Integration of Novel Agents Into
Myeloma Management
Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Thalidomide, Bortezomib/Doxil,
Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, Panobinostat, Daratumumab,
Elotuzumab, Ixazomib, glycosylated Melphalan
Target MM in the BM microenvironment to overcome
conventional drug resistance in vitro and in vivo
Effective in relapsed/refractory, relapsed, induction,
consolidation, and maintenance therapy
Nineteen FDA approvals in the last 13 years: median survival
prolonged from 3-5 to 7-10 years, with additional prolongation
from maintenance
New approaches needed to treat and prevent relapse

Poor survival outcomes for patients with
advanced Relapsed/Refractory MM
• For patients (N = 286) refractory to Bort and relapsed/refractory
or ineligible for immunomodulatory drugsa
– 49% had no response to the first treatment
– Median OS was
12 months for
patients receiving
at least one
treatment, and
3 months for
patients receiving
no treatment
a Lenalidomide and/or thalidomide.
Bort, bortezomib; EFS, event-free survival; OS, overall survival. Kumar SK, et al. Leukemia. 2012;26:149–157. 9
Multiple genetically distinct subclones can
occur in multiple myeloma
• Multiple genetically distinct subclones are present at
diagnosis1–4
– These evolve over time due to selective pressures from treatment and
factors in the microenvironment1,4
– This clonal evolution can result in disease progression and treatment
resistance5

New Directions:
Key Targets in MM
Excess Protein Production:
• Target Protein degradation
• Synergistic Strategies with next
generation novel agents
Genomic abnormalities:
• Target and overcome mutations
• Critical Role of Combination Therapy
Immune Suppression:
• Restore anti-MM immunity
• Memory (thru vaccines, cellular therapy)16

Pan-DACi inhibit a broad range of deacetylase enzymes: target both
histone and nonhistone proteins involved in oncogenesis1
Pan-DACi inhibit growth and promote death of MM cells through inhibition of HDAC enzymes:
• Histone proteins, implicated in epigenetic dysregulation, result in activation of tumor suppressor genes2-4
• Nonhistone proteins,promote toxic accumulation of misfolded proteins, lead to cell stress2,5,6,7,8

Elotuzumab: Immunostimulatory
Mechanism of Action
• Elotuzumab is an immunostimulatory monoclonal antibody that recognizes
SLAMF7, a protein highly expressed by myeloma and natural killer cells1
• Elotuzumab causes myeloma cell death via a dual mechanism of action2

Conclusions
• PFS benefit continues to be maintained with DVd over time
• DVd is superior to Vd regardless of prior lines of therapy
• Largest magnitude of benefit with DVd is observed in patients with
1 prior line of therapy
• 78% reduction in risk of progression or death
for DVd versus Vd• More patients in DVd achieved deeper responses with longer
follow-up
• Higher CR and MRD-negative rates
• MRD negativity translated into longer PFS• DVd is superior to Vd regardless of cytogenetic risk or time since
last therapy
• No new safety signals were reportedThese data further support the use of this newly approved regimen of DVd
in RRMM, with most benefit in patients with 1 prior line of therapy44

Conclusions
• Daratumumab-Rd significantly improved PFS in
comparison with Rd alone
• DRd was associated with a 63% reduction in the
risk of progression or death
• Treatment benefit of DRd versus Rd was consistent
across subgroups
• DRd doubled CR/sCR rates and quadrupled MRD-
negative rates
• DRd has a manageable safety profile consistent with
the known safety profile of daratumumab or Rd alone
Daratumumab combined with Rd potentially represents a new
standard of care for myeloma patients after ≥1 prior treatment

Conclusions: ASH 2016
DARA can be combined safely with rHuPH20
SC DARA was well tolerated with low IRR rates
– SC injections were well tolerated
PK profile of the 1,800-mg dose was consistent with
DARA 16 mg/kg IV
Efficacy was consistent with IV DARA in a similar patient
population
– 38% ORR, including deep responses (1 sCR)
Tolerability, safety, and PK data support continued development
of SC DARA in different settings

Summary
• The combination of isatuximab with Pom/Dex is generally well tolerated in patients with RRMM.o The AEs observed are generally consistent with the known safety profiles of the
individual agents.
• IARs were all Gr 1/2 in intensity and tended to occur with the first infusion.
• The PK parameters of isatuximab do not appear to be affected by Pom/Dex co-administration.
• The combination of isatuximab with Pom/Dex was clinically active in this heavily pretreated patient population.
• Confirmed ORR was 64%; confirmed ORR with isatuximab 10 mg/kg was 67%.• Confirmed ORR in IMiD-refractory patients was 64%.
• The MTD for this combination was not reached at the highest isatuximab dose level tested; 10 mg/kg was the selected dose for the expansion cohort based on these preliminary clinical, efficacy, safety, and PK data.
• A global Phase III study of isatuximab plus Pom/Dex is planned to start in 2016.

Anti-CD38 antibody-mediated therapy in myeloma:
some unbeaten paths of potential application
(ASH 2016, Malavasi F et al.)
1) Can the enzymatic activities exerted by CD38
play a role in these events?
2) Does the enzymatic activities of CD38
collaborate with other ectoenzymes in the bone
marrow niche?
3) Do therapeutic anti-CD38 antibodies interfere
with the enzymatic activities ruled by CD38?
4) Do the products derived from the ectoenzymes
operate outside the niche?

Conclusions
– GSK2857916 was well tolerated with no DLTs up to 4.6 mg/kg q3w; MTD was not
reached
– AEs were manageable with ocular toxicity emerging as the most frequent reason for
dose modifications
– Hematologic toxicities such as thrombocytopenia and anemia are expected in the
disease under study
– Thrombocytopenia emerged more frequently as treatment-related at higher doses; although
events were transient and manageable
– 66.7% ORR including a stringent CR observed at higher doses of GSK2857916 in
this refractory population
– 3.4 mg/kg was selected as the dose to investigate in the expansion phase of the
study based on the totality of the data from Part 1
– Pharmacodynamic and correlative analyses are ongoing

Lenalidomide enhances checkpoint blockade-
induced multiple myeloma cytotoxicity
Güllü Görgün et al. Clin Cancer Res 2015;21:4607-4618 73
Pembrolizumab and the PD-1 Pathway
• The PD-1 pathway is often exploited by tumors to evade immune surveillance1-3
• Role of PD-1 inhibitors in MM1-2
• Pembrolizumab blocks interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1/PD-L24-6
• Rationale for the combination of IMiDs and PD-L1 blockade7
– Lenalidomide reduces PD-L1 and PD-1 expression on MM cells and T- and myeloid- derived suppressor cells
– Lenalidomide enhances checkpoint blockade–induced effector cytokine production in MM bone marrow and induced cytotoxicity against MM cells

Pembrolizumab + REV/DEX
• Patients had heavily pretreated RRMM (median four prior therapies); 86% had received a stem cell transplant and 75% were refractory to lenalidomide
– 49% were unresponsive to two, three, or four medications
• Acceptable safety profile, with AEs similar to those seen in patients using pembrolizumab in solid tumors
• ORR was 50% and disease control rate (CR, PR, or SD) was 98%
Mateos M-V et al. J Clin Oncol. 2016;34(suppl):abstr 8010.
NCT02036502.
Conclusion: results are promising; phase 3 studies of pembrolizumab are now under way.

Myeloma CAR therapy
ASH 2015- 2016
• Multiple promising targets:
• CD19, CD138, CD38, CD56, kappa, Lewis Y, CD44v6, CS1 (SLAMF7), BCMA
• Functional CAR T cells can be generated from MM patients
• CAR T and NK cells have in vitro and in vivo activity against MM
• Clinical trials underway
• Anecdotal prolonged responses but no robust efficacy data available yet
• Many questions remain about CAR design:
• optimal co-stimulatory domains
• optimal vector
• optimal dose and schedule
• need for chemotherapy
• Perhaps ‘cocktails’ of multiple CARs or CARs + chemotherapy will be
required for best outcomes80

Integration and Impact of
Novel Agents, including Immune Therapies
• Innovations (PIs, IMiDs) to date have produced significant improvements in
PFS and OS: recent approvals (e.g. Carfilzomib, Ixazomib) will augment this
• Next wave of therapies….. crucially, agnostic to mutational thrust?
• Baseline immune function appears to also be a key barrier to success but
may be targetable (e.g. use of PD1/PDL1 blockade)
• MoAbs (Elo, DARA, ISA) have activity in high risk disease, represent true
new novel mechanisms, as well as other immuno-therapeutics (e.g.
checkpoint inhibitors, vaccines)
• New insights to mechanisms of drug action (e.g. AC 241) are further
expanding therapeutic opportunities with combinations
• Numerous other small molecule inhibitors show promise (e.g. HDACi’s,
CXCR4, BCL, AKT, CDK, HSP 90, Nuclear Transport, KSP, BET bromodomain
proteins/Myc, DUBs, MEK)
• Further refinement of prognostics and MRD will guide therapy88
