TALVEY - Clinical Outcomes of Subsequent Therapies Following TALVEY

Last Updated: 05/22/2024

SUMMARY

  • MonumenTAL-1 (MMY1001) is an ongoing, open-label, phase 1/2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of TALVEY in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) after ≥3 prior lines of therapy (LOTs), including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (anti-CD38) monoclonal antibody.1-3
    • Sanchez et al (2023)4 presented (at the 65th American Society of Hematology [ASH] Annual Meeting) the clinical outcomes of subsequent therapies in patients with no prior T-cell redirection (TCR) therapy following TALVEY treatment in the MonumenTAL-1 study. Responses were observed in patients receiving TCR therapies following TALVEY treatment. Overall, 35% of patients who received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) and 30% of patients who received non-G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) as the first LOT after TALVEY treatment achieved a complete response or better (≥CR).
  • Shrestha et al (2024)5 presented a case series analyzing the effectiveness of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-based therapy in patients with RRMM who were previously treated with TALVEY. At a median follow-up of 9.5 months (range, 6-24), overall response rate (ORR) was 60% and median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.5 months (range, 1-10) for the first BCMA therapy post TALVEY.

CLINICAL DATA - Monumental-1 study - phase 2

MonumenTAL-1 (MMY1001; clinicaltrials.gov identifiers: NCT03399799, NCT04634552) is a phase 1/2 study of TALVEY in patients with RRMM.2,3

The study was conducted in 3 parts; the primary objectives are listed below1:

  • Part 1 (phase 1; dose escalation): to characterize the safety of TALVEY and determine the recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) and schedule.
  • Part 2 (phase 1; dose expansion): to further characterize the safety of TALVEY at the RP2Ds.
  • Part 3 (phase 2): to evaluate the efficacy of TALVEY at the RP2Ds.

Shown below is the summary of the study design and results from part 3 of the phase-2 portion of the MonumenTAL-1 study.

Study Design/Methods (Phase 2)

Patients were enrolled into 1 of the following 3 cohorts6:

  • TCR naive: 0.4 mg/kg subcutaneous (SC) weekly (QW) (n=143), not previously exposed to TCRs such as CAR-T or bispecific antibodies (BsAbs; prior BCMA antibody-drug conjugate [ADC] allowed).
  • TCR naive: 0.8 mg/kg SC once every other week (Q2W; n=154), not previously exposed to TCRs (prior BCMA ADC allowed).
  • Prior TCR: 0.4 mg/kg SC QW or 0.8 mg/kg SC Q2W (n=70), previously exposed to TCRs.
  • Key eligibility criteria (Part 3; phase 2):
    • Measurable multiple myeloma (MM)4
    • ≥3 prior LOTs, including a PI, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.3
    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-2.4
  • Primary endpoint: ORR.1
  • Key secondary endpoints: duration of response, PFS, overall survival, safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics.1
  • Dosing
    • Following 2-3 step-up doses, patients received TALVEY 0.4 mg/kg SC QW or 0.8 mg/kg SC Q2W.4

Sanchez et al (2023)4 evaluated the clinical outcomes of subsequent therapies in patients with no prior TCR following TALVEY treatment in the MonumenTAL-1 study. This included patients who went on to receive subsequent TCR therapies.

Study Design/Methods

  • Of the 297 patients in MonumenTAL-1 who had no prior TCR (0.4 mg/kg QW cohort, n=143; 0.8 mg/kg Q2W cohort; n=154), 162 patients who received ≥1 subsequent therapy after TALVEY were analyzed.4
  • Subsequent therapy, start and end dates of therapy, and ORR on subsequent therapy (based on investigator-reported assessment) were recorded.4

Patient Characteristics and Subsequent Therapies Received

Subsequent Therapies Received
Timing of Subsequent Therapies
  • Across all the therapies, the median time from treatment with TALVEY to the start of the first subsequent therapy was 1 month.4
    • Patients discontinued TALVEY due to disease progression (80.9%), investigator decision (13.6%), adverse events (4.3%), or withdrawal from MonumenTAL-1 (1.2%). Patients who discontinued TALVEY due to disease progression or adverse events received first subsequent therapy after a median of 0.7 months and 4.9 months, respectively.
  • The median time to next treatment from the first to second subsequent therapy was 1.0 month; from the second to third subsequent therapy was 0.4 months and from the third to fourth subsequent therapy was 0.4 months.4

Efficacy

Response Outcomes
  • At the data cutoff date of October 2023, in patients who received subsequent therapies, the median treatment duration with TALVEY was 5.8 months. ORR with TALVEY was 62.3% (≥CR, 20.4%), which was lower than that of the overall population (>71%).4
  • Responses with first line of subsequent therapies are presented in Table: MonumenTAL-1: Responses With First Line of Subsequent Therapy.4
  • ORRs in patients who received subsequent therapy with anti-Fc receptor-like protein 5 (FcRH5) BsAbs, anti-BCMA ADC-based therapy, and other immune-based therapies were 75.0% (n/N=3/4), 33.3% (n/N=3/9), and 0.0% (n/N=0/2), respectively.4
  • Among both responders and nonresponders to CAR-T and non-GPRC5D BsAbs as subsequent therapies, response to prior TALVEY was similar, indicating response to TALVEY did not determine response to subsequent TCR therapies.4
  • In patients receiving subsequent TCR therapies, responses were achieved regardless of line of subsequent therapy, or interval from prior TALVEY. Details are described in Table: MonumenTAL-1: ORR by Line of Subsequent T-cell Redirection Therapy and Respective Intervals Between Subsequent Therapies.4

CLINICAL DATA – CASE REPORTS

Shrestha et al (2024)5 presented a case series analyzing the effectiveness of BCMA-based therapy in patients with RRMM previously treated with TALVEY.

Study Design/Methods

  • This retrospective study included patients with RRMM (N=10) who received BCMA-based therapy subsequent to TALVEY progression at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
  • Eligible patients were previously treated with a PI, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
  • PFS was estimated from the start of BCMA-based treatment to disease progression, death, or last follow-up.

Efficacy

  • ORR was 60%, and median PFS was 4 months (range, 1-15) in the 10 TALVEY-treated patients.
  • At a median follow-up of 9.5 months (range, 6-24), ORR was 60% and median PFS was 5.5 months (range, 1-10) for the first BCMA therapy post TALVEY. At data cutoff, 3 patients who received the first BCMA agent post TALVEY have not progressed yet.

Safety

  • TALVEY treatment resulted in mostly grade 0-1 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).
  • The treatment with different subsequent therapies post TALVEY showed varied CRS and ICANS profiles in patient groups. Treatment sequence and adverse events in patients are presented in Table: Treatment Sequence and CRS/ICANS.
