CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic, Therapy, Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacoeconomic
To demonstrate the superiority of one dose of BL-8040 + G-CSF over placebo + G-CSF to mobilize ≥6.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg in up to 2 apheresis sessions in preparation for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) subjects.
Secondary objectives 5
- - To demonstrate the superiority of one dose of BL-8040 + G-CSF over placebo + G-CSF to mobilize ≥2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg in 1 apheresis session in preparation for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) subjects.
- - To demonstrate the superiority of one dose of BL-8040 + G-CSF over placebo + G-CSF to mobilize ≥6.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg in 1 apheresis session in preparation for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) subjects.
- - To descriptively assess the comparability between the effects of BL- 8040 + G-CSF and placebo + G-CSF in time to neutrophil engraftment, platelet engraftment and the later of the two.
- - To descriptively assess the comparability between the effects of BL- 8040 + G-CSF and placebo + G-CSF on graft durability at 60 days, 100 days, and 6, 9 and 12-months post-transplantation.
- - To demonstrate that the use of (one or two doses) BL-8040 + G-CSF over placebo + G-CSF results in a reduction in resource use and cost savings.

| 1 | Part 1 An open label lead-in period (Part 1) was designed to ascertain the dose of BL-8040. A total of 12 subjects were enrolled to Part 1 to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the treatment with G-CSF ~10 μg/kg/day (and maximum of 15 μg/kg) and BL-8040 1.25 mg/kg to achieve the goal collection of ≥6 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg. Following an independent DMC review of data for 11 subjects for safety and 10 subjects for efficacy, the DMC recommended to proceed to Part 2.
All subjects treated during Part 1 continued to be followed up for 5 years or until early termination (whichever came first). This part has been completed in August 2023.
Study Periods:
Screening: Within 28 days prior to starting mobilization regimen (Day 1)
Mobilization and Apheresis: From Day 1 to the day before myeloablative chemotherapy (Visit 9).
Chemotherapy and Transplantation: From first day of myeloablation (Visit 9) to the first day of platelet and neutrophil engraftment (whichever comes later) after transplantation.
Short-Term Graft Durability: From the first day after engraftment to Day 60 and 100 after transplantation.
Long-Term Graft Durability: From 100 days after transplantation until 12 months after transplantation.
Long-term Survival: Including OS, RFS and ARR from 12 months after transplantation.

| 2 | Part 2 Following the successful completion of Part 1, a total of 122 subjects was randomized into Part 2 of the study, which employed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled design to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BL-8040 + G-CSF as compared to Placebo + G-CSF.
Subjects were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either BL-8040 or placebo, respectively, plus G-CSF. Randomization was stratified by remission status (Complete remission (CR) vs. Partial Remission (PR))a and baseline platelet count (<200 x 10^9/L or ≥200 x 10^9/L).
Subjects underwent mobilization with G-CSF ~10 μg/kg (and maximum of 15 μg/kg) subcutaneously (SC) daily in the morning for up to 8 days. Beginning on the evening of Day 4, subjects received either a single injection of BL-8040 or placebo SC. In the morning of Day 5, a 5th dose of G-CSF was administered prior to apheresis. Subjects then underwent first apheresis per institutional protocol (4 blood volumes ±10% /apheresis). In the event that the subject did not reach the collection goal for mobilization (≥6.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg), on Day 6, a 6th dose of G-CSF was administered prior to the second apheresis session in an effort to reach a total of ≥6 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg.
If the subject did not reach the collection goal for mobilization (≥6.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg), a second dose of BL-8040/placebo was administered in the evening of Day 6 and a 7th dose of G-CSF was administered in the morning of Day 7 prior to the third apheresis session. If the subject still did not reach the collection goal for mobilization (≥6.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg), a fourth and final apheresis was performed on Day 8 with an 8th dose of G-CSF administered prior to the apheresis, in an effort to collect a total of ≥6 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg, but at least ≥ 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg from the combined collections. Subjects who failed to collect the minimum required CD34+ cells/kg were subsequently managed per investigator preference in accordance with standard of care guidelines. They may have reattempted mobilization per standard of care after no less than 7 day “rest/wash-out” period (7 days from the last dose of BL-8040/placebo). Subjects who failed to collect enough CD34+ cells in four apheresis sessions were continued to be followed according to the protocol schedule of visits.
Subjects randomized to Part 2 will continue to be followed until September 2028 (-30 days). By September 2028, the first randomized patient will complete approximately 8.5 years of follow-up and the last randomized patient will complete approximately 7 years of follow-up.
Study Periods:
Screening: Within 28 days prior to starting mobilization regimen (Day 1)
Mobilization and Apheresis: From Day 1 to the day before myeloablative chemotherapy (Visit 9)
Chemotherapy and Transplantation: From first day of myeloablation (Visit 9) to the first day of platelet and neutrophil engraftment (whichever comes later) after transplantation.
Short-Term Graft Durability: From the first day after engraftment to Day 60 and 100 after transplantation.
Long-Term Graft Durability: From 100 days after transplantation until 12 months after transplantation.
Long-term Survival: Including OS, RFS and ARR from 12 months after transplantation; Until September 2028, for a maximal period of 8.5 years from randomization.
