Binod Dhakal, MD, MS, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, provides an overview of the CARTITUDE-4 trial (NCT04181827), including its methods, design, and inclusion criteria.
In CARTITUDE-4, treatment with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; Carvykti) was evaluated when used as a treatment for patients with lenalidomide (Revlimid)-refractory multiple myeloma and who had received at least 1 prior line of therapy.
According to updated results from the phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial presented at the 2024 International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting, cilta-cel reduced the risk of death by 45% vs standard of care (SOC) in this patient population.
Transcription:
0:09 | CARTITUDE-4 is actually 1 of the first 2 randomized studies to compare CAR T against standard of care in patients with early relapse multiple myeloma. Specifically, if you look at the CARTITUDE-4 trial, it is a phase 3, randomized trial comparing ciltacabtagene autoleucel or cilta-cel vs standard of care regimens, which are mainly 2, pomalidomide [Pomalyst], bortezomib [Velcade], and dexamethasone [PVd], or daratumumab [Darzalex] plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone [DPd], in patients with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy and were lenalidomide-refractory.
0:42 | The primary end point of the study was progressive-free survival. In the study, the patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either cilta-cel or a standard of care, which is either PVd or DPd, based on physician choice. Patients who are randomized to cilta-cel receive bridging therapy, which was either PVd or DPd, again, based on physician’s choice, before receiving the cilta-cel. Patients in the standard of care arm continued the treatment until progression, whereas in the cilta-cel arm, [patients] received 1 infusion of cilta-cel and were followed up.
1:16 | There are a number of secondary end points that were also assessed in the study, including overall survival, response rate, including deep response rate, and time to symptom worsening and [minimal residual disease] negativity rates.
