Vulnerability found in immunotherapy-resistant triple-negative breast cancer

Submitted by robbikm2 on

Vanderbilt researchers have discovered a druggable target on natural killer cells that could potentially trigger a therapeutic response in patients with immunotherapy-resistant, triple-negative breast cancer.

Testing the Combination of Two Approved Drugs and One Experimental Drug in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of iberdomide in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow and are part of the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that allows the cancer cells to survive and grow. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin has been designed to attach to the BCMA protein, which may cause the myeloma cell to become damaged and die. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Iberdomide plus belantamab mafodotin may help slow or stop the growth of cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.

A Study to Assess Adverse Events of Intravenously (IV) Infused Etentamig (ABBV-383) in Adult Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the blood's plasma cells ( blood cell). The cancer is typically found in the bones and bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of the bones) and can cause bone pain, fractures, infections, weaker bones, and kidney failure. Treatments are available, but MM can come back (relapsed) or may not get better (refractory) with treatment. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of etentamig (ABBV-383) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM.

Etentamig (ABBV-383) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study is broken into 4 Arms; Arm A (Parts 1 and 2), Arm B and Arms C \& D. Arm A includes 2 parts: step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 (Dose A) will be used followed by the target dose A of etentamig (ABBV-383). In Arm B a flat dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) will be tested. In Arms C \& D, the step-up dose identified in Arm A will be used followed by the target dose of etentamig (ABBV-383) to investigate outpatient administration of etentamig (ABBV-383). Around 210 adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled at approximately 50 sites across the world.

Participants will receive etentamig (ABBV-383) as an infusion into the vein in 28 day cycles for approximately 3 years.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
