A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation and Exploratory Dose Expansion Study of AMG 232 in Combination With Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed and/or Refractory Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 when
given together with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patient with
multiple myeloma that has come back of has not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone,
work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate safety and tolerability of MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (AMG-232) in combination with
carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd). (Part A) II. Determine the maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AMG-232 in combination with
carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd). (Part A) III. Confirm the safety and
tolerability of AMG 232 in combination with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone
(KRd) at MTD/tentative RP2D in a goal of 10 subjects with relapsed and/or refractory myeloma.
(Part B)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate progressive disease (PD) effects of AMG-232 through serum MIC-1 levels. (Part A)
II. Assess AMG-232 exposure-response relationships (PD, toxicity, and efficacy). (Part A)
III. Evaluate the overall response rate of AMG 232 in combination with carfilzomib,
lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd) in relapsed/refractory myeloma by International Myeloma
Working Group (IMWG) criteria. (Part B) IV. Evaluate PD effects of AMG 232 through serum
MIC-1 levels. (Part B) V. Assess AMG 232 exposure-response relationships (PD, toxicity, and
efficacy). (Part B)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity of AMG-232 in combination with carfilzomib,
lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd) in relapsed/refractory myeloma by International Myeloma
Working Group (IMWG) criteria. (Part A) II. Evaluate ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression levels
of relevant genes in the TP53 pathway that may predict response to therapy using pre- and
post-treatment bone marrow biopsies. (Part A) III. Evaluate ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression
levels of relevant genes in the TP53 pathway that may predict response to therapy using pre-
and post-treatment bone marrow biopsies. (Part B)

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232.

Patients receive MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7, carfilzomib
intravenously (IV) over 10-30 minutes on days 1-2, 8-9, and 15-16 of courses 1-12 and on days
1-2 and 15-16 of courses 13-18, lenalidomide PO on days 1-21, and dexamethasone PO or IV on
days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
unexpected toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

combination defined as progression of disease while on therapy or within 60 days of
completing therapy

- Subjects must show evidence of wild-type (WT) p53 status on somatic tissue specimens
as assessed by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing; note that since patients with
relapsed myeloma have a rapidly proliferating disease, patient can be enrolled and
begin treatment prior to obtaining the results of this test; patients who are
discovered to have a TP53 mutation will be removed from study after cycle one and can
continue on carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd); all enrolled patients
will be followed for toxicity

- Subjects who have not recovered from toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy, defined
as not having resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
version 5.0 grade 0 or 1, or to levels dictated in the eligibility criteria with the
exception of alopecia (grade 2 or 3 toxicities from prior antitumor therapy that are
considered irreversible [defined as having been present and stable for > 6 months],
such as grade 2 chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, may be allowed if they are
not otherwise described in the exclusion criteria AND there is agreement to allow by
both the investigator and sponsor)

- Subjects who are receiving any other investigational agents

- Subjects who have undergone major surgery within 28 days of study day 1;
vertebroplasty and/or kyphoplasty, which must have been performed at least 1 week
prior to starting AMG-232 + KRd

- Subjects with known central nervous system involvement of myeloma should be excluded
from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often
develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of
neurologic and other adverse events

- Subjects with history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar
chemical or biologic composition to AMG 232 or carfilzomib, lenalidomide, or
dexamethasone

- Subjects' medication list such as herbal medicines (e.g., St. John's wort), vitamins,
and supplements will be reviewed before starting first dose of AMG 232 and at each
clinic visit; any potential drug interactions will be brought and discussed with the
principal investigator; use of any known CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic
window (such as alfentanil, astemizole, cisapride, dihydroergotamine, pimozide,
quinidine, sirolimus, or terfanide) within the 14 days prior to receiving the first
dose of AMG 232 is not permitted; other medications (such as fentanyl and oxycodone)
may be allowed per investigator's assessment/evaluation

- Treatment with medications known to cause QTc interval prolongation within 7 days of
study day 1 unless is not permitted unless approved by the sponsor; use of ondansetron
is permitted for treatment of nausea and vomiting

- Current use of warfarin, factor Xa inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors; Note:
low molecular weight heparin and prophylactic low dose warfarin are permitted; PT/PTT
must meet the inclusion criteria; subjects taking warfarin must have their INR
followed closely

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III and higher),
unstable angina, or cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication are excluded

enrollment (day 1) are excluded

- Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HepBsAg) (indicative of chronic hepatitis B),
positive hepatitis total core antibody with negative HBsAG (suggestive of occult
hepatitis B), or detectable hepatitis C virus RNA by a polymerase-chain reaction (PCR)
assay (indicative of active hepatitis C - screening is generally done by hepatitis C
antibody [HepCAb], followed by hepatitis C virus RNA by PCR if HepCAb is positive);
subjects with hepatitis B virus suppressed on therapy, and previously
treated/eradicated hepatitis C virus are eligible for study

- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive subjects positive for human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are NOT excluded from this study, but HIV-positive
subjects must have:

- A stable regimen of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART)

- No requirement for concurrent antibiotics or antifungal agents for the prevention
of opportunistic infections

- CD4 count above 250 cells/mcL and an undetectable HIV viral load on standard
