Teclistamab In Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia
brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of teclistamab in participants with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia who have received prior therapy. This study also aims to assess the safety and tolerability of teclistamab, how quickly and to what extent response is seen in participants, how strong any clinical benefit of teclistamab might be, and determine the response to teclistamab based on the combination of MY88 and CXCR4 mutations. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will teclistamab be effective in treating Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia? * By targeting BCMA with teclistamab, will direct Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia tumor death occur? Participants will receive teclistamab for up to 9 cycles (cycle 1 is 14 days, cycles 2-5 are 28 days, and cycles 6-9 are 56 days) or until their disease progresses, another illness or change in their condition prevents them from further receiving the treatment, they experience unacceptable side effects, they demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to receive the medication regimen, or they decide to withdraw from the study. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years from the last treatment.
detailed description
This is an open label phase II study that will enroll 24 patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia after one or more lines of systemic therapy for WM, including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody-containing regimen or a BTK inhibitor. This research study is evaluating a less frequent and shorter dosing schedule of teclistamab compared to the approved dosing schedule for individuals with multiple myeloma, which includes more frequent dosing in early treatment cycles and continuing to receive teclistamab until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. Johnson \& Johnson is supporting this research study by providing the study drug, teclistamab, and funding for the clinical trial activities. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved teclistamab for relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, but it has been approved to treat other types of multiple myeloma that has come back or been difficult to treat. Teclistamab is a type of antibody-based medication that attaches to both cancer cells and the body's T cells (a type of immune cell). By connecting the two, teclistamab bring T cells close enough to the cancer cells so they can activate and kill the cancer cells directly, without needing usual immune-system signals.
