TALVEY - Key Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria in the MonumenTAL-1 Study Protocol

Last Updated: 07/26/2024

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, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI), an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) monoclonal antibody.1-4

CLINICAL DATA – Monumental-1 study

MonumenTAL-1 (MMY1001; NCT03399799, NCT04634552) is a phase 1/2 study of TALVEY in patients with RRMM. The study was conducted in 3 parts; the primary objectives are listed below.1-5

  • Part 1 (phase 1; dose escalation): to characterize the safety of TALVEY and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)s 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 a summary of the study design for the phase 2 portion (part 3) of the study.

Study Design/Methods (Part 3)

  • Patients were enrolled into 1 of the following 3 cohorts5:
    • Cohort A: 0.4 mg/kg SC QW, not previously exposed to T Cell Redirection (TCR) therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor modified T-cells (CAR-T) or bispecific antibodies
    • Cohort B: 0.4 mg/kg SC QW or 0.8 mg/kg SC Q2W, have been previously exposed to TCR therapies
    • Cohort C: 0.8 mg/kg SC Q2W, not previously exposed to TCR therapies
  • Key Inclusion Criteria (Part 3)
    • ≥18 years of age5
    • Documented initial diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) per International Myeloma Working Group criteria5
    • Measurable disease: MM must be measurable by central laboratory assessment5:
      • Serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level ≥1.0 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or
      • Light chain multiple myeloma without measurable disease in the serum or the urine: Serum immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda FLC ratio.
      • If central laboratory assessments are not available, relevant local laboratory measurements must exceed the minimum required level by at least 25%.
    • Prior treatment5:
      • Cohort A and Cohort C: ≥3 prior lines of therapy that included at least one PI, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and not previously exposed to T-cell redirection therapies.
      • Cohort B: ≥3 prior lines of therapy that included at least one PI, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and have been previously exposed to T-cell redirection therapies.
    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2.5
    • Hematology and chemistry parameters at screening are presented in Table: Clinical Laboratory Values at Screening.5

Clinical Laboratory Values at Screening5

Platelets
50×109/L (must be without transfusion support or platelet-stimulating factor in the 7 days prior to the laboratory test)
Absolute Neutrophil Count

Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase
≤3.0 × ULN
Creatinine clearance
³40 mL/min/1.73 m2 based upon a modified diet in renal disease formula calculation
Total bilirubin
≤2.0 × ULN; except in subjects with congenital bilirubinemia, such as Gilbert syndrome (in which case direct bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN is required)
Corrected serum calcium
≤14 mg/dL (≤3.5 mmol/L) or free ionized calcium ≤6.5 mg/dL (≤1.6 mmol/L)
Abbreviations: RBC, red blood cell; ULN, upper limit of normal.
  • Key Exclusion Criteria (Part 3)
    • Prior grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome (per Lee Criteria 20146) related to any T-cell redirection or any prior G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) targeting therapy5
    • Prior antitumor therapy prior to the first dose of the study drug is as follows5:
      • Gene-modified adoptive cell therapy (eg, CAR-T, natural killer [NK] cells) within 3 months
      • Targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, or treatment with an investigational drug or an invasive investigational medical device within 21 days or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is less
      • Monoclonal antibody treatment for MM within 21 days
      • Cytotoxic therapy within 21 days
      • Proteasome inhibitor therapy within 14 days
      • Immunomodulatory agent therapy within 7 days
      • Radiotherapy within 14 days. However, if palliative focal radiation is used, the patient is eligible irrespective of the end date of radiotherapy.
      • Cohort A and Cohort C: exposed to a CAR-T or T-cell redirection therapy at any time
      • Cohort B: T-cell redirection therapy within 3 months
    • Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks or as recommended by the product manufacturer prior to the first dose, during treatment, or within 100 days of the last dose of TALVEY.5
    • Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies should have resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 or less except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy.5
    • Received a cumulative dose of corticosteroids equivalent to ≥140 mg of prednisone within the 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (does not include pretreatment medication).5
    • Received either of the following5:
      • An allogenic stem cell transplant within 6 months before the first dose of the study drug. Patients who received an allogeneic transplant must be off all immunosuppressive medications for 6 weeks without signs of graft versus host disease.
      • An autologous stem cell transplant ≤12 weeks before first dose of study drug.
    • Central nervous system involvement or clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma. If either is suspected, negative whole brain magnetic resonance imaging and lumbar cytology are required.5
    • Plasma cell leukemia (>2.0 x 109/L plasma cells by standard differential), Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes) syndrome, or primary amyloid light chain amyloidosis.5
