Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Elotuzumab in Combination With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Phase 1)
4 weeks

MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 20 mg/kg once daily dose escalation cohorts 1 to 3 with 3 patients each. MTD reflects highest dose of drug that did not cause an unacceptable side effect (dose limiting toxicity \[DLT\]) in more than 30% of patients; e.g., hematologic toxicities like Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 4 neutropenia in specific conditions, platelets \< 10,000 cells/mm\^3 that do not recover to 25,000 cells/mm\^3; and specific non-hematologic/biochemical toxicities CTCAE Grade 3 or 4 (except fatigue and Grade 3 infections); CTCAE version 3.0 were used.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (Phase 2)
From date of randomization until 60 days following the last infusion (or before initiation of new therapy), up to 101 months

ORR: Percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR; negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and ≤5% plasma cells in bone marrow), partial response (PR; ≥50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥90% or to ≤200 mg per 24 hour; if serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, a ≥50% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC\] levels is required in place of the M-protein criteria; if serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, and serum FLC is also unmeasurable, a ≥50% reduction in plasma cells is required in place of M-protein, provided baseline bone marrow plasma cell percentage was ≥30%; and, if present at baseline, a ≥50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas), very good PR (VGPR; normal FLC ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence), or stringent CR (sCR; CR plus VGPR).

Secondary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (Phase 1)
From first dose of elotuzumab until 60 days following the last infusion (or before initiation of new therapy), up to 100.5 months
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (TESAEs) were collected from first dose of study drug until 60 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 95 months)
Number of Participants With Infusion Reactions
Cycles 1 and 2: Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 (day of infusion of elotuzumab) and Days 2, 9, 16, and 23 (day following infusion); and Cycles 3 and greater: Days 1 and 15 (day of infusion) and Days 2 and 16 (day after infusion) (up to 95 months)

Frequently asked questions about elotuzumab

What is elotuzumab used for?

Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody being developed for hematologic cancer, specifically studied in relapsed multiple myeloma. It is an investigational therapy currently in clinical development and is not approved for any indication.

Who makes elotuzumab?

Elotuzumab is being developed by AbbVie Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ABBV.

What phase is elotuzumab in?

Elotuzumab is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 2 trial and is not yet approved by the FDA, meaning it remains an investigational drug.

What clinical trials is elotuzumab in?

Elotuzumab has been studied in a completed Phase 1b/2 trial with the identifier NCT00742560. This trial enrolled 101 participants with relapsed multiple myeloma and was a controlled, non-randomized study.

How does elotuzumab work?

Elotuzumab is a humanized anti-CS1 monoclonal IgG1 antibody. It targets the CS1 protein, which is expressed on myeloma cells, and is designed to treat hematologic cancer by engaging the immune system against these cells.
