Multiple Myeloma: Understanding

Multiple Myeloma: Overview

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma cell proliferative disorder characterized by the abnormal increase of monoclonal immunoglobulins. Unchecked, the excess production of these plasma cells can ultimately lead to specific end-organ damage. Most commonly, this is seen when at least one of the following clinical manifestations are present: hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, anemia, or bone pain accompanied by lytic lesions.

Symptoms

The specific symptoms, age of onset, and rate of progression of multiple myeloma varies from patient to patient. Some affected individuals will not exhibit any symptoms (asymptomatic). Multiple myeloma may progress to cause life-threatening complications. The most common symptom associated with multiple myeloma is bone pain, usually of the lower back or ribs. Another possible sign of multiple myeloma is an elevated level of calcium in the blood, a condition called hypercalcemia.

Causes

The exact cause of multiple myeloma is not known. Symptoms occur as a result of a process that is initiated by the abnormal multiplication of plasma cells in bone marrow. Scientists suspect there may be a variety of causes that may include environmental factors (e.g., the effects of exposure to radiation), genetic abnormalities, and/or additional factors that may play varying contributing roles. Exposure to dioxin has been associated with an increased risk of myeloma.

Diagnosis

A diagnosis of multiple myeloma is made based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient history, and a variety of specialized tests. Such tests may include removal and microscopic examination of small samples of bone marrow (biopsy or aspiration), blood tests to detect low levels of red and white blood cells, and various x-ray techniques including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET) scanning that may reveal characteristic changes to bones. A test that uses electric currents to sort proteins in the blood or urine (electrophoresis) may be used to detect elevated levels of M-proteins. An immunoglobulin free light chain assay of blood is considered a standard of evaluation.

Treatment

The treatment of multiple myeloma usually involves chemotherapy to reduce the numbers of abnormal plasma cells, drugs to help fight infection (e.g., antibiotics), and medications to reduce pain (analgesic drugs). Additional treatment may include the use of high energy x-rays (radiation therapy) to destroy cancer cells and reduce bone masses that may develop. The use of new biologic drugs may also be recommended. If affected individuals experience involvement of the kidneys, fluids may need to be administered to avoid dehydration. Stem-cell transplantation along with high-dose chemotherapy is regularly used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma Emerging Drugs

• Zevorcabtagene Autoleucel: Carsgen Therapeutics

Zevorcabtagene Autoleucel (Zevor-cel, R&D code: CT053) is an autologous fully human CAR T-cell product candidate against B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). In October 2022, China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) and has granted the priority review for zevor-cel. Zevor-cel is expected to be approved by the NMPA for the treatment of R/R MM at the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. In January 2023, CARsgen and Huadong Medicine entered into a collaboration agreement for the commercialization of CARsgen's lead drug candidate, zevor-cel, in mainland China. Since reaching the agreement, teams from CARsgen and Huadong Medicine have been working together closely to implement this collaboration and prepare for the approval and commercialization of zevor-cel in China.

• Descartes 08: Cartesian Therapeutics

Descartes-08 is an autologous BCMA-targeting RNA-modified CAR T-cell therapy. Descartes-08 is engineered by mRNA transfection to express anti-BCMA CAR for a defined length of time. Descartes-08 express anti-BCMA CAR for 1 week, limiting risk of uncontrolled proliferation; produce inflammatory cytokines in response to myeloma target cells; and are highly cytolytic against myeloma cells regardless of presence of myeloma-protecting bone marrow stromal cells, exogenous a proliferation-inducing ligand, or drug resistance including IMiDs. The magnitude of cytolysis correlates with anti-BCMA CAR expression duration, indicating a temporal limit in activity. In early-stage clinical studies, Descartes-08 has been safe and well-tolerated in patients with MG and multiple myeloma. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

• GC012F: Gracell Biotechnology Shanghai Co., Ltd.

GC012F is Gracell's FasTCAR-enabled BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting autologous CAR-T cell therapy, which aims to transform cancer and autoimmune disease treatment by driving fast, deep and durable responses with improved safety profile. GC012F is currently being evaluated in clinical studies in multiple hematological cancers as well as autoimmune diseases, and has demonstrated a consistently strong efficacy and safety profile. Gracell has initiated a Phase 1b/2 trial evaluating GC012F for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in the United States and a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in China is to be commenced imminently.

• CID-103: CASI Pharmaceuticals

CID-103 is a fully human IgG1 anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody that recognizes a unique epitope on CD38. It was engineered to have strong activity against CD38 malignant cells and to reduce certain safety issues observed with existing treatments. Preclinical data of CID-103 demonstrates enhanced activity against a broad array of malignancies which express CD38 and demonstrates a better preclinical safety profile when compared to other CD38 mAbs. These attributes offer the potential for accelerated development and regulatory review, including rapid advancement into earlier lines of therapy. Currently, the drug is in the Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

• STI-1492: Sorrento Therapeutics

STI-1492 is a therapeutic candidate developed by Sorrento Therapeutics for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It is an allogeneic, off-the-shelf therapy that involves the administration of Anti-CD38 A2 Dimeric Antigen Receptor T (DAR-T) cells through a single intravenous infusion. The therapy is currently being evaluated in a phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation study involving subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein present on various immune cells and hematologic malignancies, and its expression has been associated with poor prognosis. Currently, the drug is in the Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma.
