Background: Elranatamab (PF-06863135) is a bispecific molecule that activates and redirects the T-cell mediated immune response against multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by expression of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). MagnetisMM-1 (NCT03269136), the ongoing Phase 1 first-in-human study for elranatamab, was designed to characterize safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and efficacy for patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory MM. Methods: Elranatamab was given subcutaneously (SC) at doses from 80 to 1000µg/kg either weekly or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v4.03) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) by American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy criteria. PK, cytokine and soluble BCMA profiling, and lymphocyte subset analyses were performed. Response was assessed by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was assessed by next generation sequencing at a sensitivity of 1×10-5 in accordance with IMWG criteria. Results: A total of 55 pts received single-agent elranatamab SC at a dose ≥215μg/kg as of 1-Nov-2021. Median age was 64 (range 42-80) years, and 27% of pts were Black/African American or Asian. Median number of prior regimens was 6 (range 2-15), 91% were triple-class refractory, 56% had prior stem cell transplantation, 27% had high cytogenetic risk, and 22% received prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The most common TEAEs regardless of causality included CRS, neutropenia, anemia, injection site reaction, and lymphopenia. With pre-medication and a single priming dose (600µg/kg or 44mg), the overall incidence of CRS at the recommended dose (1000µg/kg or 76mg) was 67% and limited to Grade 1 (33%) or Grade 2 (33%), with no events Grade 3 or higher. Exposure was dose dependent and Q2W dosing achieved exposure associated with anti-myeloma efficacy. Cytokine increases occurred with the first dose and were reduced by pre-medication. Soluble BCMA decreased with disease response, elranatamab therapy was associated with increased peripheral T cell proliferation, and median time to response was 36 days (range 7-73). With a median follow-up of 8.1 months (range 0.3-21) and including only IMWG confirmed responses, 31% of pts achieved complete response or better and the overall response rate was 64% (95% CI 50-75%). For responders (n = 35), median duration of response was not yet reached, but the probability of being event-free at 6 months was 91% (95% CI 73-97%). Single-agent elranatamab induces durable clinical and molecular responses, and updated data including MRD assessment will be presented. Conclusions: Elranatamab shows a manageable safety profile and achieves durable clinical and molecular responses for pts with relapsed or refractory MM. Clinical trial information: NCT03269136.
