Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

To determine the efficacy of iberdomide in combination with dexamethasone (IBERDEX cohort 1) and also in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone (IBERDARADEX cohort 2) in transplant ineligible NDMM patients, as measured by overall response rate (ORR) as well as the other response categories and especially the complete response rate (CRR) according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria 2016.

Secondary objectives 8

1. To evaluate the efficacy in terms of minimal residual disease (MRD) with especial attention to the proportion of patients in MRD negative at 12 months of starting treatment as well as patients able to sustain it over time (according to the IMWG response criteria 2016).
2. To evaluate time to event data in the overall population and in the frail and non-frail population: Progression Free Survival (PFS) (from the time of inclusion in the trial until progression and/or death) and Overall Survival (OS).
3. To evaluate the changes in the immune profiling in order to better understand the outcomes in the overall population and in the non-frail and frail subgroups of patients.
4. To assess quality of life evolution through EQ-5D/5L, QLQ-C30 and MY20 questionnaires, at baseline and at months 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24.
5. To assess the safety of the combination of iberdomide + dexamethasone and iberdomide + dexamethasone + daratumumab.
6. Time to Progression (TTP).
7. Time from start therapy to second disease progression or to the moment in which the third line of therapy starts: PFS2.
8. Overall survival (OS).

A FCBP must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test (as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study drug(s). Non-childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons): o Has not achieved menarche at some point. o Has undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy. o Has been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has not had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
