Testing Teclistamab (TECVAYLI) in Combination With Iberdomide for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab in treating multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Iberdomide is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as cereblon E3 ligase modulators. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as teclistamab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving iberdomide in combination with teclistamab may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Testing the Investigational Medication Combination of Daratumumab and Teclistamab Compared to the Usual Treatment (Daratumumab, Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone or Daratumumab, Carfilzomib, Dexamethasone) for Patients With High-risk Multiple Myeloma Refractory or in First Relapse

This phase II trial compares the effect of the combination of daratumumab-hyaluronidase (daratumumab) and teclistamab to the usual treatment of daratumumab, pomalidomide, dexamethasone or daratumumab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Teclistamab binds to B-cell maturation antigen, a protein found on some B-cells and myeloma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Pomalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells and by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Carfilzomib, a type of proteasome inhibitor, blocks the action of enzymes called proteasomes, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Giving daratumumab and teclistamab may be more effective than the usual treatment of daratumumab, pomalidomide, dexamethasone or daratumumab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone in reducing myeloma cells to undetectable levels in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

CB-839 HCl in Combination With Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the best dose of CB-839 HCl when given together with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to previous treatment. CB-839 HCl and carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving CB-839 HCl, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Multiple Myeloma (The MATCH Screening Trial)

This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

Testing the Investigational Medication Combination of Teclistamab and Pomalidomide Compared to the Usual Treatment (Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone) for Patients With Multiple Myeloma Who Have Relapsed Shortly After Treatment

This phase Ib/II trial compares the effect of teclistamab and pomalidomide to standard treatment with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Teclistamab binds to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a protein found on some B-cells and myeloma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Pomalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells and by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. Carfilzomib blocks the action of enzymes called proteasomes, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of proteasome inhibitor. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving teclistamab and pomalidomide may be safe, tolerable and improve response by lowering myeloma cells to undetectable levels when compared to standard treatment with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

Prehabilitation With Aerobic and Resistance Exercise for Improving Physical Fitness and Quality of Life Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing CAR-T Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This clinical trial evaluates whether prehabilitation with aerobic and resistance exercise improves physical fitness and quality of life outcomes in older patients planning to undergo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR-T therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. While CAR-T therapy is commonly used to treat multiple myeloma, it can result in toxicities that lead to hospitalization, nerve and muscle impairment, and decreased physical function. Prehabilitation programs use targeted interventions to improve functional status prior to medical or surgical treatments. In this study, patients participate in personalized aerobic and resistance prehabilitation activities in the weeks leading up to their CAR-T infusion. This program may improve physical fitness and quality of life, both prior to and after CAR-T infusion, in older patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Response-Based Dose Reduction of Linvoseltamab in the Treatment of Relapsed, Refractory, or Triple-Class Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of early, response-based dose reduction of linvoseltamab in the treatment of patients multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed), that does not respond to treatment (refractory), or that is resistant to three classes of therapeutic agents, including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and monoclonal antibodies (triple-class relapsed/refractory). Linvoseltamab is a bispecific antibody. Upon administration, linvoseltamab binds to the BCMA protein on cancer cells and the CD3 protein on T cells (a type of immune cell). This generates an immune response that stimulates the T cells to kill the cancer cells. Optimal dosing schedules of linvoseltamab have not yet been determined. Reducing the dosage of linvoseltamab may reduce treatment-related side effects while maintaining long-term disease outcomes.

Testing the Combination of Two Approved Drugs and One Experimental Drug in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of iberdomide in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow and are part of the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that allows the cancer cells to survive and grow. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin has been designed to attach to the BCMA protein, which may cause the myeloma cell to become damaged and die. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Iberdomide plus belantamab mafodotin may help slow or stop the growth of cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.

Isatuximab, Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies the effect of isatuximab, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Isatuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth. Pomalidomide may help shrink or slow the growth of multiple myeloma. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving isatuximab, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells.

²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 and Fludarabine Alone or in Combination With Cyclophosphamide and Low-Dose TBI Before Donor Stem Cell Transplant for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed, Recurrent, or Refractory High-Risk Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 when given together with fludarabine, alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide and low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 is a monoclonal antibody, called OKT10-B10, linked to a radioactive agent called ²¹¹At. OKT10-B10 attaches to CD38 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ²¹¹At to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy such as TBI uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 together with chemotherapy and TBI before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

CRISPR Delivered Anti-BCMA Car-T Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) delivered anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells (1XX BCMA CAR-T cells) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a person's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as BCMA, on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory by a tool called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving chemotherapy before CAR-T cells may decrease the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) in the blood and may help the 1XX BCMA CAR-T cells fight the cancer cells. Treatment with 1XX BCMA CAR-T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

Donor Immune Cells (TGFbi NK Cells) and Isatuximab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial tests the side effects and best dose of TGFbi natural killer (NK) cells (TiNK) when given together with isatuximab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to treatment (refractory). NK cells are a type of white blood cell that are known to spontaneously attack cancer cells. TiNK are NK cells made in a laboratory to have a higher response to tumor cells. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Patients also receive standard treatment (cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone) on this trial. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving TiNK and isatuximab with standard treatment may be a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Selinexor, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone With or Without Carfilzomib for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma, The SCOPE Trial

This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose and side effects of selinexor, and how well it works when given in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) and does not respond to treatment with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (refractory). Selinexor is an oral agent that blocks a protein called Exportin 1 (XPO1 or CRM1) that is abundant in a wide variety of cancers, including multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pomalidomide may stop the growth of blood vessels, stimulate the immune system, and kill cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone may lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. The addition of selinexor may allow better control of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma than is possible with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib.

Selvigaltin With Standard of Care Treatment for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of selvigaltin when given together with standard of care treatment (daratumumab-hyaluronidase, carfilzomib, dexamethasone) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Selvigaltin works by blocking the activity of a protein called galectin-3. Galectin-3 is involved in various cellular processes, including inflammation and tissue scarring, which is associated with worse outcomes in several forms of cancer. By blocking the activity of galectin-3, selvigaltin may help reduce inflammation and tissue scarring. Daratumumab-hyaluronidase is a drug composed of daratumumab and hyaluronidase. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Hyaluronidase helps deliver the daratumumab to CD38-expressing cancer cells. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving selvigaltin with standard of care treatment may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Dasatinib and Quercetin With CAR-T Therapy for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial tests how well giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Quercetin is a compound found in plants that may prevent multiple myeloma from forming. Chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine are given to help kill any remaining cancer cells in the body and to prepare the bone marrow for CAR-T therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell Therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and CAR-T cell therapy may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Alternate Doses and Dosing Schedules of Belantamab Mafodotin for Treatment of Triple-Class Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial tests alternate doses and dosing schedules of belantamab mafodotin in treating patients with triple-class multiple myeloma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (recurrent) and/or does not respond to treatment (or that has not responded to previous treatment) (refractory). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. This trial may help researchers determine if alternate doses and dosing schedules work better in preventing certain side effects, such as eye toxicity, and treating patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma.

Elotuzumab, CC-92480, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma After CD38- and BCMA-Targeted Therapies

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of CC-92480 in combination with elotuzumab and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma (MM) remains the second most common hematologic malignancy in the United States. A number of therapies have been approved for patients with MM, including CD38- and B-cell maturating antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapies (antibody and plasma cell treatments that help the body's immune system to kill cancer cells); however, patients will often relapse and become refractory to these therapies. Because of this, it is important to identify effective treatment options for patients progressing on anti-CD38 therapy and BCMA-directed therapies. Elotuzumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, which is a type of protein that can bind to other target cells to prevent them from working the way they should or cause them to act differently. Elotuzumab works by targeting a protein called SLAMF7, which is present on myeloma cells, and makes it easier for the immune system to target the cancer. CC-92480 works by binding to a protein called CRBN that triggers the breakdown of proteins: Ikaros and Aiolos, leading to cell death in multiple myeloma cells. Dexamethasone is a synthetic adrenocortical steroid, or steroid normally naturally made by the adrenal gland in the brain which has been produced in a laboratory, that helps to regulate the amount of different chemicals and water that are being processed by the kidneys. It is also used in patients with myeloma to help treat their disease. The combination of CC-92480 with elotuzumab and dexamethasone may be a safe and effective treatment when given to patients with relapsed or recurrent MM.

Mezigdomide, Carfilzomib, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma in Patients With Extramedullary Disease

This phase II trial studies how well mezigdomide/carfilzomib/dexamethasone (MeziKD) works in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and have tumors from myeloma cells outside the bone marrow in the soft tissues or organs of the body (extramedullary disease \[EMD\]). Mezigdomide blocks important processes in myeloma cells and may lead to modulation of the immune system, including activation of T-lymphocytes, and downregulation of the activity of other proteins, some of which play key roles in the proliferation of certain cancer cell types. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dexamethasone is a type of corticosteroid and is used to kill myeloma cells. It is used with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma. Giving MeziKD may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with EMD.

Elotuzumab, Daratumumab, Iberdomide, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iberdomide and how well it works in combination with daratumumab, elotuzumab, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving iberdomide in combination with daratumumab, elotuzumab, and dexamethasone may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

High Throughput Drug Sensitivity and Genomics Data in Developing Individualized Treatment in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia

This pilot clinical trial studies whether using high throughput drug sensitivity and genomics data is feasible in developing individualized treatment in patients with multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. High throughput screen tests many different drugs that kill multiple myeloma cells in individual chambers at the same time. Matching a drug or drug combination to a patient using high throughput screen and genetic information may improve the ability to help patients by choosing drugs that work well for their disease.

SX-682 in Combination With Carfilzomib, Daratumumab-Hyaluronidase, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of SX-682 in combination with standard of care treatment carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). SX-682 works by blocking certain sites on cells that suppress the ability of the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Blocking those specific sites allows other cells of the immune system to become "free" to kill tumor cells. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and tumor cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill tumor cells, while hyaluronidase helps to deliver daratumumab to CD38-expressing tumor cells through a subcutaneous injection. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is known to kill myeloma cells and is also used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to monoclonal antibodies like dratumumab and help lessen its side effects. Giving SX-682 in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase and dexamethasone may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
