most recent PET/CT within the last 1.5 years without evidence of myeloma disease.
  • - Must have baseline bone marrow sample that can be used for clonality identification for NGS and mass spectrometry if not already performed.
  • - Willing and able to undergo a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration.
  • - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • - Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must agree to use 2 reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during the following time periods related to this study: 1) if continued on lenalidomide as part of standard of care and 2) for at least 28 days after discontinuation of lenalidomide.
  • - All participants in the US must have already been consented to and registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS® program and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of Revlimid REMS®.
  • - Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the intervention are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Progressive disease as determined per IMWG consensus response criteria.
  • - Have not met the criteria for CR by IMWG consensus response criteria.
  • - MRD-positive disease by flow cytometry, NGS (1 in 1,000,000 cells), or PCR.
  • - Concomitant hematologic malignancy.
  • - Known or suspected amyloidosis.
  • - Unwilling to undergo a bone marrow biopsy.
  • - Unwilling to discontinue maintenance therapy.
  • - Any clinically significant medical disease or condition that, in the Treating Investigator's opinion, may interfere with protocol adherence or a subject's ability to give informed consent.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04108624
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Experimental: MRD2STOP ARM

Interventions

Other: - Screening Phase

This will identify subjects who are MRD (minimal residual disease) negative and eligible for the discontinuation phase.

Device: - Discontinuation Phase

Patients will undergo discontinuation of their maintenance therapy if they are MRD negative by PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography), flow cytometry and next generation sequencing
