Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a multi-institution, open label, phase I/II study of Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (KID) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible MM.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Multiple Myeloma	Drug: Carfilzomib; Drug: Iberdomide; Drug: Oral Dexamethasone	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a multi-institution, open label, phase I/II study of Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (KID) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible MM.

As part of a dose escalation phase, the first 10 patients will be enrolled at dose level -1 (Iberdomide 1.1 mg po daily days 1-21). Two months after the first 10 patients have completed at least 2 cycles of therapy in dose level -1, an Independent Safety Review Committee will review the safety data. Assuming the combination is determined to have adequate safety and tolerability, 10 patients will be enrolled at dose level 1 (Iberdomide 1.3 mg po daily days 1-21). After an independent safety review two months after 10 patients have completed at least 2 cycles of therapy in dose level 1, the remaining 46 patients will be enrolled at dose level 2 (Iberdomide 1.6 mg po daily days 1-21).

Treatment will continue for up to 4 cycles (28 days) at the physician's discretion followed by the Autologous Stem Cell Transplant. Patients will be followed every 3 months for up to 2 years, or until disease progression or the start of a new line of therapy.

1. Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
2. Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted.
3. Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 5. Subjects must have a documented diagnosis of MM and have measurable disease defined as:

a. M-protein (serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis (sPEP or uPEP)): sPEP≥0.5 g/dL or uPEP ≥ 200 mg/24 hours and/or b. Light chain MM without measurable disease in the serum or urine: serum immunoglobulin free light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1 or 2.

7. A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months) and must:

a. Have two negative pregnancy tests as verified by the Investigator prior to starting study treatment. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study treatment. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence from heterosexual contact.

8. Either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis and source documented) or agree to use, and be able to comply with two forms of contraception: one highly effective, and one additional effective (barrier) measure of contraception without interruption 28 days prior to starting investigational product, during the study treatment (including dose interruptions), and for at least 28 days after the last dose of CC-220 9. Male subjects must:

a. Male subjects must practice complete abstinence (True abstinence is acceptable when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a FCBP while taking CC-220, during dose interruptions and for at least 90 days following the last dose of CC-220 even he has undergone a successful vasectomy.

10. Males must agree to refrain from donating sperm while on study treatment, during dose interruptions and for at least 90 days following last dose of study treatment.

11. All subjects must agree to refrain from donating blood while on study treatment, during dose interruptions and for at least 28 days following the last dose of study treatment.

12. All male and female subjects must follow all requirements defined in the Pregnancy Prevention Program.

Note: A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.
