Primary outcome
The primary objective of the study is to determine the recommended dose and
regimen of durvalumab either as monotherapy or in combination with POM +/- dex
in subjects with RRMM.
Secondary outcome
The secondary objectives are to:
* Evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of durvalumab monotherapy and in
combination with POM +/- dex in subjects with RRMM
* Evaluate the PK of durvalumab and POM with or without dex in subjects with
RRMM
The exploratory objectives are to:
* Determine the immunogenicity of durvalumab as monotherapy and when given in
combination with POM +/- dex in subjects with RRMM
* Establish PK/Pd relationship, explore Pd, mechanistic, and predictive
biomarkers of durvalumab and POM as single agents and when given in
combination in subjects with RRMM
* Evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD) and its correlation to clinical
outcome measures
* Evaluate additional measures of efficacy of durvalumab monotherapy and in
combination with POM +/- dex in subjects with RRMM
Background summary
Durvalumab has been studied primarily in subjects with solid tumors and a
limited number of
subjects with MDS but not MM. While pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of
durvalumab as
monotherapy and in combination have been characterized in more than 500
subjects, the
paraprotein present in myeloma may alter the PK and pharmacodynamics (Pd) of
durvalumab
and higher doses may be required. The combination with POM and dexamethasone
(dex) has
not been previously studied. While the starting dose of 1500 mg once every 4
weeks (Q4W) is
justified based on PK and Pd data and the expectation is that there will not be
synergistic
toxicity, dose de-escalation may be considered. As dex may interfere with the
immune-mediated
efficacy of durvalumab but has shown efficacy when added with POM, this study
aims to
generate PK/Pd, safety, biomarker, and preliminary efficacy data with and
without the use of
dex.
Durvalumab (MEDI4736) is a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody
targeted
against PD-L1. The proposed mechanism of action for durvalumab involves immune
system
activation leading to T-cell activation and proliferation, inhibition of human
tumor growth via a
T-cell-dependent mechanism, and immune mediated killing
Pomalidomide has shown efficacy in combination with dexamethasone for RRMM
patients who
have failed prior lenalidomide and bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor (San
Miguel, 2013;
Richardson, 2014). Based on the current information on IMiDs, the combination
of durvalumab
+ POM + dex warrants further investigation in RRMM patients who have already
had prior
lenalidomide and proteasome inhibitor therapy.

Study design
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b study to determine the recommended
dose and regimen of durvalumab either as monotherapy or in combination with POM
with or without low dose dex in subjects with RRMM. The study will consist of
a dose-finding portion as well as a parallel dose-expansion portion to
determine the optimal dose and regimen. See Figure 1: Overall Study Design.
Dose-finding
The dose-finding portion of the study will use a modified Rolling 6 design
(Skolnik, 2008). Subjects will be randomized in parallel to 1 of 3 treatment
arms.
• Treatment Arm A: durvalumab monotherapy
• Treatment Arm B: durvalumab + POM
• Treatment Arm C: durvalumab + POM + dex
Expansion
All expansion decisions will be determined by the DRT after review of all
safety, and if applicable PK/Pd, and/or biomarker, and/or preliminary efficacy
data.
Intervention
The dose of durvalumab will depend on the cohort (Cohort -1: 750 mg; Cohort 1:
1500 mg; Cohort 2: 2250 mg; Cohort 3: 3000 mg). Additional/or and intermediate
dose levels may be added as deemed appropriate by the Dose Review Team (DRT).
The DRT consists of the Celgene medical monitor, Celgene lead safety physician,
Celgene biostatistician, other Celgene functional area representatives as
appropriate and site investigator and/or designees who have enrolled subjects
to the study. The DRT members are responsible for all dose level decisions.
Initially up to 6 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in the Dose-finding
Cohort 1 (durvalumab 1500 mg) of each treatment arm. Enrollment of up to 6
evaluable subjects into the Dose-finding Cohorts -1, 2, or 3 for each treatment
arm will be based on the Rolling 6 design, and only occur after review of
safety, and if applicable, PK/Pd, and/or biomarker, and/or preliminary efficacy
data by the DRT from prior cohorts.
The starting dose level of POM will be 4 mg for all cohorts.
The starting dose level of dex will be 40 mg/day (<= 75 years old) or 20 mg/day
(> 75 years old) for all cohorts
Arm A expansion:
Once the data from the Dose-finding Cohort(s) for Arm A are obtained and
reviewed, up to 12 additional subjects (a total of 18) may be enrolled into an
Expansion Cohort for Arm A.
Arm B and C expansion:
• If the Dose-finding Cohort 1 (durvalumab 1500 mg) does not exceed the maximum
tolerated dose (MTD), safety, PK/Pd, and efficacy will be further evaluated in
an Expansion of Cohort 1 dose level with up to 24 additional subjects (a total
of 30) enrolled into each Arm.
• If applicable, after data from the Arm B and Arm C Dose-finding Cohort 2
(durvalumab 2250 mg) and/or Cohort 3 (durvalumab 3000 mg) are obtained and
reviewed, up to 24 additional subjects (a total of 30) may be enrolled into any
one of the following: Arm B Cohort 2 or Arm B Cohort 3 or Arm C Cohort 2 or
Arm C Cohort 3.
Study burden and risks
The patients will have to come to the outpatient clinic more often for the
study and have to undergo a number of additional
procedures, including extra blood tests, ECGs, X-rays, bone marrow biopsies and
bone marrow aspirates. The study medication can cause side effects, but the
patients are monitored regularly (refer to section E2, E4 and E6)
