FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present disclosure relates to methods of treating multiple myeloma by administering an anti-CD38 antibody.
BACKGROUND
[0004] Therapeutic antibodies have improved the options for treating patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, therapeutic antibodies are typically administered via intravenous infusion, and infusion reactions (IRs) are a commonly reported side effect. Symptoms of IR (e.g., rash, urticarial, flushing, changes in heart rate and/or blood pressure, fever, dyspnea, and/or nausea) require prompt management to avoid severe adverse events, including fatality. Strategies for mitigating the risk of IRs (or resolving mild IRs) include slowing the infusion rate, temporarily interrupting the infusion, and/or splitting the infusion dose over two or more consecutive days. However, lengthy and/or frequent intravenous infusions can be costly, burdensome, and inconvenient for patients, leading to reduced compliance with the treatment regimen. Moreover, lengthy and/or frequent IV infusions require extended hospital stays and longer observation times, thus increasing the workloads of hospital employees. What is needed in the art are safe and effective methods of administering therapeutic antibody for the treatment of RRMM that are also more convenient for patients, physicians, and other medical staff.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] Therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of multiple myeloma (including relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma“RRMM”) have the potential to cause infusion reactions (IRs) when administered intravenously. IRs present with a variety of symptoms, including, e.g., rash, urticarial, flushing, changes in heart rate and/or blood pressure, fever, dyspnea, and/or nausea, etc.) during or within 24 hours of intravenous infusion. IRs can range in severity from mild to life-threatening, but in all cases, prompt attention and an immediate response to the patient's initial symptoms are essential. Numerous strategies, e.g., including slowing infusion rate, interrupting infusion, and splitting the infusion over two or more consecutive days, have been adopted to mitigate and/or prevent IRs.
However, such strategies can inconvenience patients and increase medical costs. Further, extended hospital stays and frequent hospital visits increase the workloads of hospital staff.
[0042] Provided herein are methods of treating multiple myeloma (e.g., RRMM) that comprise administering an effective amount of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., 10 mg/kg isatuximab) to an individual via intravenous infusion, wherein the volume of each anti-CD38 antibody infusion is 250 ml. Applicant found that such fixed volume of anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) can be infused rapidly, thus significantly decreasing the duration without detriment to patient safety.
[0043] Also provided herein are methods of treating multiple myeloma (e.g., RRMM) that comprise administering 20 mg/kg of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) to an individual on each of Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a first 28-day cycle, and further administering 20 mg/kg of an anti- CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) to the individual on each of Days 1 and 15 of every subsequent 28-day cycle following the first 28-day cycle.
Definitions
[0044] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms“a”,“an” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to“a molecule” optionally includes a combination of two or more such molecules, and the like.
[0045] The term“about” as used herein refers to the usual error range for the respective value readily known to the skilled person in this technical field. Reference to“about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. “Sustained response” refers to the sustained effect on preventing or delaying progression of a disease (e.g., multiple myeloma) and/or improving one or more response criteria after cessation of a treatment. For example, response to treatment for multiple myeloma may be measured according to the criteria in Kumar et al. (2016)“International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria for response and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma.” Lancet Oncol.17(8): e328-e346) and Durie et al. (2006)“International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma.
Leukemia.20: 1467-1473. (See also Table 14 herein). In some embodiments, the sustained response has a duration at least the same as the treatment duration, at least 1.5X, 2.0X, 2.5X, or 3.0X length of the treatment duration.
[0046] The term“pharmaceutical formulation” refers to a preparation which is in such form as to permit the biological activity of the active ingredient to be effective, and which contains no additional components which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the formulation would be
administered. Such formulations are sterile.“Pharmaceutically acceptable” excipients (vehicles, additives) are those which can reasonably be administered to a subject mammal to provide an effective dose of the active ingredient employed.
[0047] As used herein, the term“treatment” refers to clinical intervention designed to alter the typical course of the disease or cell (e.g., cancer cell) being treated during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include decreasing the rate of disease progression, ameliorating or palliating the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. For example, an individual is successfully“treated” if one or more symptoms associated with cancer are mitigated or eliminated, including, but are not limited to, reducing the proliferation of (or destroying) cancerous cells, decreasing symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, and/or prolonging survival of individuals.
[0048] As used herein,“delaying progression of a disease” means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease (such as cancer). This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, a late stage cancer, such as development of metastasis, may be delayed.
[0049] An“effective amount” is at least the minimum amount required to effect a measurable improvement or prevention of a particular disorder. An effective amount herein may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the patient, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. An effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the treatment are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, disease, its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include clinical results such as decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival. In the case of cancer or tumor, an effective amount of the drug may have the effect in reducing the number of cancer cells; reducing the tumor size; inhibiting (i.e., slow to some extent or desirably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and desirably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibiting to some extent tumor growth; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this invention, an effective amount of drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. As is understood in the clinical context, an effective amount of a drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an“effective amount” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.
[0050] As used herein,“in conjunction with” refers to administration of one treatment modality in addition to another treatment modality. As such,“in conjunction with” refers to administration of one treatment modality before, during, or after administration of the other treatment modality to the individual.
[0051] A“subject” or an“individual” for purposes of treatment refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and zoo, sports, or pet animals, such as dogs, horses, cats, cows, etc. Preferably, the mammal is human.
[0052] The term“antibody” herein is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. As used herein, the term“overall response rate” or“ORR” refers to the proportion of patients with stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), and partial response (PR), as assessed by the IRC using the IMWG response criteria described in Kumar et al. (2016)“International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria for response and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma.” Lancet Oncol.17(8): e328-e346 and Durie et al. (2006)“International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma. Leukemia.20: 1467-1473. See also Table 14.
[0053] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.
Overview
[0054] Provided herein are methods for treating or delaying the progression of multiple myeloma in an individual who has received at least two prior therapies for multiple myeloma (e.g., such as lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor). In some embodiments, the methods comprise
administering to the individual 10 mg/kg of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) via intravenous infusion, wherein each infusion of 10 mg/kg of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) is in a 250 ml volume. In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR (or experiences only a mild IR) during or following the infusion. In some embodiments, the method comprises
administering 20 mg/kg of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) to the individual on each of Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a first 28-day cycle. In some embodiments, the method comprises further administering an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) to the individual in one or more subsequent 28-day cycles following the first 28 day-cycle. In some embodiments, the method comprises further administering 20 mg/kg of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) to the individual on each of Days 1 and 15 of every subsequent 28-day cycle following the first 28-day cycle.
Anti-CD38 Antibodies
[0055] In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody binds to human CD38. In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody is a human antibody, a humanized antibody, or a chimeric
antibody. In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody comprises (a) a heavy chain variable domain (VH) that comprises: a CDR-H1 comprising the amino acid sequence DYWMQ (SEQ ID NO: 1), a CDR-H2 comprising the amino acid sequence TIYPGDGDTGYAQKFQG (SEQ ID NO: 2), and a CDR-H3 comprising the amino acid sequence GDYYGSNSLDY (SEQ ID NO: 3), and (b) a light chain variable domain (VL) that comprises: a CDR-L1 comprising the amino acid sequence KASQDVSTVVA (SEQ ID NO: 4), a CDR-L2 comprising the amino acid sequence SASYRYI (SEQ ID NO: 5), and a CDR-L3 comprising the amino acid sequence QQHYSPPYT (SEQ ID NO: 6). In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody comprises a heavy chain variable domain (VH) that comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical (e.g., at least any one of 91%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%, including any range between these values) to SEQ ID NO: 7. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody comprises a light chain variable domain (VL) that comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical (e.g., at least any one of 91%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%, including any range between these values) to SEQ ID NO: 8 or SEQ ID NO: 9. In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody comprises a VH that comprises SEQ ID NO: 7 and a VL that comprises SEQ ID NO: 8 or SEQ ID NO: 9.
[0056] In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody is isatuximab (CAS Registry Number: 1461640-62-9). Isatuximab, also known as hu38SB19 and SAR650984, is an anti-CD38 antibody described in WO 2008/047242 and US Patent No.8,153,765, the contents of both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
[0057] The heavy chain of isatuximab comprises the amino acid sequence:
and the light chain of isatuximab comprises the amino acid sequence:
[0058] The anti-CD38 antibodies may be produced using recombinant methods. For recombinant production of an anti-antigen antibody, nucleic acid encoding the antibody is isolated and inserted into a replicable vector for further cloning (amplification of the DNA) or for expression. DNA encoding the antibody may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody). Many vectors are available. The vector components generally include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: a signal sequence, an origin of replication, one or more marker genes, an enhancer element, a promoter, and a transcription termination sequence. The vector is typically transformed into a host cell suitable for expression of the nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the host cell is a eukaryotic cell or a prokaryotic cell. In some embodiments, the eukaryotic host cell is a mammalian cell. Examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7, ATCC CRL 1651); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells subcloned for growth in suspension culture, Graham et al., J. Gen Virol.36:59 (1977)); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK, ATCC CCL 10); mouse sertoli cells (TM4, Mather, Biol. Reprod.23:243-251 (1980)); monkey kidney cells (CV1 ATCC CCL 70);
African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76, ATCC CRL-1587); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA, ATCC CCL 2); canine kidney cells (MDCK, ATCC CCL 34); buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A, ATCC CRL 1442); human lung cells (W138, ATCC CCL 75); human liver cells (Hep G2, HB 8065); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562, ATCC CCL51); TRI cells (Mather et al., Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci.383:44-68 (1982)); MRC 5 cells; FS4 cells; and a human hepatoma line (Hep G2). Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR- CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as NS0 and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol.248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003), pp.255-268. The anti-CD38 antibody prepared from the cells can be purified using, for example, hydroxylapatite chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, and affinity chromatography, with affinity chromatography being among one of the typically preferred purification steps. In general, various methodologies for preparing antibodies for use in research, testing, and clinical applications are well-established in the art, consistent with the above-described methodologies and/or as deemed appropriate by one skilled in the art.

In some embodiments, the duration of each of the one or more subsequent infusions of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) is between about 1 and 2 hours, such as between about 1.13 and about 1.53, or between about 1.19 and about 1.41 hours, including any value within these ranges. In some embodiments, the duration of each of the one or more subsequent infusions of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) is about between about 1 and 1.5 hours, such as about 1.27 hours or 1.25 hours. In some embodiments, the duration of each of the one or more subsequent infusions of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) includes temporary interruptions prior to completion of the infusion.
[0074] In some embodiments, the duration of each infusion that provides a 10 mg/kg dose (e.g., at least a 10 mg/kg dose, or 20 mg/kg dose) of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) after the first infusion (e.g., on Day 1 of the first 28-day cycle) is no more than 0.5 hours. In some
embodiments, the duration of each infusion that provides a 10 mg/kg dose (e.g., at least a 10 mg/kg dose, or 20 mg/kg dose) of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) after Day 1 of the first 28 day cycle (e.g., including Days 8, 15 and 22 of the first 28 day cycle and Day 1 and Day 15 of each subsequent 28-day cycle) is no more than about 0.5 hours. In some embodiments, the duration of each infusion that provides a 10 mg/kg dose (e.g., at least a 10 mg/kg dose, or 20 mg/kg dose) of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) on or after Day 8 of the first 28 day cycle (e.g., including Days 15 or 22 of the first 28 day cycle and Day 1 and Day 15 of each subsequent 28-day cycle) is no more than about 0.5 hours.
[0075] In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an infusion reaction (IR) during or following administration (e.g., intravenous infusion) of the anti-CD38 antibody (such as
isatuximab) at a dose of 10 mg/kg (e.g., at least 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg) in a 250 ml volume. In some embodiments, administration of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., via intravenous infusion) at a dose of 10 mg/kg (e.g., at least 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg) in a 250 ml volume does not cause the individual to experience an IR during or following administration. In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR of Grade 3 or higher during or following the infusion of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). In some embodiments, the individual does not experience IR during or following the second infusion of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR during or following the second infusion of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) or in subsequent infusions of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). An IR refers to a disorder characterized by adverse reaction to the intravenous infusion of an anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). An IR may occur during the fusion or within 24 hours of the infusion (such as 24 hours from the time the infusion started). Signs or symptoms of an IR include one or more of the following: paresthesia, chest pain, cough, nasal congestion, sneezing, throat irritation, pruritus, syncope, flushing, chills, fever, urticarial, angioedema, rash, skin reactions, itching, maculopapular rash, tachycardia, hypotension, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, headache, back pain, chest discomfort or non-cardiac chest pain, abdominal pain, abdominal cramps, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, wheezing, respiratory tract congestion, excessive sweating, and erythema. (See, e.g., Doessegger et al. (2015) Clin & Trans Immunol.4(7): e39 for further details.) Thus, in some embodiments, the individual does not experience any one or more of these signs or symptoms.

In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR of Grade 3, 4, or 5, as defined in the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03 (NCI-CTCAE v.4.03). In some embodiments, the IR is a Grade 3 IR if the individual experiences prolonged signs/symptoms of IR (such as described herein) and is not rapidly responsive to medication for the IR and/or to interruption of the infusion. In some embodiments, the IR is Grade 3 IR if the individual experiences recurrence of the signs/symptoms of IR (such as described herein) following initial improvement. In some embodiments, the IR is grade 3 IR is the individual requires hospitalization for the signs/symptoms of IR (such as described herein). In some embodiments, the IR is a Grade 4 IR if the signs/symptoms (such as described herein) are life threatening and/or require urgent intervention. In some embodiments, the IR is Grade 5 IR if the signs/symptoms of IR result in death.
[0081] In some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR of any grade (e.g., Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 IR) during or following the fourth intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg (e.g., at least 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg) of the anti-CD38 antibody (such as isatuximab) in a 250 ml fixed volume. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the individual does not experience an IR of any grade (e.g., Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 IR) during or following any intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg (e.g., at least 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg) of the anti-CD38 antibody (such as isatuximab) in a 250 ml fixed volume subsequent to the fourth intravenous infusion. In some embodiments, the individual experiences no IR (or no further IR) during a fourth infusion or an infusion after the fourth infusion of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) in a 250 ml fixed volume. For example, in some embodiments, the individual experiences no IR (or no further IR) during infusion of 10 mg/kg (e.g., at least 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg) of the anti-CD38 antibody (such as isatuximab) in a 250 ml fixed volume on Day 22 of the first 28-day cycle and on any of Days 1 and 15 of any subsequent 28-day cycle (i.e., after the first 28-day cycle).
[0082] In some embodiments, the dose of anti-CD38 antibody (such as isatuximab) that is in a fixed 250 ml volume and is administered to the individual is not reduced during treatment, e.g., whether or not the individual experiences an IR.

In some embodiments, the anti-CD38 antibody is not administered in combination with a second drug (i.e., the anti-CD38 antibody is administered as monotherapy).
[0088] In some embodiments, the individual has received at least two, at least three, at least four, at least five, or at least six prior therapies (such as 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 prior therapies) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, the prior therapy for multiple myeloma was an immunomodulatory drug (e.g., lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and/or thalidomide). In some embodiments, the individual was refractory to the immunomodulatory drug. In some embodiments, the prior therapy for multiple myeloma was a proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib, carfilzomib, and/or ixazomib). In some embodiments, the individual was refractory to the proteasome inhibitor. In some embodiments, the
individual received prior therapy with an immunomodulatory drug and a proteasome inhibitor. In some embodiments, the immunomodulatory drug and the proteasome inhibitor were administered in combination. In some embodiments, the immunomodulatory drug and the proteasome inhibitor were administered during separate therapies (e.g., separate treatment regimens). In some embodiments, the individual was refractory to the immunomodulatory drug and the proteasome inhibitor.
[0089] In some embodiments, the individual has at least one high-risk cytogenetic abnormality (e.g., prior to starting treatment with the anti-CD38 antibody). In some embodiments the at least one high-risk cytogenetic abnormality is selected from the group consisting of: 17p deletion/del(17p) (TP53), t(4; 14) translocation (FGFR3/IGH), and t(14;16) translocation (IGH/MAF). In some embodiments, the individual has at least two high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities. In some embodiments, the individual has all three high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities.
Other Characteristics of Individuals Receiving Treatment Comprising an Anti-CD38 Antibody
[0090] In some embodiments, the individual demonstrated progressive disease during the most recent prior therapy (or line of therapy), e.g., the therapy (or line of therapy) just before the start of a treatment described herein comprising administration of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). In some embodiments, the individual demonstrated progressive disease (PD) within 60 days after the end of the most recent prior therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma, e.g., the therapy (or line of therapy) just before the start of the treatment comprising administration of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab) a treatment described herein comprising administration of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab). In some embodiments, a progressive disease (PD) is defined according to
International Myeloma Working Group criteria (see, e.g., Kumar et al. (2016)“International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria for response and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma.” Lancet Oncol. 17(8):e328-e346; Durie et al. (2006)“International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma. Leukemia. 20: 1467-1473; and Table 14 herein). In some
embodiments, a line of therapy is ³1 complete cycle of a single agent, or of a combination of two or more agents, or a planned sequential therapy that includes stem cell transplantation. In some embodiments, a given treatment is considered a new line of therapy if any 1 of the following 3 conditions are met:
1. Start of a new line of treatment after discontinuation of a previous line. If a treatment regimen is discontinued for any reason and a different regimen is started, it can be considered a new line of therapy. For example, a regimen is considered to have been discontinued if all the drugs in that given regimen have been stopped. For example, a regimen is not considered to have been
discontinued if some of the drugs of the regimen, but not all, have been discontinued. In some embodiments, the reasons for discontinuation, addition, substitution, or SCT do not influence how lines are counted. Reasons for change may include, for example, end of planned therapy, toxicity, progression, lack of response, inadequate response.
2. The unplanned addition or substitution of 1 or more drugs in an existing regimen. Unplanned addition of a new drug or switching to a different drug (or combination of drugs) due to any reason can be considered a new line of therapy.
3. Stem cell transplantation (SCT): In patients undergoing >1 SCT, except in the case of a planned tandem SCT with a predefined interval (such as 3 months), each SCT (autologous or allogeneic) can be considered a new line of therapy regardless of whether the conditioning regimen used is the same or different. Generally, planned tandem SCT is considered 1 line. Planned induction and/or consolidation, maintenance with any SCT (frontline, relapse, autologous or allogeneic) is generally considered 1 line of therapy.
[0091] In some embodiments, the multiple myeloma is difficult to treat. In some embodiments, the individual has refractory multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, an individual with refractory multiple myeloma is one who was refractory to all prior therapies (or prior lines of therapy), but achieved at least a minimal response (MR) to one prior therapy (or line of therapy). In some embodiments, a minimal response (MR) is defined according to International Myeloma Working Group criteria (see, e.g., Kumar et al. (2016)“International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria for response and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma.” Lancet Oncol. 17(8):e328-e346; Durie et al. (2006)“International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma. Leukemia.20: 1467-1473; and Table 14 herein). In some embodiments, an individual with refractory multiple myeloma is one who was non-responsive to a prior therapy (or prior line of therapy). In some embodiments,“non-responsive” to a therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma means that the individual failed to achieve a minimal response (MR) to the therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments“non-responsive” to a therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma means that the individual has demonstrated progressive disease during the therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, an individual with refractory multiple myeloma is one who demonstrated progressive disease within the 60 days from the end of the last therapy for multiple myeloma.
[0092] In In some embodiments, the individual has failed prior treatment (such as lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments,“failing” a prior treatment means that the individual has demonstrated disease progression (e.g. according to the criteria in Table A) while on the treatment (such as treatment with lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor) or within 60 days from end of treatment (such as treatment with lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor). In some embodiments,“failing” a prior treatment for multiple myeloma means that the individual had demonstrated a partial response (PR) or better (e.g., according to the criteria in Table A) to treatment (such as treatment with lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor), but exhibited disease progression within 6 months after discontinuing the treatment (e.g., as treatment with lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor). In some embodiments,“failing” a prior treatment
for multiple myeloma means that this individual developed toxicity / intolerance after a minimum of 2 consecutive cycles of a treatment regimen (e.g., a treatment regimen containing lenalidomide and/or a proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib, carfilzomib, ixazomib)). In some embodiments, intolerance to a proteasome-containing regimen refers to the individual (e.g., an individual who did not have peripheral neuropathy prior to starting the regimen) developing peripheral neuropathy or neuropathic pain. In some embodiments, intolerance to a lenalidomide -containing regimen refers to the individual developing a severe rash.
[0093] In some embodiments, the individual has relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, an individual with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma is one who relapsed from at least one prior therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma and was refractory to the most recent therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, the individual with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma is one who relapsed from at least one prior therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma, was refractory to the most recent therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma, and was refractory to one or more therapies (or lines of therapy) prior to the most recent therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma. In some embodiments, an individual with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma is one who demonstrated progressive disease within 60 days after the end of the most recent therapy (or line of therapy).
[0094] In some embodiments, the individual was refractory to the most recent prior therapy (or line of therapy).
[0095] In some embodiments, the individual has relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with measurable disease (e.g., serum M protein ³0.5 g/dL measured using serum protein
immunoelectrophoresis and/or urine M protein ³200 mg/24 hours measured using urine protein immunoelectrophoresis and/or serum free light chain (FLC) (i.e., FLC assay ³ 10 mg/dl ( ³ 100 mg/L) and an abnormal serum FLC ratio (<0.26 or >1.65)) who has received at least 2 prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib, carfilzomib, or ixazomib) and was refractory to the last line of therapy (i.e., most recent line of therapy). In some embodiments, the individual has adequate renal, hepatic and bone marrow function.
[0096] In some embodiments, the individual has a poor prognosis. In some embodiments of the methods and uses provided herein, the individual has received at least one, at least two, at least three, at least four prior therapies (or lines of therapy), or more than four prior therapies (or lines of therapy), e.g., at least any one of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 prior therapies (or lines of therapy) for multiple myeloma.
[0097] In some embodiments, the individual has undergone at least one prior therapy (or line of therapy) with lenalidomide. In some embodiments, the prior lenalidomide therapy (or line of therapy) comprised at least two consecutive cycles of lenalidomide. In some embodiments, the individual failed (e.g., was non-re sponsive to) a prior lenalidomide therapy (or a line of therapy). In some
embodiments, an individual who failed a prior lenalidomide therapy (or a line of therapy) did not achieve at least a minimal response (MR) during the therapy (or line of therapy) with lenalidomide. In some embodiments, an individual who failed a prior lenalidomide therapy (or a line of therapy) demonstrated progressive disease (PD) during the therapy (or line of therapy) with lenalidomide. As noted elsewhere herein, in some embodiments,“minimal response” and“progressive disease” are assessed according to the criteria in Kumar et al. (2016)“International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria for response and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma.” Lancet Oncol.17(8): e328-e346 and Durie et al. (2006)“International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma. Leukemia.20: 1467-1473 (see also Table 14 herein). In some embodiments, prior lenalidomide therapy was administered during the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and/or later therapy (or line of therapy) for multiple myeloma (i.e., prior to a treatment described herein comprising administration of the anti-CD38 antibody (e.g., isatuximab)). In some embodiments, the individual was refractory to lenalidomide. In some embodiments, the prior lenalidomide was administered to the individual as a single agent. In some embodiments, the prior lenalidomide was administered to the individual in conjunction with at least one additional agent.
