The Relapse From MRD Negativity as Indication for Treatment (REMNANT) Study

Study Purpose

The REMNANT study will evaluate whether treating minimal residual disease (MRD) relapse after first line treatment prolongs progression free survival and overall survival for myeloma patients versus treating relapse after first line treatment at progressive disease. To establish a homogenous group of MRD negative patients after first line treatment including autologous stem cell transplantation, patients are enrolled at diagnosis and treated with Norwegian standard of care first line treatment. MRD negative patients will move on to the randomized part.

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

  • - Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study: 1.
Patient with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (IMWG criteria) eligible for high-dose therapy and ASCT. 2. Patient must be >18 and < 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent. 3. Must have measurable disease as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group; serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level > 10 g/L or light chain multiple myeloma without measurable disease in the serum; serum immunoglobulin FLC > 100 mg/L and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio. 4. Voluntary written informed consent. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2. ECOG 3 can be enrolled if caused by myeloma. 6. Patient must be willing and able to adhere to the study protocol visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 7. Female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a confirmed negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to inclusion. 8. FCBP and male subject who are sexually active with FCBP must agree to use highly effective concomitant methods of contraceptive during the study and for at least 28 days following the last study drug dose. Male subjects must use contraception and refrain from donating sperm for at least 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide according to Pregnancy Prevention Plan (Appendix 4: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy Information). Inclusion Criteria part two:
  • - Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study.
1. Patient must be MRD negative measured by Euroflow NGF after 1.L therapy. The cutoff for inclusion into part 2 will be 100 PC per 10 mill. nucleated cells monitored in BM. 2. Has received 1.L treatment in part 1 of the study. 3. ECOG performance status score 0, 1 or 2. Exclusion Criteria part one: 1. Received more than one cycle of induction treatment for multiple myeloma. 2. Patient with ongoing or active systemic infection, active hepatitis B or C virus infection or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. 3. Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease that is incompatible to HDM and ASCT or that will likely result in reduced study compliance and reduce ability to follow study procedures, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for participating in this study. 4. No active malignancy with a lower life expectancy than myeloma. 5. Female patient who have a positive serum pregnancy test during the screening period. 6. Female patient who is lactating during the screening period but are not willing to stop lactating prior to the first treatment cycle starts. 7. Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent. Exclusion Criteria part two: 1. No active malignancy with a lower life expectancy than myeloma. 2. Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues, or excipients in the various formulations of any agent

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.

NCT04513639
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.

Additional Details

391 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma eligible for high dose therapy with autologous stem cell support will be included in the phase II part of the study and receive standard of care first line treatment according to Norwegian national guidelines; bortezomib- lenalidomide

  • - dexamethasone for 4 pre-transplant induction and 4 post-transplant consolidation cycles (all 21-d cycles).
After induction patients will undergo tandem or single ASCT, depending on toxicity and response to first ASCT. The primary endpoint of the phase 2 part of the study is the number of patients who achieve MRD negative (Euroflow NGF 10 -5 ) complete response 30-45 days post consolidation. Patients (176) achieving MRD negative complete response will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive second line treatment at MRD reappearance (arm A) or at progressive disease as defined by the IMWG criteria (arm B). Randomization will be stratified by R-ISS stage at diagnosis and single vs.#46;tandem ASCT. Patients in arm A will be followed with MRD assessment every 4 month and start second line treatment at loss of MRD negative CR. Patients in arm B will be followed up by standard criteria and start second line treatment at progressive disease. Both arms will receive the same 2.L treatment; carfilzomib
  • - dexamethasone - daratumumab.
(all 28-d cycles) Second line treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable AEs or patient withdrawal. In arm A MRD Euroflow will be assessed after 6 and 18 months of 2L therapy. In arm B MRD Euroflow will be assessed if >CR is achieved but not before 6 months of 2 L therapy, and again after 12 consecutive months.
