Project description:CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) targeting B-cell maturation antigen (TNFRSF17; BCMA) induces high overall response rates; however, relapse occurs commonly. Implicated in relapse is a reservoir of MM if cells lacking sufficient BCMA surface expression (antigen escape). We demonstrate that simultaneous targeting of an additional antigen-here, G protein-coupled receptor class-C group-5 member-D (GPRC5D)-can prevent BCMA escape-mediated relapse in a model of MM. To identify an optimal approach, we compare subtherapeutic doses of different forms of dual-targeted cellular therapy. These include (1) parallel-produced and pooled mono-targeted CAR T-cells, (2) bicistronic constructs expressing distinct CARs from a single vector, and (3) a dual-scFv "single-stalk" CAR design. When targeting BCMA-negative disease, bicistronic and pooled approaches had the highest efficacy, whereas for dual-antigen-expressing disease, the bicistronic approach was more efficacious than the pooled approach. Mechanistically, expressing two CARs on a single cell enhanced the strength of CAR T-cell/target cell interactions.

Project description:Despite the astonishing outcomes after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), most patients eventually relapse. There are only limited data available on salvage therapies following relapse after BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy. Here, we analyzed outcomes of post-CAR T-cell therapy relapse and impact of different salvage strategies in an international cohort of 139 patients (n = 130 ide-cel, n = 9 cilta-cel), receiving talquetamab (n = 28), teclistamab (n = 37), combinations of immunomodulating drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs) or CD38 monoclonal antibodies (n = 43), and others (n = 31). The median time to relapse after CAR T-cell therapy was 5 months, 53% had the extramedullary disease (EMD) at relapse, associated with dismal post-relapse outcome (P = 0.005). Overall response and complete response upon salvage therapies were 79% and 39% for talquetamab, 64% and 32% for teclistamab, 30% and 0% for IMiDs/PIs/CD38, and 26% and 3% for others (P < 0.001). Duration of response, as well as median survival, was significantly improved with bispecific antibodies (P < 0.001, respectively). Bispecific antibodies seemed to overcome the poor prognosis associated with early relapse and EMD, and were independent predictors for improved survival in multivariable analysis. In summary, these results suggest bispecific antibodies as the standard of care for relapse after CAR T-cell therapy for RRMM.

Project description:Teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) × CD3 directed bispecific antibody, has shown high response rates and durable remissions in the MAJESTEC-1 trial in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). We retrospectively assessed efficacy and tolerability in 123 patients treated at 18 different German centers to determine whether outcome is comparable in the real-world setting. Most patients had triple-class (93%) or penta-drug (60%) refractory disease, 37% of patients had received BCMA-directed pretreatment including idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) CAR-T cell therapy (21/123, 17.1%). With a follow-up of 5.5 months, we observed an overall response rate (ORR) of 59.3% and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.7 months. In subgroup analyses, we found significantly lower ORR and median PFS in patients with extramedullary disease (37%/2.1 months), and/or an ISS of 3 (37%/1.3 months), and ide-cel pretreated patients (33%/1.8 months). Nonetheless, the duration of response in ide-cel pretreated patients was comparable to that of anti-BCMA naive patients. Infections and grade ≥3 cytopenias were the most frequent adverse events. In summary, we found that teclistamab exhibited a comparable efficacy and safety profile in the real-world setting as in the pivotal trial.

Project description:We characterized the safety and efficacy of the bispecific antibody teclistamab in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Patients were pretreated with a proteasome inhibitor (PI), immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The primary endpoint was frequency and type of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in phase 1, and overall response rate (ORR; ≥ partial response [PR]) in phase 2. In phase 1, 14 patients received once-weekly (QW) subcutaneous teclistamab (0.72 mg/kg [n = 5]; 1.5 mg/kg [n = 5]; 3 mg/kg [n = 4]). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. As of April 2024, 26 phase-2 patients received the recommended phase-2 dose (QW) (RP2D: 1.5 mg/kg) of teclistamab. Biweekly (Q2W) dosing was allowed after maintaining response for ≥ 6 months. At a median follow-up of 14.32 months, ORR was 76.9% (≥ very good PR: 76.9%; ≥ complete response: 65.4%). Median duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival were not reached. Common TEAEs included CRS (grade ≤ 2), neutropenia, and infections. No patient had immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) and dose reductions. Teclistamab demonstrated deep and durable responses in Japanese patients with RRMM, consistent with the global pivotal MajesTEC-1 study, supporting the potential for a new standard of care for Japanese RRMM patients.

Project description:BackgroundTeclistamab is a T-cell-redirecting bispecific antibody that targets both CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells and B-cell maturation antigen expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. In the phase 1 dose-defining portion of the study, teclistamab showed promising efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.MethodsIn this phase 1-2 study, we enrolled patients who had relapsed or refractory myeloma after at least three therapy lines, including triple-class exposure to an immunomodulatory drug, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Patients received a weekly subcutaneous injection of teclistamab (at a dose of 1.5 mg per kilogram of body weight) after receiving step-up doses of 0.06 mg and 0.3 mg per kilogram. The primary end point was the overall response (partial response or better).ResultsAmong 165 patients who received teclistamab, 77.6% had triple-class refractory disease (median, five previous therapy lines). With a median follow-up of 14.1 months, the overall response rate was 63.0%, with 65 patients (39.4%) having a complete response or better. A total of 44 patients (26.7%) were found to have no minimal residual disease (MRD); the MRD-negativity rate among the patients with a complete response or better was 46%. The median duration of response was 18.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.9 to not estimable). The median duration of progression-free survival was 11.3 months (95% CI, 8.8 to 17.1). Common adverse events included cytokine release syndrome (in 72.1% of the patients; grade 3, 0.6%; no grade 4), neutropenia (in 70.9%; grade 3 or 4, 64.2%), anemia (in 52.1%; grade 3 or 4, 37.0%), and thrombocytopenia (in 40.0%; grade 3 or 4, 21.2%). Infections were frequent (in 76.4%; grade 3 or 4, 44.8%). Neurotoxic events occurred in 24 patients (14.5%), including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome in 5 patients (3.0%; all grade 1 or 2).ConclusionsTeclistamab resulted in a high rate of deep and durable response in patients with triple-class-exposed relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Cytopenias and infections were common; toxic effects that were consistent with T-cell redirection were mostly grade 1 or 2.

Project description:Multiple Myeloma remains incurable, and there is a need for therapies with novel mechanisms of action. Recently, B cell maturation antigen targeted therapy has demonstrated deep and durable responses in a largely treated population. However, the relapse rate of myeloma patients after anti-BCMA treatment strategies is increasing worldwide, and one of the most challenging issues for them is to choose the best therapy sequencing. After anti-BCMA treatment, retreatment with anti-BCMA drugs remains an option, but new targets are emerging strongly. One of them is G protein-coupled receptor, class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), that due to the very promising data from the use of chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) seems to be the ideal candidate in the relay of myeloma treatment at relapse. In this literature review, we discuss data from treatment with the new drugs at relapse after anti-BCMA therapies, observing an undeniable benefit from the use of drugs directed against GPRC5D.

Project description:B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) target loss is considered to be a rare event that mediates multiple myeloma (MM) resistance to anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) or bispecific T cell engager (TCE) therapies. Emerging data report that downregulation of G-protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) protein often occurs at relapse after anti-GPRC5D CAR T therapy. To examine the tumor-intrinsic factors that promote MM antigen escape, we performed combined bulk and single-cell whole-genome sequencing and copy number variation analysis of 30 patients treated with anti-BCMA and/or anti-GPRC5D CAR T/TCE therapy. In two cases, MM relapse post-TCE/CAR T therapy was driven by BCMA-negative clones harboring focal biallelic deletions at the TNFRSF17 locus at relapse or by selective expansion of pre-existing subclones with biallelic TNFRSF17 loss. In another five cases of relapse, newly detected, nontruncating, missense mutations or in-frame deletions in the extracellular domain of BCMA negated the efficacies of anti-BCMA TCE therapies, despite detectable surface BCMA protein expression. In the present study, we also report four cases of MM relapse with biallelic mutations of GPRC5D after anti-GPRC5D TCE therapy, including two cases with convergent evolution where multiple subclones lost GPRC5D through somatic events. Immunoselection of BCMA- or GPRC5D-negative or mutant clones is an important tumor-intrinsic driver of relapse post-targeted therapies. Mutational events on BCMA confer distinct sensitivities toward different anti-BCMA therapies, underscoring the importance of considering the tumor antigen landscape for optimal design and selection of targeted immunotherapies in MM.
