A Study of an MMSET Inhibitor in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Recruiting now Phase 1 NCT05651932
Run by K36 Therapeutics, Inc. · for 18 and older · All sexes
What this study is about
A Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a novel, orally available, selective, and potent small molecule inhibitor of the histone lysine methyl transferase MMSET (also known as NSD2/WHSC1) to prevent the dimethylation of H3K36 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
Who can join (things the study team will check)
✅ You may be able to join if…
- ≥ 18 years of age
- ECOG score ≤ 1
- Multiple myeloma (as per IMWG)
- Prior therapy for MM: Participants must have received at least 1 and up to 3 prior lines of therapy as defined by IMWG, and the following drug classes: PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 antibody. For mezigdomide combination Cohorts B1 and B2, participants must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy
- Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of progressive MM (per IMWG), t(4;14) confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing performed in a centralized Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) accredited laboratory via fresh tumor biopsy.
- Measurable disease, including at least 1 of the following criteria:
- Serum M protein ≥ 0.50 g/dL (by SPEP)
- Serum IgA ≥ 0.50 g/dL (IgA myeloma patients)
- Urine M protein ≥ 200 mg/24 h (by UPEP)
- sFLC involved light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) (patients with abnormal sFLC ratio)
- Bone marrow plasma cells ≥ 30% (if only criterion for measurability)
- Agreement to enroll into the REMS program (Cohort D- pomalidomide cohort only)
🚫 You may not be able to join if…
