TECVAYLI - MajesTEC-2 (MMY1004) Study (Cohort A)

Last Updated: 12/17/2024

SUMMARY

  • Janssen does not recommend any practices, procedures, or usage that deviate from the product labeling or are not approved by regulatory agencies.
  • Janssen does not recommend the use of TECVAYLI or DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase) in a manner that is inconsistent with the approved labeling.
  • MajesTEC-2 (MMY1004) is an ongoing, phase 1b, multicohort study evaluating TECVAYLI in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Cohort A is evaluating the efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO and pomalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.1,2
    • D’Souza et al (2024)2 presented the preliminary efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO and pomalidomide in 17 patients at a median follow-up of 16.2 months (range, 0.5-34.5).
  • Other relevant data has been identified in addition to the data summarized above:
    • Vishwamitra et al (2024)3 presented an assessment of immunologic pharmacodynamic profiles and correlatives of response in patients from MajesTEC-2 Cohort A to better understand the potential role of combination regimens in patients with RRMM.

PRODUCT LABELING

CLINICAL DATA - MajestEC-2 STudy - Cohort A

MajesTEC-2 (MMY1004; clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04722146) is an ongoing, phase 1b, multicohort study evaluating the safety and efficacy of TECVAYLI in combination with other anticancer treatments in patients with MM.1,2

  • Cohort A is evaluating the efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO and pomalidomide in patients with RRMM who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.1,2

Study Design/Methods

  • Key eligibility criteria: ≥18 years of age; documented RRMM per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria; received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and lenalidomide.1,2
  • Key exclusion criteria: prior B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy.1
  • Dosing: Eligible patients received subcutaneous (SC) doses of TECVAYLI and DARZALEX FASPRO and oral (PO) doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone.1,2
    • TECVAYLI: step-up dosing (SUDs), followed by either 0.72 mg/kg or 1.5 mg/kg SC weekly (QW); treatment doses could be adjusted from cycle 3 onwards based on study safety evaluation team decision (eg, every other week [Q2W]). Two SUDs were administered prior to the first full dose of TECVAYLI. Premedication included glucocorticoid, antihistamine, and antipyretic at SUD and first full dose of TECVAYLI.1,2
    • DARZALEX FASPRO (given with 1 week of corticosteroid taper [steroid-free administration]): 1800 mg SC QW for cycles 1 to 2, Q2W for cycles 3 to 6, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) for cycles 7+.1,2
    • Pomalidomide: 2 or 4 mg PO starting at cycle 2.1,2
    • Dexamethasone: 40 mg PO QW for cycles 2 to 4.1,2
  • Primary endpoints: safety and dose-limiting toxicities.1,2
  • Key secondary endpoints: overall response rate (ORR), very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), complete response or better (≥CR), stringent complete response (sCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response, and pharmacokinetics.1,2

D’Souza et al (2024)2 presented the preliminary efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO and pomalidomide in 17 patients at a median follow-up of 16.2 months (range, 0.5-34.5).

Safety

Infections and Hypogammaglobulinemia
  • The incidence and types of infections are presented in Table: MajesTEC-2 Study (Cohort A): Infections (≥15% Overall).
  • One patient died due to pseudomonal bacteremia, and 3 patients died due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pneumonia.
  • No fatal infections occurred following implementation of intensified infection prophylaxis, including emphasis on immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement.
  • Hypogammaglobulinemia (reported as an AE or post-baseline immunoglobulin G [IgG] <400 mg/dL) was reported in 94.1% of patients (n=16). A total of 70.6% of patients (n=12) received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Of note, study enrollment began before IVIG was routinely recommended for patients treated with bispecific antibodies (March 2021 to August 2021).
