BCMA in Myeloma: Background § Patients with heavily pretreated R/R MM have median OS of < 9 mos, and novel treatment options are needed for this patient population[1] § Anti-BCMA therapies represent a novel class of therapy for MM ‒ In MM cells, BCMA expressed in all disease stages[2, 3] ‒ BCMA expression is restricted in normal cells to plasma cells, terminally differentiated B-cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells[4, 5] § MEDI 2228: ADC with fully humanized anti-BCMA antibody conjugated to pyrrolobenzodiazepine (DNA cross-linking agent) dimer tesirine ‒ BCMA-targeted antibody construct that preferentially binds membrane-bound BCMA § Current first-in-human phase I study sought to determine safety and tolerability of novel BCMA-targeted ADC MEDI 2228 in patients with R/R MM[6] 1.

Phase I MEDI 2228: Investigator Conclusions § In patients with heavily pretreated R/R MM, treatment with anti-BCMA ADC MEDI 2228 showed manageable toxicity and promising efficacy at MTD of 0. 14 mg/kg Q 3 W ‒ Thrombocytopenia described as DLT: n = 2 at 0. 20 mg/kg ‒ Responses seen across all dose levels; ORR: 66% at 0. 14 mg/kg and median Do. R: 5. 9 mos, likely affected by loss of patients to follow-up § Early onset photophobia cause of discontinuations ‒ 4 cases resolved after drug discontinuation ‒ 37% with documented improvement over time § Expansion cohorts continue to be evaluated at 0. 14 mg/kg, with alternative dosing and scheduling to mitigate eye toxicity Kumar.
