CARTITUDE-4 Study1,2

CARTITUDE-4 is a randomized, open label, multicenter controlled study in adult patients with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma, who previously received at least 1 prior line of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent. A total of 419 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either a sequence of apheresis, bridging therapy, lymphodepletion, and CARVYKTI® (n=208) or standard therapy which included daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (DPd) or bortezomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (PVd) selected by physician prior to randomization based on patient’s prior antimyeloma therapy (n=211).

Primary Endpoint:
PFS (Intent-to-Treat)

Select Secondary Endpoints||:
CR or better, ORR (sCR + CR + VGPR + PR)

CAR+=chimeric antigen receptor-positive; CR=complete response; DOR=duration of response; IMWG=International Myeloma Working Group;

IRC=Independent Review Committee; IV=intravenous infusion; LoT=line(s) of therapy; ORR=overall response rate; PFS=progression-free survival;

PR=partial response; sCR=stringent complete response; VGPR=very good partial response.

*Randomization was stratified by physician’s choice of treatment (DPd vs PVd), ISS (I vs II vs III) and number of prior lines of therapy (1 vs 2 or 3).

Per the IMWG consensus, assessed by IRC.

80.8% of patients received 1-2 cycles of standard therapy. Maximum received was 6 cycles in 1 patient.

§The remaining 32 patients discontinued trial participation before receiving CARVYKTI®, predominantly because of disease
progression during bridging therapy or lymphodepletion. Of these patients, 20 received CARVYKTI® as a subsequent therapy.1

||Secondary outcomes were sequentially tested at each prespecified significance level, including (in order) rates of CR or better, ORR.2

*Race or ethnic group was reported by the patients. Among the patients who were enrolled in the United States, 9 (14.1%) were Black. The designation of “Other” includes American Indian and Alaska Native ethnic groups.

Listed is the latest available performance-status score on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale that was recorded on or before the initiation of apheresis or cycle 1. All the patients met the inclusion criteria of an ECOG performance-status score of 0 or 1 before randomization.

Soft-tissue plasmacytomas include extramedullary and bone-based plasmacytomas with a measurable soft-tissue component.

§High-risk cytogenetics, presence of t(4:14), (14:16), and 17p13 del, were present in 34% of patients. 

In the measurement of bone marrow plasma cells, the maximum value from bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow aspirate was selected if both results were available.

Triple-class therapy includes one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.

**Penta-drug therapy includes at least 2 proteasome inhibitors, at least two immunomodulatory agents, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
