DREAMM-2 clinical trial

The DREAMM-2 clinical trial studied BLENREP as a single agent in triple-class refractory patients with multiple myeloma (MM) (n=97; final analysis) who had received a median of 7 prior lines of therapy.1

BLENREP is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma in adult patients, who have received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and who have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.2,3

  • DREAMM-2 clinical trial design

    • DREAMM-2 was an open-label, multicentre, phase 2 study in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma2
    • Patients were refractory to an anti-CD38 antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulatory agent2

    eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; IgG, immunoglobulin G; ISS, International Staging System.
    *Data available for 47 patients in the 2.5 mg/kg cohort.2
    The number of previous lines of therapy is derived as the number of previous anticancer regimens received by a patient as reported on the electronic case report form. Combination therapy containing multiple components was counted as one regimen.2
    Based on data available at the time of database lock; however, all patients were refractory to a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug,and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody as per eligibility criteria.2

Final analysis DREAMM-2 efficacy data for BLENREP1

40-months follow-up

BLENREP can deliver deep (VGPR or better) responses in patients with triple-class refractory MM1

Primary endpoint: ORR1
32% of patients (n=31/97) responded to BLENREP in the final analysis (97.5% CI: 21.7-43.6). 58% (n=18) of responding patients achieved a VGPR or better.1

Progression-free survival (PFS)1

Median PFS was 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.6-3.6). The estimated mPFS was 14.0 months in patients with a VGPR or better.1

Personalising care with BLENREP

MM typically affects elderly patients who often face additional challenges such as:4

It is therefore important to employ a personalised approach when choosing a treatment option in these patients.4

BLENREP delivered similar responses in patient sub-groups vs. the overall population in the 13-month follow up5

Analysis at 13 month follow up

Circle chart showing overall response rate in patients with high-risk cytogenetics

*Analysis included patients with t(4;14), t(14;16), or 17p13del translocations. Evaluation of BLENREP in patients with these high-risk cytogenetics was a prespecified subgroup analysis and not adjusted for multiplicity. In a post-hoc analysis that also included patients with the 1q21+ abnormality, the ORR was 29% (n=12/41; 95% CI: 16.1–45.5).5
