CAR T: TIPS •
CAR T CELLS Viral vector
Patient own T cell
• •
Cytotoxic cytokines
scFv BCMA
Different CAR T-cell therapy products have differences in efficacy, safety, manufacturing process, and centers where they are available Ask for a referral to CAR T-cell therapy center as soon as it is possible as next treatment option (ie, before relapse)
– –
Insurance preauthorization required (weeks, maybe longer)
– –
Must be able to wait or have bridging therapy
Your own T cells are engineered and grown, which takes ≈ 4 to 6 weeks
MM cell
MM cell death
• • • •
CAR = chimeric antigen receptor.
Must have sufficient blood count and organ function to be eligible
Manufacturing CAR T-cell therapy is limited: center-specific “wait list” processes
• • •
Need to be “known” by the center. How frequently do you or your myeloma doctor need to check in with the CAR T center to let them know your status? How will this happen? Opportunity for telehealth visits? How are slots allocated? Advocate for yourself—ask for help navigating the process
In patient for ~1 week when CAR T administered Patients need a caregiver and must stay within proximity of CAR T-cell therapy center for ≈ 1 month after the infusion No driving for 8 weeks after CAR T One and done…BUT will need ongoing monitoring; some patients need transfusion support

BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES •
BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES
T cell
Cytotoxic cytokines
CD3
BCMA
Bispecific antibody
MM cell
Different bispecific antibodies have differences in efficacy, side effects
• • •
About 7 in 10 patients responded CRS is common Some had skin/nail disorders
•
Not yet FDA approved; currently available in clinical trials
•
Off-the-shelf treatment; no waiting for engineering cells
•
Infusion (every 2 weeks by may vary)
MM cell death
BCMA = B-cell maturation antigen; CAR = chimeric antigen receptor; MM = multiple myeloma; scFV = single chain fragment variable. Shah N, et al. Leukemia. 2020;34(4):985-1005. Yu B, et al. J Hematol Oncol. 2020;13:125.
CLINICAL TRIALS: EARLY ACCESS TO PROMISING TREATMENTS Preclinical PHASE 1
PHASE 2
ANIMAL STUDIES FIRST INTRODUCTION OF AN INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG INTO HUMANS
• • •
Determine metabolism and PK/PD actions, MTD, and DLT Identify AEs Gain early evidence of effectiveness, studied in many conditions; typically, 20 to 80 patients; everyone gets agent
EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS IN A CERTAIN TUMOR TYPE
• •
Determine short-term AEs and risks; closely monitored Includes up to 100 patients, typically
PHASE 3
GATHER ADDITIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY INFORMATION COMPARED TO STANDARD OF CARE
PHASE 4
APPROVED AGENTS IN NEW POPULATIONS OR NEW DOSE FORMS
• •
Placebo may be involved if no standard of care exists; 100s to several thousand patients Often multiple institutions; single or double blind
AE = adverse event; DLT = dose-limiting toxicity; MTD = maximum tolerated dose; PD = pharmacodynamics; PK = pharmacokinetics. Faiman B, et al. Adv Pract Oncol. 2016;7:17-29.

32
CLINICAL TRIAL MYTHS: DISPELLING INACCURACIES MYTH: If I participate in a clinical trial, I might get a placebo, not active treatment MYTH: If I participate in a clinical trial, I can’t change my mind
• Phase 1 and 2, everyone gets active treatment • Phase 3 standard of care vs new regimen: often standard regimen with/without additional agent in MM trials • Patients can withdraw their consent for clinical trial participation at any time
MYTH: Patients (whatever demographic/ distance from clinic/etc) never participate in clinical trials so I won’t mention it
• Mention the option and give the patient the opportunity; implicit and explicit biases can limit participation • Some groups may need more information about clinical trials to feel comfortable with participation
MYTH: Clinical trials are dangerous because they have new medicines and practices
• Some risk is involved with every treatment, but medicines are used in clinical trials with people only after they have gone though testing to indicate that the drug is likely to be safe and effective for human use
MYTH: Clinical trials are expensive and not covered by insurance
• Research costs are typically covered by the sponsoring company • Standard patient care costs are typically covered by insurance • Check with clinical trial team/insurers; costs such as transportation, hotel may not be reimbursed and are paid by patient
MM = multiple myeloma.

THE BRIGHT
&
DARK SIDE TO STEROIDS
Steroid Synergy Steroids are a backbone and work in combination to enhance myeloma therapy
Steroid Side Effects • Irritability, mood swings, depression • Difficulty sleeping
(insomnia), fatigue
Managing Steroid Side Effects • Consistent schedule (AM vs. PM) • Take with food • Stomach discomfort: Over-the-counter or
prescription medications • Medications to prevent shingles, thrush, or other infections
Do not stop or adjust steroid doses without discussing it with your health care provider
• Increased risk of
infections, heart disease • Muscle
weakness, cramping
• Increase in blood
pressure, water retention
• Blurred vision, cataracts • Flushing/sweating • Stomach bloating,
hiccups, heartburn, ulcers, or gas
• Weight gain, hair
thinning/loss, skin rashes
• Increase in blood
sugar levels, diabetes

PATIENT-REPORTED SYMPTOMS A meta-analysis identified the most common patient-reported symptoms and impact on QOL, and were present at all stages of the disease. Symptoms resulted from both myeloma disease and treatment, including transplant, and were in these categories:
Physical
Psychological
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Constipation
• Anxiety
• Pain
• Sleep Disturbance
• Neuropathy
• Decreased Cognitive Function
• Impaired Physical Functioning • Sexual Dysfunction
Ramsenthaler, et al. 2016. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.12790.
Financial • Financial burden (80%) • Financial toxicity (43%)
• Decreased Role & Social Function
36
GI SYMPTOMS: PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT Diarrhea may be caused by medications and supplements • • • •
Laxatives, antacids with magnesium Antibiotics, antidepressants, others Milk thistle, aloe, cayenne, saw palmetto, ginseng Sugar substitutes in sugar free gum
Avoid caffeinated, carbonated, or heavily sugared beverages Take anti-diarrheal medication • Imodium®, Lomotil®, or Colestid if recommended • Fiber binding agents – Metamucil®, Citrucel®, Benefiber® • Welchol® if recommended
Smith LC, et al. CJON.2008;12(3)suppl:37-52. Faiman B. CJON. 2016;20(4):E100-E105.
Physical
Constipation may be caused by • Opioid pain relievers, antidepressants, heart or blood pressure medications, others • Supplements: Calcium, Iron, vitamin D (rarely), vitamin B-12 deficiency
Increase fiber • Fruits, vegetables, high fiber whole grain foods • Fiber binding agents – Metamucil®, Citrucel®, Benefiber®
Fluid intake can help with both diarrhea and constipation, and good for kidneys. Discuss GI issues with health care providers to identify causes and make adjustments to medications and supplements. 37
PAIN PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
Physical
Pain can significantly compromise quality of life Sources of pain include bone disease, neuropathy and medical procedures Management • Prevent pain when possible • Bone strengtheners to decrease fracture risk; anti viral to prevent shingles; sedation before procedures
• Interventions depends on source of pain • May include medications, activity, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, etc • Complementary therapies (Mind-body, medication, yoga, supplements, acupuncture, etc)
Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2017;21(5)suppl:19-36.
Tell your health care provider about any new bone pain or chronic pain that is not adequately controlled
38
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY MANAGEMENT Peripheral neuropathy: damage to nerves in extremities (hands, feet, or limbs) • • • • • •
Numbness Tingling Prickling sensations Sensitivity to touch Burning and/or cold sensation Muscle weakness
Report symptoms of peripheral neuropathy early to your health care provider; nerve damage from PN can be permanent if unaddressed
Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2017;21(5)suppl:19-36. Tariman, et al. CJON.2008;12(3)suppl:29-36.
Physical
Prevention / management: • Bortezomib once-weekly or subcutaneous administration • Massage area with cocoa butter regularly • Supplements:
• B-complex vitamins (B1, B6, B12) • Folic acid, and/or amino acids but do not take on day of Velcade® (bortezomib) infusion
• Safe environment: rugs, furnishings, shoes
If PN worsens, your HCP may: • Change your treatment • Prescribe oral or topical pain medication • Suggest physical therapy
39
FATIGUE, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Physical Psychological
All can affect quality of life and relationships
• Fatigue is the most common reported symptom (98.8%) Sources include anemia, pain, reduced activity, insomnia, treatment toxicity, bone marrow suppression
• Anxiety reported in >35% • Depression nearly 25% Financial concerns, disease progression, end-of-life, and change in social and sexual function were highlighted sources
Often, people do not share these symptoms with their provider. Talk to your provider about symptoms that are not well controlled or thoughts of self harm. Help is available. Ramsenthaler, et al. 2016. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.12790. Catamero D et al. CJON. 2017; 21(5)suppl:7-18.

HEALTHFUL LIVING STRATEGIES: KEEP ACTIVE Do Keep a log or journal of your activity • Notify your healthcare provider about sudden onset of pain, progressive weakness, headaches, blurred vision, numbness, and tingling •
•
Dehydration can lead to low blood pressure, falls
Movement therapies can reduce stress, promote sleep Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi Shown to improve sleep and sleep quality, • Improved quality of life & mood •
Do Not: Overdo it • Force exercise • Try things without discussing with provider • Consider weight lifting limits •
Myeloma bone disease may affect your ability to do certain movement activities. Review your activity interests with your health care provider!

47
PREPARE FOR VISITS & CONSIDER TELEMEDICINE Come prepared: • Bring a list of current medications, prescribed and • • •
• •
over the counter Write down your questions and concerns. Prioritize them including financial issues Have there been any medical or life changes since your last visit? Current symptoms - how have they changed (improved, worsened, stable)? Keep a symptom diary. Bring it along Communicate effectively: your health care team can’t help if they don’t know Know the “next steps”, future appointments, medication changes, refills, etc
IMF Telemedicine Tip Sheet. In development.
Check with your healthcare team – Is telemedicine an option? Similar planning for “in-person” appointment PLUS: • What is the process and what technology is needed? • Plan your labs: are they needed in advance? Do you need an order? • Plan your location: quiet, well-lit location with strong wi-fi is best • Plan yourself: consider if you may need to show a body part and wear accessible clothing • Collect recent vital signs (blood pressure, temp, heart rate) self-serve blood pressure cuff is available at many pharmacies and for purchase
48
SHARED DECISION-MAKING Be empowered to be part of the treatment decision-making • Ask for time to consider options (if needed/appropriate) • Understand options; consider priorities • Use reliable sources of information • Use caution considering stories of personal
experiences • Consider your goals/values/preferences
• Express your goals/values/preferences; create a
dialog
• My top priority is [goal/value]; additional [preferences] are also important. • I think [treatment] may be a good choice given my priorities… What do you think?
• Arrive at a treatment decision together

CAR-T side-effects: cytokine release syndrome (CRS)
• • • •
• •
Can progress to low blood pressure and or shortness of breath If left unchecked, can cause multi-organ failure and risk of death
Can be correlated with tumor burden Can be correlated with CAR-T expansion (usually around 1-2 weeks) Not required to occur to achieve clinical response Inflammatory markers, CRP and ferritin, are the most commonly readily available clinical labs included in monitoring • Tocilizumab, IL-6 receptor antibody, is FDA approved as first line treatment for CRS • •
Current treatment is based on patients’ signs and symptoms, not strictly based on labs Active treatment of CRS do not negatively impact clinical response
Serum Cytokine (fold change from baseline)
• Often starts with fevers, with associated myalgia, arthralgia, poor appetite

Grupp et al, NEJM 2013
Types of Neurologic Side-Effects Acute • Concurrent with CRS and high fevers • Associated with elevated cytokines • Common; some degree of neurotoxicity occurs in nearly all CAR T patients • Symptoms include decreased attention, confusion, disorientation, delirium and ataxia • Can respond sometimes to steroid
Cerebral Edema • Rare • Idiosyncratic • Rapid acute onset • Requires immediate ICU transfer and intervention with mannitol with or without anti-seizure medications • May be fatal
Delayed • Occurs within weeks to months; often after resolution of CRS • Range of symptoms •
confusion, mental status changes, encephalopathy, aphasia
•
Cranial nerve palsies, neuropathies
•
Parkinsonism: tremor, rigid muscles, slowed movement, difficulty to initiate movement, speech and writing changes, poor posture and balance
• May resolve on its own. Can take days to months to resolve.
Each type of neurological toxicity is likely due to different manifestations of CAR T therapy (different underlying physiologies), responds to different mechanisms, and has a different likelihood of reversibility

Patient Selection Considerations
• Is there an age cut-off? • • • •
Most clinical trials do not restrict upper age limit Subjects up to age 78 treated on phase II registration studies in myeloma No evidence for decreased response in elderly Likely performance status and organ functions impact inclusion of otherwise fit elderly and excludes younger, but frail subjects • ECOG, Karnofsky, myeloma frailty score
• High risk disease not formally studied in protocols yet • CNS involvement • Plasma cell leukemia • Concurrent amyloidosis
• Renal dysfunction
• Fludarabine dose adjustment for renal impairment has been allowed • No formal study of CAR-T for subjects on hemodialysis
CAR-T Access remain an issue Median (range) 10-50 MM CAR-T infusion volume in 2021 (<5,50-100) Number of FDA approved CAR-T slots 1 (0-4) given per month Patients on wait list 20 (5-100) (FDA approved CAR-T) Duration a patient is on waiting list 6 (2-8) months Outcomes of patients on wait list FDA approved CAR-T 25% (0%-64%) CAR-T trial 25% (0-50%) non-CAR-T trial 25% (0-50%) hospice or death 25% (0%-75%)
Survey of 20 centers. Responses from 17 centers. Kourelis T et al. ASCO 2022.
Challenge in CAR-T therapy: Making it to CAR-T dosing • Most common CAR-T manufacturing time is ~1 month • Avg 10 – 20% of the patients who have cells collected are unable to receive infusion • Most common cause due to disease progression during manufacturing • Reducing manufacturing time could enable more patients to receive therapy • Shortening manufacturing time could reduce T cell exhaustion from ex vivo expansion • Allogeneic CAR-T as “off-the-shelf” option
CAR-T Innovation: Other manufacturing approach (PRIME Study)
• Low rate of CRS, 17% total, no Gr 3. Gr3 or higher ICANS: 3.8%. • P-BCMA-101 Nanoplasmid appears to induce deeper response than standard plasmid Costello C. et al. ASH 2020, abstr 134.

Challenge: decreased BCMA expression at relapse after CAR-T treatment BCMA expression is commonly detectable but decreased at relapse/PD
Gamma secretase inhibitor (GSI) can increase cell surface BCMA
Brudno J et al. JCO 2018.
Complete BCMA loss by bi-allelic loss is uncommon However, this may become more prevalent with selection pressure from BCMA therapy
Pont MJ et al. Blood 2019; 134: 1585.
Innovation: Gamma Secretase Inhibitor to increase BCMA expression
• FCARH143 CAR-T, fully human BCMA CAR-T • Enrolled n=18, 7(38.9%) prior BCMA • CRS >=G3, 28% (4 Gr3, 1 Gr4) Cowan A et al. ASH 2021, abstr 551.
CAR-T Innovation: Other antigen target GPRC5D CAR-T (MCARH109)
• Among 17 pts treated, 10 had prior BCMA, 8 prior CAR-T • >=Gr 3 CRS: 7%. >=Gr 3 ICANS: 7%. At highest dose. • MAS 7%. • Nail changes, all grade 1: 56%. • Rash, all Gr 1: 19% • Dysguesia, grade 1, 6% • Median follow-up 17.9 weeks Mailankody, S. et al. ASH 2021. Abstr 827.
Conclusion • Exciting new era of immunotherapy in myeloma • Challenges seen to date in transition of this transformative individualized treatment to standard of care practice • Evolving data continue to reinforce the value of this therapy • Novel investigations will continue to advance the capabilities of CAR-T

TRIMM-2: Talquetamab GPRC5D BiTE and Daratumumab • The combination of tal + dara appears tolerable, with no overlapping toxicity ⎻ Safety profiles appear consistent with each agent given as a monotherapy and no new AEs were observed
⎻ 55% of patients experienced CRS, all grade 1 and 2, with median time to onset of 2 days and 2 days duration
• Preliminary efficacy data suggest a promising ORR (77–85%) in these heavily pretreated patients ⎻ Responses were observed in both CD38–exposed and –refractory patients
⎻ Responses were durable and appeared to deepen over time, with the majority of patients remaining on treatment
• Tal-mediated induction of cytotoxic T cells (CD38+/CD8+) in the presence of dara supports the rationale for this synergistic combination regimen • These data support tal + dara as a novel immunotherapy-based approach for the treatment of patients with MM

What is the Goal of Traetment in Relapsed Disease? • Obtain the maximal response
Patients with Relapsed Myeloma May Have Similar Survival as Newly-diagnosed if They Receive MRD negativity
Munshi N et al., Blood Adv. 2020
Summary and Future Directions • All options need to be tried sequentially. No good data on optimum sequence or regimen • Cumulative toxicities from prior therapies may influence decision • Choice of therapy for RRMM depends on patient factors (frailty, comorbidity) and prior treatments (PI,IMiD,CD38MoAb) • Triplet therapy for relapsed MM can achieve deep MRD- durable responses • BCMA CAR T and bispecific T cell engager therapies can achieve high rates of deep responses even in MM refractory to all current agents • We are now at cusp of achieving Long-term disease-free survival and potential cure in Myeloma !! All patients should be encouraged to participate in ongoing clinical trials
