Clinical summary

Summary

This study is comparing how safe and effective a new medicine called AZD0120 is compared to standard treatments in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

AZD0120 is a type of CAR T-cell therapy, which is a personalised treatment made from a patient's own immune cells.

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two treatment groups:

  • Arm A: participants will receive AZD0120 CAR-T cells
  • Arm B: participants will receive one of the following four standard treatments as chosen by the Investigator:
    • DKd - daratumumab, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone
    • DPd - daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone
    • PVd - pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone
    • Kd - carfilzomib and dexamethasone

Conditions

This trial is treating people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma according to the IMWG diagnostic criteria
  • Documented evidence of measurable disease:

    1. Serum M-protein level ≥ 1 g/dL
    2. Urine M-protein level ≥ 200 mg/24h
    3. Serum immunoglobulin free light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio
  • Documented evidence of PD by IMWG 2016 criteria based on investigator's determination during or after the most recent line of therapy. Participants with only 1 prior line of therapy must have progressed within 47 months of a stem cell transplant, or if not transplanted, then within 42 months of starting initial therapy
  • Received 1 to 3 lines of prior therapy including an IMiD and either a PI or a CD38 antibody. Participant must have undergone at least 2 complete cycles of treatment for each line of therapy, unless PD was the best response to the line of therapy
  • Eligible to receive at least one of the standard regimens (DKd, PVd, DPd, or Kd) as determined by the Investigator.
  • ECOG performance status score of 0 to 1
  • Adequate hematology and chemistry laboratory values:

    1. Haemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
    2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1 × 10^9/L (1000 per mm3)
    3. Platelet count ≥ 75 × 10^9/L (75000 per mm3) in participants with < 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells or ≥ 50 × 10^9/L (50000 per mm3) in participants with ≥ 50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells
    4. Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 300/µL (0.3 × 109/L)
    5. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN in the absence of Gilbert's syndrome or ≤ 3 × ULN if the participant has Gilbert's syndrome. AST and ALT≤ 3.0 × ULN. CrCl by Cockcroft and Gault method ≥ 30 mL/minute

Exclusion

  • Known active, or prior history of CNS involvement or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of MM.
  • Primary amyloidosis, active plasma cell leukaemia, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia or Polyneuropathy Organomegaly Endocrinopathy M-protein and Skin (POEMS) syndrome.
  • Participants with primary refractory MM (failed to generate at least a minimal response to any prior therapy)
  • Significant neurological or psychiatric condition
  • Significant medical condition that places the participant at an unacceptable risk for treatment-related complications
  • Previously received any prior BCMA-targeted treatment
  • Previously received CAR-T or CAR-NK therapy directed at any target
  • Previously received T-cell engager therapy directed at any target
  • Previously received allogeneic stem cell transplantation at any time during prior therapy or received autologous stem cell transplantation within 12 weeks of randomization

Inclusion

  • You have had treatment, but your cancer has come back (relapsed or recurrent).
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.

Exclusion

  • You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
