Iberdomide Maintenance after Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation in Newly Diagnosed MM: First Results of the Phase 2 EMN26 Study

Background. Iberdomide is a novel oral cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD TM) with enhanced direct antitumor effects and immune stimulatory effects, compared to lenalidomide or pomalidomide. In the ongoing phase 1/2 CC-220-MM-001 study, iberdomide plus dexamethasone had a favorable safety profile and demonstrated clinically meaningful activity in triple-class refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patients, including those refractory to lenalidomide and pomalidomide (IMiDs ®). Based on these data, we aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of 3 different doses of iberdomide as a novel maintenance treatment post-transplant in newly diagnosed MM patients. Here we report results from the first interim analysis for patients who have been treated with at least 6 treatment cycles, or discontinued treatment earlier.
