- 00:00Actual. Post Ash meeting where a few
- 00:03minutes late but will try to finish
- 00:06on time because I know all of you
- 00:09have other things to go too so it's
- 00:11a pleasure to start this series.
- 00:13I think there has been a lot of new
- 00:15and great development in ash meeting
- 00:18and because of their virtual format,
- 00:20sometimes it's very difficult to
- 00:21catch up with all of those articles.
- 00:24So we are going to have six weekly sessions.
- 00:27The first one today will be about
- 00:29multiple myeloma and we will
- 00:31cover the other important.
- 00:32Disease elements in the next few sessions.
- 00:36So this meeting will be recorded.
- 00:40And we will have the recording
- 00:43available for subsequent viewing.
- 00:45Please remember that this is
- 00:47also see me credited so you can
- 00:50see it get CME credit for this
- 00:52hour and for subsequent meetings.
- 00:55So today our talk will be
- 00:58about multiple myeloma.
- 00:59It's a pleasure to have highly
- 01:02distinguished and expert.
- 01:03Basically speakers today with
- 01:05me from Yale University.
- 01:07So we'll start with the Doctor
- 01:10with Doctor Natalia Nippori.
- 01:11See who's an assistant professor of
- 01:13medicine and she's going to talk to
- 01:16us about updates in the frontline
- 01:18management of multiple myeloma.
- 01:20This will be followed by Doctor Terry Parker,
- 01:23our assistant Professor of Medicine at Yale,
- 01:25who's gonna cover the refractory
- 01:27and relapsed multiple myeloma then.
- 01:29Doctors know far.
- 01:30Power Hour,
- 01:31assistant professor of Medicine
- 01:32who specializes in car T cell
- 01:34therapy and transplantation,
- 01:36especially on the My llama front.
- 01:38She will.
- 01:38Cover those for us and this will go
- 01:41for around 40 minutes after that.
- 01:43At the end we're gonna have 15
- 01:45minutes for questions and answers,
- 01:46so if I can ask you to write
- 01:48down your questions,
- 01:50you can write him throughout the
- 01:51session and send them to us.
- 01:53And just to make sure we can go
- 01:55through all the slides will keep
- 01:57their questions and until the end
- 01:59we're going to have a panelist who
- 02:01is Doctor Sabrina Browning who's
- 02:03our instructor with a focus on
- 02:04amyloidosis and also multiple myeloma.
- 02:06All four speakers will be available at
- 02:08the end to take questions from you.
- 02:10And we look forward to a great
- 02:12presentation so Natalia please stop for us.
- 02:14Thank you.
- 02:19Thank you very much, Doctor Zaidan. Good
- 02:22afternoon and thank you all for joining.
- 02:25As mentioned, these are the panelists
- 02:28joining the discussion today and
- 02:30I will begin by up highlighting
- 02:32initial therapy and biology.
- 02:34Pathophysiology of myeloma.
- 02:36These are my disclosures.
- 02:37I would like to begin by highlighting
- 02:40the work by Doctor Kardashian
- 02:42from NCI who presented the work
- 02:45on the treatment of high risk,
- 02:48smoldering multiple myeloma.
- 02:49With carfilzomib, Lenalidomide,
- 02:51and dexamethasone, this was a phase
- 02:53two clinical in Carrollton study.
- 02:55The primary objective was the study was
- 02:58to determine the minimal residual disease.
- 03:01Negative complete response rates.
- 03:03Another key secondary objectives,
- 03:05including progression free survival,
- 03:07overall survival,
- 03:07duration of MRD.
- 03:09Negative state. This is the overall
- 03:12study design. This study was
- 03:14quite inclusive in that this study
- 03:17included all patients with high risk
- 03:20definition by any of these criteria,
- 03:22including Mayo Clinic,
- 03:24but Seamus Spanish high risk criteria
- 03:27they've defined by flow cytometry based
- 03:30on a barren plasma cell expression
- 03:32as well as Raj Kumar along Grennan
- 03:36Mateus criteria which include plasma
- 03:38cell percentage level of protein.
- 03:40Humana paresis as well as cytogenetic
- 03:43and imaging abnormalities so
- 03:45patients on this study received the
- 03:48induction therapy with carfilzomib,
- 03:50REVLIMID dexamethasone combination.
- 03:51For eight cycles of therapy followed
- 03:54by Lenalidomide maintenance with their
- 03:56usual 20 day cycles for up to two years,
- 03:59followed by observation at
- 04:01every three month interval,
- 04:02with annual staging imaging.
- 04:05Patients in this protocol.
- 04:07Preceded with stem cell harvest.
- 04:09After four cycles of therapy,
- 04:11bone marrow was monitored for MRD
- 04:14assessment with flow cytometry and
- 04:17PET CT scan imaging was incorporated
- 04:20for response assessment at the end
- 04:22of induction and then annually.
- 04:24Overall, 54 patients enrolled and treated.
- 04:27And what's what's interesting is
- 04:29that 37% of patients displayed high
- 04:32risk cytogenetic features and all
- 04:34of the patients met criteria for
- 04:36high risk smoldering based on these
- 04:39definitions and what's remarkable with
- 04:41this study is that sustained MRD,
- 04:43negative complete remission rates were
- 04:46on the order of 70% in this cohort and
- 04:49at two years and five years of survival,
- 04:53sustained MRD negative complete
- 04:54responses remained at 1779 and
- 04:5753% of patients respectively.
- 04:59And overall response rates with
- 05:01this regimen were 100% with 72%
- 05:04achieving complete response and
- 05:0694% of very good partial response.
- 05:08Overall survival and progression
- 05:10free survival are not reached,
- 05:12but at 80 or milestone,
- 05:1491% of patients remain progression free.
- 05:17The treatment emergent adverse events were,
- 05:19as would be expected for this
- 05:22triplet combination.
- 05:23Specifically,
- 05:23side effects of special interest in the
- 05:26form of cardiac toxicity were seen in.
- 05:29Only two 2 patients with heart
- 05:32failure and 4% of this population.
- 05:34So overall this data show that
- 05:36carfilzomib REVLIMID dexamethasone
- 05:38regimen is highly potent.
- 05:40An leads to very deep responses in high risk,
- 05:43smoldering multiple myeloma.
- 05:45Providing further background for this
- 05:47evolving treatment landscape for early
- 05:49intervention and treatment of high risk,
- 05:51smoldering patients who have high risk of
- 05:54progression of greater than 75% / 2 years.
- 05:57Next I would like to highlight
- 06:00the updates on the griefing trial,
- 06:03Griffin trial, early safety,
- 06:05and efficacy data were published
- 06:07in 2020 in Blood Journal,
- 06:10and as you know,
- 06:11this combination of this trial compare
- 06:14daratumumab over RVD compared to the
- 06:17old RVD triplet standard of care.
- 06:20This update focuses on the data
- 06:23on overall responses and MRD,
- 06:25negative responses at the end of
- 06:2712 months of maintenance therapy.
- 06:30So as you know,
- 06:31the trial enrolled patients with
- 06:33newly diagnosed transplant eligible
- 06:34multiple myeloma with good performance
- 06:37status and preserved kidney function.
- 06:39Patients were randomized in one to one
- 06:42fashion to either old standard of care,
- 06:44RVD or they daratumumab CD.
- 06:4638 monoclonal antibody in combination
- 06:48with standard RVD triplet.
- 06:50After four cycles of induction
- 06:51therapy patients went on to
- 06:53receive autologous stem cell transplant.
- 06:56This was followed by two more cycles of
- 06:59consolidation therapy with the same regiment.
- 07:01Followed by REVLIMID maintenance as a
- 07:03single agent as per standard of care.
- 07:06Versus daratumumab REVLIMID combination
- 07:08as maintenance strategy and as
- 07:10you can see with ongoing therapy,
- 07:12responses depend at the end of 12 months
- 07:15of maintenance with Dara, RVD regimen.
- 07:1763% of patients achieved stringent
- 07:19complete responses,
- 07:20and this was significantly better
- 07:21as compared with RVD triplet and in
- 07:24general response rates and depth of
- 07:26responses were greater with Dara,
- 07:28RVD regimen at all treatment time points,
- 07:31and the same is true for the sustained
- 07:34MRD negativity lusting for greater
- 07:36than six months and greater than.
- 07:3812 months with RVD regimen compared
- 07:41to the triplet.
- 07:44The 24 months progression free survival
- 07:47and overall survival data are reported
- 07:50and at this time point and follow up.
- 07:53These are not significantly
- 07:55different statistically,
- 07:55between the two arms, however,
- 07:58predicted PFS appears promising.
- 07:59As you can see, the overall survival
- 08:02curves are overlapping, however,
- 08:04more more time and follow up is required
- 08:07for further read out of the data.
- 08:10With regard to treatment,
- 08:12emerging adverse events,
- 08:13the hematologic toxicity.
- 08:15Of grade three and four
- 08:17degree were higher in Dara,
- 08:19RVD treatment arm as compared
- 08:21to the RVD triplet.
- 08:22Other non hematologic toxicities or also
- 08:25slightly higher compared to the RVD triplet,
- 08:28especially the upper.
- 08:29Story infections were higher with
- 08:31quadruplet versus triplet combination,
- 08:32however, when it comes to grade 3.
- 08:35Four pulmonary side effects
- 08:37such as severe pneumonia,
- 08:38they were not statistically
- 08:40significantly different,
- 08:41so this regimen based on
- 08:43this face to randomize study,
- 08:45offers a very potent
- 08:47frontline induction regimen.
- 08:48Which has been adopted in clinical
- 08:50practice as their reasonable
- 08:52frontline regiment for newly
- 08:53diagnosed patients who are transplant
- 08:55eligible with multiple myeloma.
- 08:57Next I would like to highlight the
- 09:00updates of the Forte trial presented
- 09:03by Doctor Francesca Gay from Italy.
- 09:06As you know,
- 09:0840 trial randomized 474 patients with
- 09:10newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
- 09:13These were transplant eligible an
- 09:15younger than 65 years of age and they
- 09:19were randomized to one of the three arms,
- 09:23either carfilzomib,
- 09:24cyclophosphamide,
- 09:24dexamethasone or carfilzomib REVLIMID.
- 09:26Dexamethasone followed by transplant.
- 09:28Or carfilzomib REVLIMID dexamethasone
- 09:30for 12 cycles without autologous stem
- 09:32cell transplant and at the randomization.
- 09:35Part 2 patients with randomized to
- 09:37either single agent REVLIMID as per
- 09:40standard of care or combination of
- 09:42carfilzomib produce some inhibitor with
- 09:45REVLIMID as part of maintenance therapy.
- 09:48And at this 45 months of median
- 09:50follow up they sustained MRD negative
- 09:53complete responses for KRD 12 CRV
- 09:57with transplant was 68% and KRD
- 10:00412 cycles without transplant or
- 10:0254% and the same is true for the
- 10:06progression free survival data
- 10:08which favors the KRD plus autologous
- 10:11stem cell transplant at 78% and
- 10:14the next best is KRD 12 cycles.
- 10:18Where is carfilzomib,
- 10:20cyclophosphamide dexamethasone is inferior.
- 10:23And this data present overall very
- 10:25good partial response rates for the
- 10:28time point of randomization Part 2.
- 10:30As you can see the very good partial
- 10:33risk responses on the order of 9694%
- 10:36and what was observed is that MRD
- 10:38conversion rate from MRD positive to
- 10:40negative was significantly higher
- 10:42among patients who received carfilzomib
- 10:45REVLIMID combination for maintenance.
- 10:47The overall survival curves here are
- 10:49really striking for both KRD with
- 10:52transplant as well as KRD 12 regimen
- 10:54and slightly inferior for carfilzomib
- 10:57cytoxan Barbara Cytoxan regimen.
- 10:59So overall,
- 11:00this data show that carfilzomib REVLIMID
- 11:03dexamethasone induction is a very
- 11:05potent regiment for frontline therapy
- 11:07for patients with newly diagnosed
- 11:09multiple myeloma who are transplant eligible.
- 11:12Specifically,
- 11:12KRD improved with transplant,
- 11:14improved progression free survival
- 11:16as compared to the other carbs.
- 11:19And the responses were deeper and depend
- 11:22with continuous KRD maintenance regimen.
- 11:25Next I would like to highlight
- 11:27the report on the
- 11:29elderly non transplant eligible patients
- 11:32with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
- 11:35The phase three term Alene trial out of
- 11:39Europe presented by Doctor Thierry Facon
- 11:42who presented the data on this study
- 11:45where 705 patients were randomized to
- 11:48either exacum Abe REVLIMID, dexamethasone,
- 11:51triplet combination versus placebo.
- 11:53REVLIMID. Dexamethasone doublet
- 11:54combination in this transplant ineligible.
- 11:57Elderly population.
- 11:58And the study demonstrated median
- 12:01progression free survival of
- 12:03significantly improved to 35 months
- 12:05compared to 21 months in the triplet
- 12:08versus the tablet RRD combination.
- 12:10And this translated into deeper.
- 12:13Higher rates of deeper responses
- 12:15in the form of higher rate of very
- 12:18good partial response as well
- 12:20as higher rate of complete.
- 12:22An stringent complete remissions
- 12:24SOA based on this data exactly.
- 12:26My problem in Texas Methadone appears
- 12:28to be a reasonable frontline regiment
- 12:30for elderly newly diagnosed subjects
- 12:32who are ineligible for transplant,
- 12:34and it provides a convenient way of
- 12:37all oral combination which may be
- 12:39particularly relevant in the covid era.
- 12:42And finally,
- 12:43I would like to highlight some of
- 12:45the preclinical data which were
- 12:47presented during scientific session,
- 12:49first out of Mayo Clinic Doctor
- 12:52Bakes Eagles experience,
- 12:53who presented the role of dichro gut
- 12:55microbiome in shaping myeloma evolution.
- 12:58In this study,
- 12:59they used VK mix transgenic mice
- 13:01which spontaneously developed
- 13:02democracies and myeloma.
- 13:04The first observation was out of Italy,
- 13:07where they observed that the
- 13:09rate of progression to myeloma
- 13:10was significantly delayed.
- 13:12In the pathogen, free vivarium,
- 13:14and so Mayo Clinic,
- 13:16Arizona joined forces with Jackson
- 13:17Labs and Debrided this Miz and
- 13:20subsequently transplanted them with
- 13:22primary myeloma samples and they
- 13:24treated mice with antibiotics or not.
- 13:26And they observed significant
- 13:28percentage increase in survival
- 13:30of mice treated with antibiotics
- 13:33as compared with the control.
- 13:35Later they identified that Prevotella,
- 13:37one of the microorganisms in the gut
- 13:41microbiome significantly impacted
- 13:42the burden of multiple myeloma.
- 13:45So this data hypothesize that the
- 13:47certain micro bacteria in the gut
- 13:50microbiome such as prevotella Trib,
- 13:53actor bacteria, Bacteroides,
- 13:54and Clostridia, can provide uncontrolled.
- 13:56Stimulation of the TH.
- 13:5817 responses and regulatory T cell
- 14:01responses and this signal from got
- 14:03may translate into increased child 17.
- 14:06Another immune changes which further
- 14:08promote growth of myeloma cells and
- 14:10progression of disease and this
- 14:12concept provides important Ave for
- 14:14the therapeutic interventions for
- 14:16prevention of disease and finally
- 14:18elegant work presented by Doctor Irene
- 14:20Ghobrial of Dana Farber who performed
- 14:23single cell RNA sequencing on the
- 14:25spectrum of specimens from healthy
- 14:27volunteers to M Gus to smoldering myeloma.
- 14:30Two full blown clinical multiple myeloma
- 14:33and highlighted the composition and
- 14:36evolution of immune microenvironment
- 14:37changes during which with time and
- 14:40progression of disease there is
- 14:42significant increase in the numbers
- 14:44of regulatory T cells as well as
- 14:47increased percentage of NK cells
- 14:50that predominantly express CX,
- 14:52CR4 and CX3 CR,
- 14:53as well as increased subsets of CD16
- 14:55monocytes and this data provides
- 14:58significant background through
- 14:59which one could design immune
- 15:02therapeutic interventions to possibly
- 15:04eradicate irregular.
- 15:05Regulatory T cells and other
- 15:07immune interventions in order to
- 15:09prevent the disease progression.
- 15:10So with that I will stop and would
- 15:13ask Doctor Terry Parker to highlight
- 15:15the updates on relapse refractory
- 15:17multiple myeloma Andale amyloidosis.
- 15:19Thank you. Thank
- 15:23you to Talia.
- 15:52Unless you get the top.
- 15:59I will be reviewing updates
- 16:04from ASH and relapse refractory
- 16:10multiple myeloma anael Android.
- 16:15I have no disclosures.
- 16:16There are multiple abstracts this year
- 16:19in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma.
- 16:21They range from new combinations
- 16:23of FDA approved agents to immuno
- 16:25therapies with antibody drug,
- 16:27conjugate San, bispecific,
- 16:28T cell engager's.
- 16:30I will start by reviewing two
- 16:32abstracts utilizing currently
- 16:33FDA approved agents in selinexor.
- 16:35An easy Texas map.
- 16:37Stamp was a phase one B2 clinical
- 16:39trial that evaluated varying doses
- 16:42and dose schedules of selinexor,
- 16:45pomalidomide and dexamethasone.
- 16:46Primary objective of the trial which
- 16:49identify the recommended phase two dose
- 16:52and evaluate the overall response rate.
- 16:5465 patients were accrued 20
- 16:56at the recommended phase.
- 16:58Two dose.
- 16:59The meeting number of prior therapies
- 17:02was three and 75% of patients
- 17:04were refractory to Lenalidomide.
- 17:06The table here illustrates the very.
- 17:08Doses of weekly selinexor with the
- 17:11recommended phase two highlighted in red,
- 17:13which ends up being 60 milligrams of
- 17:16selinexor weekly comma, 4 milligrams.
- 17:1821 out of 28 days and X 40 milligrams weekly.
- 17:23The overall response rate was 54.3% in
- 17:25palm naive patients with progression
- 17:27free survival of 12.3 months.
- 17:30There overall response rate decreased
- 17:32to 35.7% and those that were
- 17:34Palmer factory in patients dosed
- 17:36at the recommended phase two dose.
- 17:39The overall response rate was 60%
- 17:41treatment related adverse events
- 17:42were similar to what has been
- 17:44seen with selinexor in Palm.
- 17:46These included nausea,
- 17:47mild depression and fatigue.
- 17:48I chose to highlight this trial as
- 17:51it presents an all oral regimen
- 17:53which is appealing to our patients,
- 17:55especially in the relapse refractory setting.
- 17:57I also wanted to point out the different
- 18:00selinexor dosing compared to the storm trial,
- 18:02which was 80 twice a week and
- 18:04the Boston clinical trial,
- 18:06which was 100 milligrams weekly.
- 18:08There was an improved overall response rate.
- 18:10Free survival compared to historical
- 18:13data with palm index which is
- 18:1531% informance respectively.
- 18:16In patients refractory to
- 18:19Lenalidomide and worked as a matter.
- 18:21Doctor Martin presented at the interim
- 18:23analysis from the Akuma trial patients
- 18:26were eligible for this trial if they
- 18:28had one to three prior lines of therapy.
- 18:30No prior history of carpal zenmap,
- 18:32and we're not refractory to anti CD 38.
- 18:36302 patients were randomized to
- 18:37receive isatuximab carfilzomib dex
- 18:39versus carfilzomib dex with the
- 18:41primary endpoint of progression free
- 18:43survival and secondary endpoints
- 18:44of overall response.
- 18:46VGP RCR emoji negativity rates from
- 18:48those not familiar East Texas map is
- 18:51an IgG one monoclonal antibody against CD.
- 18:5338 minimal residual disease was assessed
- 18:55for this trial in the bone marrow aspirates.
- 18:59If patients who achieved at least Avicii
- 19:01PR by next generation sequencing at
- 19:0310 to the minus mix sensitivity level.
- 19:06Yeah, central lab.
- 19:08The best overall response was 86.6%,
- 19:11with 72.6% of patients achieving
- 19:13AVGPR and 39.7 as CR.
- 19:16In these attacks,
- 19:17map ARM MRD negativity rates
- 19:19were 41.4% compared to 22.9%.
- 19:22The CR rate of 39.7% was felt to
- 19:25be under estimated given Eastern
- 19:27text mode interference.
- 19:29Therefore, for 27 patients with an ear,
- 19:32see are defined as a positive
- 19:36immunofixation for IgG cap on I.
- 19:39Or potential CR were evaluated.
- 19:40The Anaspec 15 of the 27 were
- 19:43found to be M protein negative.
- 19:45Increasing the CR rate to 45.8%.
- 19:49So talking points from this
- 19:50trial without the combination of
- 19:52East Texas map carfilzomib index
- 19:54resulted in improvement in overall
- 19:56response rate CR V GPR in Aberdeen.
- 19:59Negativity rates had an
- 20:00impressive CR rate of 45 point 8%.
- 20:03Again in patients with one to three
- 20:05prior lines of therapy and MRD,
- 20:08negative negative CR rate of 24%.
- 20:10MRD negativity in both arms was
- 20:12associated with a longer progression,
- 20:14free survival and the potential
- 20:16to achieve MRD negativity,
- 20:17which should be independent of
- 20:19adverse prognostic characteristics.
- 20:20Catches ISS stage three disease.
- 20:22We don't involvement or a gain of 1 Q 21.
- 20:26And moving on to the Immunotherapy's
- 20:29Doctor Kumar presented first in
- 20:31human phase one trial of MEDI 2228,
- 20:33which is an antibody drug conjugate
- 20:36that targets the extracellular
- 20:38domain of human be CMA.
- 20:39The primary endpoints were
- 20:41safety and tolerability.
- 20:42The trial enrolled 82 patients
- 20:4441 in the expansion.
- 20:46Copart two patients had great for
- 20:48thrombocytopenia at the 0.2 mix perchik dose.
- 20:51Therefore, the maximum tolerated dose
- 20:53was 0.1 for mixer cake given Q three weeks.
- 20:56Treatment related adverse events
- 20:58included photophobia.
- 20:59Thrombocytopenia rash dry on pleural
- 21:01effusion at the maximum tolerated dose,
- 21:03the overall response rate was 66% with
- 21:06the duration of response at 5.9 months.
- 21:09Unlike the currently FDA approved
- 21:11ADC of Blanton map,
- 21:12no Keratopathy was observed.
- 21:14However,
- 21:14photophobia credit 60% of patients at
- 21:17the 0.1 four make for kiddos with a
- 21:20median time to onset of two months,
- 21:23which is roughly 2 cycles.
- 21:25This did improve in 37% of
- 21:27patients and resolved in for.
- 21:29Is holding up the medication
- 21:31this agent is moving forward,
- 21:33looking at varying adjusting schedules.
- 21:36They must pass it.
- 21:37Ash this year was for the
- 21:39bispecific T cell engager's.
- 21:41This chart is adapted from 1% in by
- 21:44Doctor Chary during his educational
- 21:46session on you know, therapies.
- 21:47Here.
- 21:48I have listed all the bytes
- 21:50that RBC may targeted that were
- 21:52presented at this year's ASH.
- 21:54Therefore,
- 21:54oral abstracts and one poster
- 21:56do just time constraints.
- 21:57I will be just talking about to Clifton AB,
- 22:01which had the largest patient accrual.
- 22:04So as mentioned to custom AB is
- 22:06ABC May CD three byte 84 patients
- 22:09received an Ivy dose with 44
- 22:11receiving subcutaneous dosing.
- 22:13The median number of prior treatments
- 22:16for these patients were six and
- 22:1881% were triple class refractory.
- 22:20By that I mean they were refractory
- 22:22to an image of proteasome inhibitor,
- 22:25an anti CD 38 monoclonal antibody.
- 22:27Step up Justin was utilized prior
- 22:29to the first full dose to decrease
- 22:32the risk aside entirely syndrome.
- 22:34Notice TRS in subsequent slides,
- 22:36adverse events and no see Russ did
- 22:39occur in 55% of patients with the
- 22:41Ivy dose and in 50% receiving the
- 22:44subcutaneous dose with the median time
- 22:46to onset of one to two days respectively.
- 22:49However, no Grade 3 events were noted.
- 22:52Neurotoxicity hurting 5%
- 22:53with two Grade 3 events.
- 22:55Injection site reactions in 32 and there
- 22:57was one death attributed to pneumonia.
- 23:00The recommended phase two dose based on
- 23:02setting safety advocacy and pharmacokinetics.
- 23:04Is 1500 micrograms per kilogram at this test,
- 23:07the overall response rate was 73%,
- 23:10as outlined here,
- 23:11with the median time to responsive one month.
- 23:15So again, take home points.
- 23:16The recommended phase two dose moving
- 23:19forward will be 1500 micrograms
- 23:20per kilogram weekly, subcu.
- 23:22This was a heavily pretreated
- 23:24patient population,
- 23:25as 39% work at refractory,
- 23:27and in this patient population that
- 23:29overall response rate was 73%,
- 23:31which is very encouraging with 23% CR
- 23:33and 55% VG PR at the recommended phase,
- 23:36two dose eat at the 11 evaluable patients
- 23:39were energy negative and there's a
- 23:42potential for durable responses as
- 23:4415 out of 16 patients were alive.
- 23:46No progression at the median
- 23:48follow up at 3.9 months.
- 23:50The other two by specifics that
- 23:52I would like to highlight include
- 23:55a bispecific targeting STR.
- 23:57H5 which stands for St receptor
- 23:59homolog 5 which is a type one membrane
- 24:02protein expressed on plasma cells with
- 24:05near 100% prevalence for myeloma.
- 24:07So Savasta map is this bispecific
- 24:10antibody that targets approximately
- 24:11the domain of FCR H5 in C3.
- 24:14Given Ivy Q,
- 24:15three weeks again with one step up,
- 24:18dose 53 patients were accrued
- 24:20with 51 being a valuable.
- 24:22And 21% of now had prior PC may
- 24:25directed their adjusting schematic
- 24:26is illustrated here and the maximum
- 24:29tolerated dose was not reached.
- 24:31Therefore,
- 24:31dose escalation is on going in
- 24:34this trial safety to note 76%
- 24:36of patients did have CR,
- 24:38S 28% had another event which
- 24:40occurred in the setting of CR S
- 24:43and 23% infusion related reaction
- 24:45in individuals who received at
- 24:473.6 milligrams step up.
- 24:48This at least a 20 milligram full dose.
- 24:51The overall response rate was.
- 24:5353% there was a 63% overall response
- 24:56rate in patients who had received
- 24:59prior PCMI directed therapies.
- 25:02So this represents a new
- 25:03target for multiple myeloma,
- 25:05with the maximum tolerated
- 25:06dose not being reached.
- 25:08Importantly,
- 25:08Seeress did occur and 76% of patients,
- 25:11but there was only one grade three event,
- 25:14which was an elevated transaminase
- 25:16that resolved encouragingly responses
- 25:18were observed in patients who
- 25:19had prior be CMA as we will need
- 25:21therapies for patients who progress
- 25:23after car T and Adcs responses
- 25:25were seen irrespective of target
- 25:28expression levels in patients
- 25:29that have been assessed to date.
- 25:31The last by specific is till cotton
- 25:34AB which binds GPRC 5D which stands
- 25:37for G protein coupled receptor family.
- 25:39See Group 5 member in D which is an
- 25:42orphan receptor whose transcript is
- 25:44expressed in primary myeloma cells.
- 25:46This again was a phase one dose
- 25:49escalation study to identify
- 25:50the recommended phase.
- 25:52Two dose then rolled 157 patients.
- 25:54102 received an Ivy dose
- 25:56and 55% cutaneous dose.
- 25:57The dose in schematic is outlined
- 26:00here with the highlighted in green.
- 26:02Being the recommended phase,
- 26:04two dose of 405 micrograms per
- 26:06kilogram and looking at key safety
- 26:08side of Henry Lee syndrome as seen
- 26:10in 68% of patients but no grade
- 26:13three at the recommended phase,
- 26:14two dose T styles duration 38 an
- 26:17injection site reaction in 21.
- 26:19The overall response rate was
- 26:2069% of the recommended phase.
- 26:22Two dose, and 200 Tupac
- 26:24refractory patients did respond.
- 26:25The medium kind response was
- 26:27one month similar to what's been
- 26:30shown with other BI specifics.
- 26:32Take her messages for this trial.
- 26:34Is that again,
- 26:35this represents another two new target
- 26:37in my lumbar for advice specific,
- 26:39it is a subcutaneous dose which
- 26:41may allow for Q two week dose sing,
- 26:43which would be more patient,
- 26:45convenient as the other bytes I've
- 26:47discussed are all weekly dosing.
- 26:49Again, responses were observed
- 26:50in heavily pretreated patients,
- 26:51including those where pepper
- 26:53factory and there's a possibility
- 26:54of durable responses as there was
- 26:56no progression at the medium,
- 26:58follow up at 3.7 months and they know.
- 27:02Have a duration of response
- 27:04that's over two years.
- 27:06The time remaining I'll just quickly
- 27:08touch upon three trials for a lamb alloy,
- 27:11two in the frontline setting
- 27:12and one in relapsed refractory.
- 27:14The Andromeda's trial was a phase
- 27:16three randomized trial for newly
- 27:19diagnosed Ale Android patients.
- 27:20Trainer idiot patients were
- 27:22randomized to receive cyber deed.
- 27:24Cytoxan process of dexamethasone
- 27:26plus or minus daratumumab which
- 27:28is a CD 38 monoclonal antibody.
- 27:31The primary endpoint of this trial was met,
- 27:34which was haematological CR at
- 27:3656.9 versus 18%.
- 27:38I want to evaluate the impact of
- 27:40achieving a deep reduction in serum
- 27:42free light chains on a composite
- 27:44endpoint of major organ deterioration
- 27:46progression free survival in order
- 27:48to evaluate at the production the
- 27:50evaluated a involved free light
- 27:52chain of less than 20 milligrams
- 27:54per liter and the difference between
- 27:56the involved versus uninvolved free
- 27:58light chain of less than 10 and what
- 28:01they showed it is patients with in
- 28:03the daratumumab arm achieved all of these.
- 28:0671.3% of patients had an involved.
- 28:08Reaching less than 20 and 65.6% had
- 28:11the difference being less than 10.
- 28:13This resulted in improved major organ
- 28:15deterioration progression free survival,
- 28:17which is illustrated in the graph here.
- 28:20So conclusion for this trial.
- 28:22The addition of daratumumab decide
- 28:24where D resulted in improvement in
- 28:27haematological response utilizing
- 28:28a variety of measurements.
- 28:30This resulted in improved rates of
- 28:32cardiac in renal organ response.
- 28:34In addition,
- 28:35haematological progression was
- 28:36improved 23 versus 47% and rates
- 28:39of cardiac arrhythmia failure will
- 28:41also improve with the addition
- 28:43of daratumumab at 3% versus 13%.
- 28:45This represents potential and you
- 28:47standard of care for these patients
- 28:50without friends. Treatment for Alienware.
- 28:52The second trial apps for Android is Cal 101,
- 28:56which is a nail Android 5 World reactive IgG.
- 28:59One monoclonal antibody.
- 29:00This was first mentioned at ASH in 2017.
- 29:02This is a phase two study.
- 29:04Determine the recommended phase
- 29:06three dose when given in combination
- 29:08with cyber DM Part A or with cyber D
- 29:10plus daratumumab in Part B patients
- 29:12were started at a dose
- 29:13of 500 mics per meter squared and
- 29:15this was escalated to the maximum
- 29:17tolerated dose with 1000 mics per
- 29:19meter squared weekly for four weeks
- 29:21and then every other week there
- 29:23were no infusion related reactions.
- 29:24Treatment related adverse events were all
- 29:27less than grade two and included rash,
- 29:29nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
- 29:31I've seen here also in patients
- 29:33with renal involvement had an organ
- 29:35response defined as a percent
- 29:37decrease from baseline in 24 hour
- 29:39approaching area of greater than 30%,
- 29:41and there was one cardiac response.
- 29:43I probably MP.
- 29:44So this compound is moving forward
- 29:46at the recommended Phase 3 to 7000
- 29:49mixed per meter squared weekly,
- 29:51and then times for than every other week.
- 29:54There are currently two phase
- 29:55three trials open,
- 29:56one for male stage 38 patients and
- 29:59the other for stage 3B patients,
- 30:01so I'm sure we will be hearing
- 30:03more about this compound to come.
- 30:05The last trial in relapsed refractory
- 30:07Elana Lloyd was with ice attacks
- 30:09map and this results from the
- 30:11Southwest Oncology Group 1702 trial.
- 30:13All patients who have received
- 30:14at least one prior line of.
- 30:16Therapy.
- 30:17And hadn't had one organ system involvement.
- 30:21Received text messages to 20
- 30:22minutes per meter squared.
- 30:24The primary endpoint was
- 30:25haematological overall response rate,
- 30:27which was 77% with a one year estimated.
- 30:30Overall survival of 97% when
- 30:32your estimated progression.
- 30:33Free survival of 85%.
- 30:34The safety and response data was
- 30:36similar to that previously reported
- 30:38with Darren to in our monotherapy
- 30:40in relapsed refractory Elana LA
- 30:42Justice and provides another
- 30:44treatment option for these patients.
- 30:46With that I will finish and pass it along
- 30:49to doctor Know Far Bar to finish up.
- 31:03and when the focus for the most
- 31:06part on car T cell therapies for
- 31:10relapsed refractory myeloma patients
- 31:12and then close with a few comments
- 31:17on autologous stem cell transplant
- 31:19for the newly diagnosed patients.
- 31:23So I want to remind everyone that
- 31:25patients who are we have been
- 31:28refractory to image producer members.
- 31:30An anti CD 30 antibodies have extremely
- 31:33poor prognosis with immigration,
- 31:35median progression,
- 31:35free survival of two to six months
- 31:38and most of them not living past
- 31:41one year and some terminology to
- 31:43remind you as those are refractory
- 31:46to the three classes of drugs or
- 31:49called triple or factory and those
- 31:51are refractory to two images.
- 31:53Two peas and anti clone the anti CD 38
- 31:57antibodies are called penta refractory.
- 31:59I'll be using those terminologies
- 32:02in my next slide.
- 32:04So the first study I'm going to
- 32:07be highlighting here is using
- 32:09the car T cell called Ida cell.
- 32:12In short,
- 32:13formerly known as BB 2121 an
- 32:15If you see here the construct,
- 32:18it has a binding domain against
- 32:20the CMA on the tumor cell and the
- 32:23intracellular domain includes the
- 32:25costimulatory molecule form 1B B.
- 32:27This was a phase one study and study design.
- 32:31Patients underwent local pheresis
- 32:32and then the cell product was
- 32:35taken to manufacturing.
- 32:36And then delivered back to the patient's car.
- 32:39T cell infusion before the patient
- 32:42gets the infusion, they get lifted,
- 32:44depleting therapy with food,
- 32:46European and cytoxan.
- 32:47And this is pretty routine
- 32:49schema for most Corti studies.
- 32:52In this study there were 62 patients.
- 32:55Majority of the patients received the
- 32:571:50 and the 450 million cells per cagey.
- 33:01This was a heavily pretreated population
- 33:03with median line of prior therapy of 670%.
- 33:07Being triple refactoring 27% had high
- 33:10risk cytogenetics and 37% or high
- 33:14risk by having extramedullary disease.
- 33:18So looking at the safety and efficacy,
- 33:20all patients have cytopenias and this
- 33:22is from the link for depleting therapy
- 33:25which is routinely used for Carty.
- 33:27I'm more focusing going to be
- 33:29focusing on this CRS decided kind
- 33:32release in German that I cans,
- 33:34which is the neurotoxicity we
- 33:35see with car T cell therapies,
- 33:38so 75% of the patients had CRS with
- 33:41about 6% having Grade 3 and above.
- 33:43In terms of the neurotoxicity,
- 33:45which can manifest as an several Catholic
- 33:48picture, but can be as severe as.
- 33:50Brain edema seizures 34%.
- 33:53I can't with very rare incidents of
- 33:59having Grade 3 or above less than 2%.
- 34:03Infections are very common in
- 34:05this patient population.
- 34:07Is we all know and 75% had infections
- 34:10with 23% being Grade 3 or above.
- 34:14Now look at the efficacy,
- 34:16it's quite impressive with an
- 34:18overall response rate of 76%.
- 34:21In this relapse population with the
- 34:23CR rate of 33% at the median Phillip.
- 34:27And that the response rate was
- 34:29dose dependent.
- 34:30So with higher doses they saw a
- 34:33higher overall response rate and
- 34:35the median follow up of 18 months.
- 34:37The great meeting duration of
- 34:40response was about 10 months and
- 34:42this was not affected by age,
- 34:44extramedullary disease stage
- 34:45and 50% of responders retained
- 34:47the response at over two years.
- 34:50This graph here shows you that the
- 34:54deeper responses actually lead to
- 34:56longer duration of response with those
- 34:58with CR exemplified by the blue line.
- 35:01Here having a median duration of
- 35:04response of almost 15 months.
- 35:06The median progression free survival was
- 35:0988 months with a very impressive meeting
- 35:13overall survival of 30 four months.
- 35:16Perhaps these patients were able
- 35:19to then get further treatments to
- 35:21lead to this impressive overall
- 35:23survival in this patient population.
- 35:25The next Accardi study is the
- 35:27car to Tud one study,
- 35:29and this uses a different car T product
- 35:32called still to sell it 2 bonds to be CMA,
- 35:34but it has two binding domains.
- 35:36As you can see here,
- 35:38and it also uses a four 1B B like
- 35:41the Ida cell.
- 35:42This study there was close to
- 35:45100 patients enrolled with a
- 35:48median follow up of 12.4 months,
- 35:51also heavily pretreated population
- 35:53with the meeting lines of prior
- 35:56therapy of 687% were triple refractory
- 35:58with 42% being penta refractory.
- 36:0123% high recited genetics and
- 36:0313% and extramedullary disease.
- 36:07Now let's look at the toxicity of cell
- 36:09to cell. So very high rates of CRS.
- 36:11Nearly all patients got this,
- 36:13but for the most part they were
- 36:15grade one and grade two with
- 36:16only 5% having Grade 3 or above.
- 36:18As you can see,
- 36:19there is 70% use of totsuzen Maps,
- 36:21but they were even using the dose
- 36:24who's map for some of the great
- 36:26ones which we do sometimes do.
- 36:27I can't see Neurotoxicity was seen at
- 36:3016% with two percent Grade 3 or above,
- 36:33which is similar to the prior study as well.
- 36:36They do comment on this other nurse
- 36:39Texas City that is more delayed and also
- 36:42sometimes not reversible like that.
- 36:44I can occur in about 12% of the
- 36:47patients in this involved movement
- 36:49or neurocognitive changes.
- 36:50There are investigating this further
- 36:52in in their subsequent studies as well.
- 36:54There is 20% of Grade 3 and
- 36:57above infections an.
- 36:58Of their 14 deaths,
- 36:596 or related to sell to sell
- 37:01what stands out in this study.
- 37:03It also is that there was a later onset
- 37:06of CR S with a median of seven days
- 37:08compared to two and other studies.
- 37:10They hypothesize this is because of
- 37:13the timing of the T cell expansion.
- 37:15Now the efficacy is very impressive,
- 37:18with an overall response rate
- 37:20almost 196.9% with the stringent
- 37:22CR of 67% on high rates of MRD,
- 37:25negativity responses are ongoing
- 37:27in 72% of patients.
- 37:29They have not reached their
- 37:31median progression free survival,
- 37:33and they estimated the 12 month
- 37:35progression free survival at 76%.
- 37:38As you can see here by the next graph
- 37:41that the progression free survival
- 37:43was improved for those patients who
- 37:46were in deeper response like that.
- 37:49Sponse as opposed to the very
- 37:52good partial response.
- 37:54So.
- 37:55I've showed you two Carty studies
- 37:57that have very impressive results.
- 38:00However,
- 38:00there is still room for
- 38:02improvement on car T
- 38:03cell products.
- 38:04Of course, not everyone responds.
- 38:06Not everyone responses deeply,
- 38:08and we still have significant
- 38:10toxicity that we need to mitigate.
- 38:12So not all T cells are created equal as
- 38:15you move toward the more early T cell,
- 38:19the T cells in earlier development,
- 38:21for example, like the steps on memory T cell,
- 38:24these memory like.
- 38:26Cells have certain qualities
- 38:27that make them attractive.
- 38:29There long lived.
- 38:30They have ability to self renewal
- 38:33and in others Carty studies these
- 38:35memory like T cells correlated with
- 38:38peak expansion and sustain response.
- 38:40Additionally,
- 38:41there's potential for less
- 38:43toxicity because there's gradual
- 38:45differentiation into the effectors,
- 38:46thus more gradual tumor killing
- 38:49and perhaps less static on release.
- 38:52So this concept was used in
- 38:55the next study that PBC MA 101
- 38:58prime Phase 1 two study.
- 38:59They use this technology called piggyback,
- 39:02which preferentially makes
- 39:03stem cell memory T cells.
- 39:05It's made with transposons,
- 39:06which are plasmids instead of lentivirus,
- 39:08which is what the prior
- 39:10Carty product we're using,
- 39:12and this one has a large carrying
- 39:15capacity so we can deliver
- 39:17a lot of genetic material.
- 39:20This too was directed against BCM of course.
- 39:23So this is the study design.
- 39:25I don't want to go into detail,
- 39:27but I want to highlight a few things.
- 39:30Not only were they looking at
- 39:32different doses who dose escalation,
- 39:33but they had the various cohorts
- 39:35as you can see here.
- 39:37Now I want to point out that there are
- 39:39using Lenalidomide in different time points,
- 39:41not only for anti tumor activity but also
- 39:44for improvement of T cell functionality.
- 39:46So what I do on the focus on is the
- 39:48response in Texas City on the 1st graph.
- 39:51Do you see different overall response rate?
- 39:54In different doses and they range from
- 39:57anywhere 40s to 70% overall response rates.
- 39:59They did not feel like there was a
- 40:03dose dependent relationship here.
- 40:04Thought that we're seeing a good
- 40:07responses even with low doses
- 40:09and marked late you see that they
- 40:12were really low rates of CRS.
- 40:14It's 17%.
- 40:15So this exemplifies how a manufacturing
- 40:18technique can manipulate the T cell
- 40:21product to optimize the toxicity
- 40:23and efficacy and potentially bring
- 40:26this cellular therapy to the
- 40:28outpatient setting at some point.
- 40:32There are potential issues with car T cells,
- 40:35right?
- 40:35So it takes time to manufacture the cells.
- 40:38Some patients don't have that time.
- 40:40You know we see this patient
- 40:42needs treatment right away.
- 40:44We can't schedule the Pheresis
- 40:46in manufacturing and so forth.
- 40:47Additionally,
- 40:48the quality of autologous T cells
- 40:50might be decreased in this relapse,
- 40:52refractory patient population and
- 40:54re treatment can be difficult,
- 40:56sometimes hard to collect enough
- 40:58cells and be able to expand them.
- 41:01So this brings us to the off the
- 41:04shelf Alo 7:15 Carty targeting
- 41:06the CMA in this Phase one study.
- 41:10This is the construct here.
- 41:13What the the two key attributes is
- 41:15a knockout of CD 52 which allows
- 41:17for selective room for depletion.
- 41:19All lymphocytes have CD 52 by
- 41:21the way and it
- 41:23also has a knock out of the
- 41:25TCR gene to eliminate GV HD.
- 41:28It used a slightly different
- 41:29regiment for Lymphodepletion,
- 41:31so it's flu side plus the anti
- 41:33CD 52 versus Cyan anti CD 52 but
- 41:36the one I'm highlighting here.
- 41:38The flu sign anti CD 52 is the one
- 41:41they're presenting now but there is
- 41:43potential for maybe a less toxic went
- 41:46for the cleaning therapy here so also
- 41:49heavily pretreated population and
- 41:51almost all the more pent pent Xposed
- 41:54about half of them had high recited
- 41:56genetics and 23% and extramedullary disease.
- 41:58There were 31 patients available for safety.
- 42:01And they had 47% serious with no grade.
- 42:04Three. No, I can't.
- 42:06And no GV HD.
- 42:08So a very promising toxicity profile.
- 42:10Again, this is a very good drug that I
- 42:13think we're going to see more studies
- 42:16with an more follow up will tell
- 42:19us more information, of course. Um?
- 42:22The efficacy of alacarte in 10 patients,
- 42:26so they had various doses.
- 42:29There are temptations in the dose Level
- 42:323 and it follow up of 3.2 months.
- 42:36The overall response rate was 60%
- 42:38with a very good partial response
- 42:42or higher or 40%.
- 42:44Now on the shift gears,
- 42:46a little bit to the good old autologous
- 42:50stem cell transplant for myeloma.
- 42:53This is an update of the FM 2009 study
- 42:56that was originally presented in 2017,
- 43:00so now it's a follow up of almost 90
- 43:03months just to remind people to phase
- 43:06three study newly diagnosed patients.
- 43:09Arm A is looking at testing RVD
- 43:12induction followed by maintenance
- 43:14Lenalidomide for one year,
- 43:16and RB is RVD induction followed
- 43:19by transplant,
- 43:20followed by RBD consolidation
- 43:22and then maintenance.
- 43:23In the limit for a year so their updated
- 43:27median progression free survival was
- 43:3047.3 months in arbutus to transmit arm
- 43:34versus 35 months in the non transplant arm.
- 43:38They had very nice overall response.
- 43:41I'm sorry very nice eight year.
- 43:44Median overall survival
- 43:45about 6060% in both groups,
- 43:46so they were not difference.
- 43:48There is no difference there and I
- 43:50just want to highlight that about 1/3
- 43:53of the patients in the transplant
- 43:55arm did not relapse after 8 years of
- 43:58follow up and these are patients that
- 44:00are not being treated continuously.
- 44:02They're only getting one year of maintenance.
- 44:05This is not the practice we do here
- 44:07in America and I think there's going
- 44:09to be more information with the US
- 44:12portion of this study looking at continuous.
- 44:15REVLIMID and whether that is
- 44:17going to affect this progression.
- 44:20Free survival benefit.
- 44:21Now,
- 44:21in terms of MRD transplant did improve
- 44:25the energy negativity rate from 20 to
- 44:27about 30% and in this graph you see
- 44:31the progression free survival based
- 44:33on MRD negative state and the transplant.
- 44:36So in red you see those
- 44:38patients who are MRD negative.
- 44:40While I'm blue there emordi positive.
- 44:44And you can see that the transplant,
- 44:47exemplified by the solid line
- 44:50improved progression free survival
- 44:52even in the MRD negative patients.
- 44:55Next study I'm going to highlight
- 44:57was already presented by
- 44:58Natalia, but I want to focus on one aspect.
- 45:01Here is the Forte study.
- 45:03Not going to go into the design.
- 45:05This was already discussed,
- 45:06but one take home messages this
- 45:09so while you see in the first
- 45:11graph here the response rate,
- 45:12the response rates,
- 45:13and an MRD negative status was similar
- 45:16in KRD versus kerdi plus transplant.
- 45:18The one year sustain energy
- 45:19negativity was higher for the kerdi,
- 45:21plus transplants as you can
- 45:23see here in the second graph.
- 45:26And this translated into improved
- 45:28progression free survival for all subgroups,
- 45:30including the high risk patients.
- 45:32So I think to conclude on on this
- 45:35section is that transplant is
- 45:37still a great treatment for upfront
- 45:40patients who can tolerate it.
- 45:42And with this I will close my
- 45:45talking will move towards our Q&A.
- 45:50Great thank you know far and
- 45:53thanks everybody for beautiful presentations.
- 45:55I do not see any active questions.
- 45:58Doctor up they had an earlier question
- 46:01which I answered the smoldering
- 46:03trial date that I presented.
- 46:05Patients who are newly diagnosed as
- 46:08opposed to those in long term follow up.
- 46:11I'd like to hear opinion from
- 46:14Sabrina what's been your strategy
- 46:16in terms of managing high risk,
- 46:19smoldering patients in your?
- 46:20Practice, thank you to tell you,
- 46:23I think that's an important question,
- 46:25and obviously one where
- 46:26multiple combinations are
- 46:27being studied. You know, I think with
- 46:30the data available on Lenalidomide
- 46:31or Lenalidomide, dexamethasone.
- 46:32I think I've still had some
- 46:35pause in terms of the lack of
- 46:37overall survival data available
- 46:38in terms of benefit, you know,
- 46:41I think it's important to acknowledge
- 46:43that our discussion of treatment in
- 46:45patients who are asymptomatic is is
- 46:47very much different than patients
- 46:49who have active or clinical myeloma.
- 46:51And so I think the importance of
- 46:54overall survival benefit is really
- 46:56important to include in that discussion.
- 46:58So I would say my practice has
- 47:01been to discuss the data available,
- 47:03including the trials that are
- 47:05looking at different combinations
- 47:07outside of Lenalidomide,
- 47:08but I would say in general I
- 47:11continue to observe most patients.
- 47:13Thank you, ultimately we do need to
- 47:16understand more about the biology of
- 47:18disease of each individual case to
- 47:20address the prevention of progression.
- 47:23Another question comes through the
- 47:25chat question for I would posit
- 47:27it to Doctor Parker.
- 47:28How would you view the sequencing and
- 47:31where should we position car T cells
- 47:34versus the bispecific antibodies?
- 47:36Given that the response rates
- 47:37are quite significant for both?
- 47:41Yeah, I think that's a very good question.
- 47:44Very difficult one to answer and also be
- 47:47interested to hear no cars take as well.
- 47:50You know currently we don't have any trials.
- 47:53Obviously comparing head to head
- 47:54car T versus the specifics and
- 47:57looking at the BI specifics that are
- 47:59against BC mayor targeting the CMA.
- 48:01They do have somewhat similar response rates
- 48:04an it's but I really think how we position
- 48:08him is going to come down to one safety.
- 48:11What is the cytokine release?
- 48:12What is the neurotoxicity in
- 48:14these agents and then two is?
- 48:16Can we move party to the
- 48:18outpatient setting with these?
- 48:20Engineer does know for discussed
- 48:21bites are a little bit maybe a little
- 48:24bit more user friendly I guess.
- 48:26Is there off the shelf versus the
- 48:28Carty has to be manufactured so also
- 48:31keeping in mind it may come down
- 48:33to one patient needs therapy now
- 48:35device specifics that are targeting
- 48:37other things besides BC MA did have
- 48:40activity in those patients who had.
- 48:42Why are car T so it is feasible
- 48:44that you could do party followed by
- 48:46a fight with a different targets.
- 48:48But again I think we need a lot
- 48:51more data know for what
- 48:53is your take.
- 48:53Yeah I think you're right.
- 48:55I think we're still early.
- 48:57Unfortunately it's hard to compare
- 48:58head to head these studies because
- 49:00some of these are off the shelf.
- 49:02Some of these need time so it's study to do.
- 49:05I think one thing to keep in mind is
- 49:08that bites you have frequent dosing,
- 49:10whereas Carty is at one time.
- 49:12Infusion so that's been
- 49:14attractive for patients.
- 49:15Also, it's important to remember
- 49:16that you know for bites you you
- 49:19need a good indulgence T cells.
- 49:21So it went in terms of sequencing.
- 49:23Someone were to sequence.
- 49:24You want to give some time if someone
- 49:27gets it Carty and they're getting one for
- 49:30depleting therapy in their progressing,
- 49:32giving them a bite is not
- 49:34going to be very useful.
- 49:36So waiting a few months for improvement
- 49:38in their in their counsel lymphocyte
- 49:40count would be important to remember.
- 49:42Although I know these patients
- 49:44are very sick and some treatment.
- 49:46Thank you Terry and no far another
- 49:49question from Doctor Gowda.
- 49:51In the with the advent of BCM a
- 49:54targeted drug conjugates antibodies.
- 49:56How do how do we select again BC MA targeted?
- 50:01Whether we propose using an antibiotic
- 50:03conjugates or at the CMA cart.
- 50:06I think to some of this
- 50:08you already alluded to,
- 50:10but any further comments?
- 50:16I again I think it's hard.
- 50:19I think whenever we choose a
- 50:21treatment for our patients,
- 50:23it's looking at the patient looking the
- 50:25disease and looking at the convenience
- 50:28and toxicities of the drug and an adjusting
- 50:30it to them individual preferences.
- 50:33Another question from Doctor Gorshin
- 50:35with the updated Griffin data,
- 50:37does this impact our decision upfront
- 50:39therapy for high risk disease.
- 50:41KRD reverses Dara RVD.
- 50:43I think KRD still remains a very powerful
- 50:46induction therapy with very good.
- 50:48Fresh listen with sustain standards
- 50:50with continued therapy off.
- 50:52Note when you look at the composition
- 50:55of patients in the trials,
- 50:57the port a trial had about 30% of
- 51:00high risk patients that they all
- 51:02equally benefited with Dara RVD.
- 51:04This is a face to randomization
- 51:07and there were 15% of patients who
- 51:10harbored high risk cytogenetic profile
- 51:12and in their forest plots of data
- 51:14which I didn't present in the slides.
- 51:17It appeared that as though higher
- 51:19risks are genetic profile patients.
- 51:22May not have experienced the same
- 51:24magnitude of benefit in terms
- 51:27of deeper responses,
- 51:29so I would say there seem to
- 51:32be equally potent regiments.
- 51:34My own.
- 51:35Practice preference has been KRD for
- 51:37high risk patients generally and this
- 51:40I hear from some other institutions as well,
- 51:43but again practice patterns very in
- 51:45more data on the long term follow up
- 51:48is needed from the Griffin trial to
- 51:51you know where we don't have yet the
- 51:54progression free survival benefit.
- 51:55Eras for the for the four day trial,
- 51:59we have significantly longer follow up,
- 52:01so I think both regiments could be
- 52:04used interchangeably depending on the
- 52:07practice pattern off the institution.
- 52:09One question from Doctor Gowda.
- 52:13At relapse, for instance,
- 52:15if a patient was previously exposed
- 52:18to anti BCM, a targeted therapy,
- 52:20what is the BCM? A expression?
- 52:23Has this been looked at in the literature?
- 52:26I would ask either one of the speakers,
- 52:29but perhaps more so so far.
- 52:32So I know they are looking at it.
- 52:35I I don't recall if they published it,
- 52:37but there's a lot of and they're
- 52:39also looking at Solomon Soluble.
- 52:41Be CMA in the blood, but I can't recall.
- 52:46What's published? Yeah,
- 52:48I don't believe there is
- 52:50any published data on this.
- 52:52To my knowledge.
- 52:53I know each individual company is
- 52:55conducting their Olalla Sideclick
- 52:56preclinical and correlative
- 52:58studies to examine this,
- 52:59but not entirely clear yet.
- 53:03So with that, I think we're
- 53:05a four minutes after the hour.
- 53:07Thank you for the excellent
- 53:09presentations. All of you.
- 53:11I really appreciate everybody joining.
- 53:13I hope this was an informative
- 53:15session and hope to see you all
- 53:17for the subsequent sessions of
- 53:19the ash highlights. Thank you.
- 53:22Have a great day everybody.
- 53:24Thank you for organizing doctors item.
