Study Rationale  
 Multiple myeloma constitutes approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. High dose 
chemotherapy followed by autologous HCT remains an integral treatment strategy for 
multiple myeloma. Lenalidomide is the most commonly prescribed maintenance therapy 
after autologous HCT, however, disease relapse/progression after autologous HCT remains 
unavoidable secondary to the existence of minimal residual disease and drug resistance 
conferred by tumor microenvironment. When patients relapse/progress after autologous 
HCT, management of disease depends on prior treatment history, organ function and patient 
tolerability to certain chemotherapeutic agents. There are considerable practice variations in 
part due to several FDA approved anti-myeloma agents and there is no consensus on how 
best to treat serologic relapse/progression without symptomatic disease after autologous 
HCT.   
With the incorporation of free light chain assay into the standard clinical practice, 
relapse/progression of myeloma may be captured early and only limited literature is 
available to characterize the pattern of relapse/progression after autologous HCT. A Spanish 
group reported 4 distinctive patterns of relapse/progression including (1) extramedullary 
disease, (2) plasma cell leukemia, (3) clinically symptomatic disease (66%), and (4) insidious 
increase in serum M-spike (18%).5 More recently, Zamarin et al. evaluated 273 patients who 
underwent autologous HCT (79% of them not on maintenance) and showed that 85% of 
patient had asymptomatic relapse/progression detected by serologic testing whereas only 
15% had symptomatic relapse/progression (characterized by anemia, renal failure, 
hypercalcemia, soft tissue or bone disease) after autologous HCT.6 The latter study 
demonstrated increasing frequency of serologic relapse without symptomatic disease after 
autologous HCT over time. It was also shown that the survival was better with asymptomatic 
relapse/progression.6 A Spanish group conducted an observation prospective registry study 
evaluating the timing and patter of relapsed disease in myeloma patients.7 The median time 
from biological/serologic relapse to clinical (symptomatic) relapse was 105 days which is 
relatively short.7 Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule family-7 (SLAMF7, also known as 
CS1 or CD319) is a human membrane glycoprotein and member of the immunoglobulin 
superfamily.8,9 SLAMF7 is expressed on myeloma cell surface on both primary human 
myeloma cells and myeloma cell lines.9 Soluble SLAMF7 has also been detected in myeloma 
patients’ serum and has been shown to correlate with myeloma disease stage.8 Additionally, 
SLAMF7 is expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell subsets.10,11 The CS1/SLAMF7 gene 
is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q23.1-1q24.1), and gains of chromosome 1q 
are relatively frequent in myeloma.12 SLAMF7 has been demonstrated to co-localize with 
CD138 promoting cell-cell adhesion, and plays a role in myeloma cell interactions with bone 
marrow stromal cells.8,13 SLAMF7 is a self-ligand for NK cells and promotes activation 
through selective expression of the adaptor protein, EAT-2.14-16 Furthermore, SLAMF7 may 
inhibit T cells that lack EAT-2.14 Elotuzumab (previously called HuLuc63) is a humanized 
immunoglobulin G1 anti-CS1/SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody that has been shown to impair 
myeloma cell adhesion. In vitro studies  
 
 
have shown impaired primary myeloma cell survival with or without bone marrow stromal 
cells.8 Elotuzumab is thought to exert effects on myeloma cells through antibody-dependent 
cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) which is mediated by NK cells through interaction of their 
Fcγ RIIIa receptor.8,9,17 Elotuzumab also directly activate NK cells through direct SLAMF7 
ligation.18,19 In a phase 1 dose escalation study of Elotuzumab in 35 advanced myeloma

Secondary  
Objectives  
  
• 
Overall response rate (ORR) with Elotuzumab and lenalidomide for each cohort  
• 
Minimum response (MR) or better rate with Elotuzumab and lenalidomide for each 
cohort  
• 
Time to next treatment (TTNT) for each cohort  
• 
Comparison of clinical outcomes (cohort A versus B)  
• 
Fcγ RIIIa receptor polymorphisms (homozygous for high-affinity V (VV) allele vs. low  
affinity F (FF) allele)  
• 
Effect of Elotuzumab added to lenalidomide on phenotypic characteristics of the 
immune infiltrate and correlation with therapeutic efficacy  
  
Sample Size  
In a randomized phase 2 study of lenalidomide single agent therapy (either 30 mg daily or 15 
mg PO twice daily days 1-21 out of 28-day cycle) in relapsed/refractory myeloma where 
dexamethasone was added after 2 cycles if progressive or stable disease, median PFS was 7.7 
months with once-daily lenalidomide (compared to 3.9 months with twice daily 
lenalidomide).24 In a phase 3 study, a combination of 
Elotuzumab/lenalidomide/dexamethasone vs. lenalidomide/dexamethasone in 
relapsed/refractory myeloma showed PFS of 19.4 months vs. 14.9 months (with 5 months 
benefit).1 Based on these results, we assume that in patients receiving single agent 
lenalidomide maintenance even if the dose of lenalidomide was increased to the maximum 
dose of 25 mg PO daily, those patients who are experiencing serologic relapse/progression 
would have at best 7 months of median PFS and a Spanish study indicated approximately 3 
months until clinical progression (without any study). We hypothesize that the addition of 
Elotuzumab to maintenance lenalidomide would improve PFS to 12 months (with addition of 
5 months benefit). We anticipate that approximately 3 subjects per month will be accrued 
over 24 months.  The statistical power was computed based on the assumptions; (1) null PFS 
of 7 months and alternative PFS of 12 months, (2) the projected accrual of 24 months, (3) a 
follow-up time of 12 months, and (4) an one-sided alpha of 0.05. With these assumptions, a 
sample size of 30 patients per cohort would have 85% power to reject the null hypothesis of 
7 months (versus alternative of 12 months, hazard ratio 0.58).  As the primary goal of the 
study is to investigate the clinical benefit of each combination regimen, results of the cohort 
(A) and cohort (B) will be reported separately and additional comparative analyses will be 
performed as an exploratory aim.  The final analysis for primary endpoint will be conducted if 
28 PFS events are observed.

Study Design  
Randomized parallel 2-cohort phase 2 study of Elotuzumab given at 10 mg/kg weekly during 
induction in combination with lenalidomide (either 25 mg or 10 mg) in patients with multiple 
myeloma who progress or relapse serologically while on single agent lenalidomide 
maintenance. Patients will be randomized to either (1) cohort A = lenalidomide 25 mg PO 
daily days 1-21 with Elotuzumab or (2) cohort B = lenalidomide 10 mg PO daily days 1-21 with 
Elotuzumab. We selected the dose of Elotuzumab at 10 mg/kg weekly dosing followed by 
monthly infusion of 20 mg/kg based on the safety and tolerability profile in the published 
phase 3 study and other studies of combination therapy with bortezomib,1-3 as well as an 
ongoing study in combination with pomalidomide (NCT02612779). Elotuzumab will be 
administered intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 during the first 2 cycles, then on day 1 of 
each cycle starting third cycle. The combination therapy with Elotuzumab and lenalidomide 
will be continued until further progression of myeloma (based on response criteria) or 
intolerability.

1.0 Introduction  
 
1.2  
Overview and Study Rationale  
Multiple myeloma constitutes approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. High-dose chemotherapy 
followed by autologous HCT remains an integral treatment strategy for multiple myeloma. Lenalidomide is the 
most commonly prescribed maintenance therapy after autologous HCT, however, disease relapse/progression 
after autologous HCT remains unavoidable secondary to the existence of minimal residual disease and drug 
resistance conferred by tumor microenvironment. When patients relapse/progress after autologous HCT, 
management of disease depends on prior treatment history, organ function and patient tolerability to certain 
chemotherapeutic agents. There are considerable practice variations in part due to several FDA approved 
antimyeloma agents and there is no consensus on how best to treat serologic relapse/progression without 
symptomatic disease after autologous HCT.   
  
With the incorporation of free light chain assay into the standard clinical practice, relapse/progression of myeloma 
may be captured early and only limited literature is available to characterize the pattern of relapse/progression 
after autologous HCT. A Spanish group reported 4 distinctive patterns of relapse/progression including (1) 
extramedullary disease, (2) plasma cell leukemia, (3) clinically symptomatic disease (66%), and (4) insidious 
increase in serum M-spike (18%).5 More recently, Zamarin et al. evaluated 273 patients who underwent autologous 
HCT (79% of them not on maintenance) and showed that 85% of patient had asymptomatic relapse/progression 
detected by serologic testing whereas only 15% had symptomatic relapse/progression (characterized by anemia, 
renal failure, hypercalcemia, soft tissue or bone disease) after autologous HCT.6 The latter study demonstrated 
increasing frequency of serologic relapse without symptomatic disease after autologous HCT over time. It was also 
shown that the survival was better with asymptomatic relapse/progression.6 A Spanish group conducted an 
observation prospective registry study evaluating the timing and patter of relapsed disease in myeloma patients.7 
The median time from biological/serologic relapse to clinical (symptomatic) relapse was 105 days which is 
relatively short.7  
  
Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule family-7 (SLAMF7, also known as CS1 or CD319) is a human membrane 
glycoprotein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily.8,9 SLAMF7 is expressed on myeloma cell surface on 
both primary human myeloma cells and myeloma cell lines.9 Soluble SLAMF7 has also been detected in myeloma 
patients’ serum and has been shown to correlate with myeloma disease stage.8 Additionally, SLAMF7 is expressed 
in natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell subsets.10,11 The CS1/SLAMF7 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1  
(1q23.1-1q24.1), and gains of chromosome 1q are relatively frequent in myeloma.12 SLAMF7 has been 
demonstrated to co-localize with CD138 promoting cell-cell adhesion, and plays a role in myeloma cell interactions 
with bone marrow stromal cells.8,13 SLAMF7 is a self-ligand for NK cells and promotes activation through selective 
expression of the adaptor protein, EAT-2.14-16 Furthermore, SLAMF7 may inhibit T cells that lack EAT-2.14  
  
Elotuzumab (previously called HuLuc63) is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 anti-CS1/SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody 
that has been shown to impair myeloma cell adhesion. In vitro studies have shown impaired primary myeloma cell 
survival with or without bone marrow stromal cells.8 Elotuzumab is thought to exert effects on myeloma cells 
through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) which is mediated by NK cells through interaction of their 
Fcγ RIIIa receptor.8,9,17 Elotuzumab also directly activates NK cells through direct SLAMF7 ligation.18,19 In a phase 1 
dose escalation study of Elotuzumab in 35 advanced myeloma patients, there was no maximum tolerated dose 
(MTD) identified up to 20 mg/kg (given every 14 days for 8 weeks).20 Nine out of 34 patients (26.5%) had stable 
disease at day 56, suggesting limited single agent activity. At doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg of Elotuzumab, SLAMF7 
receptors on bone marrow-derived myeloma cells were consistently saturated.20 Mean terminal phase half-life

Page 14 of 48 Version 06 Dated 07/22/2019  
increased with a dose escalation (T1/2 of 7.8 days with 20 mg/kg) suggesting a saturation of target-mediated 
elimination.20 Transient decreases in lymphocyte counts were observed (within hours, in both CS1+ and CS1- 
subsets) but returned to baseline levels by day 7.20 Several phase II and III trials using combination therapy with 
Elotuzumab have been conducted in myeloma.21 Most recently, a phase 3 trial comparing Elotuzumab (10 mg/kg 
days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for first 2 cycles, then on days 1 and 15 with third cycle), lenalidomide and dexamethasone 
with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory myeloma has been reported.1 After a median follow-
up of 24.5 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 19.4 months in Elotuzumab group vs. 14.9 months 
in control group (P < 0.001).1 This very promising anti-CS1/SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody therapy with Elotuzumab 
has now been FDA approved and added to the armamentarium of anti-myeloma therapy. Overall, Elotuzumab 
appears to be well tolerated, with most common adverse events with single agent therapy being infusion-related 
reactions.22 In the phase 3 trial, Elotuzumab group had higher grade 3-4 lymphopenia (77% vs. 49%).1 There was 
also a suggestion that grade 3 or 4 neutropenia incidence may be lower in Elotuzumab group (34% vs. 44%). Based 
on the prior clinical studies of Elotuzumab in relapse/refractory myeloma, Elotuzumab was demonstrated to be 
safe and effective for its treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg in combination with lenalidomide.  
  
As noted previously, it is critical that the Fc portion of Elotuzumab is able to bind to the Fcγ RIIIa receptor 
expressed on NK cells.8,9 The Fcγ RIIIa gene has allelic variation that determines the affinity of the Fcγ RIIIa receptor 
for IgG1 antibodies such as elotuzumab.9 In a phase 2 study of Elotuzumab plus bortezomib/dexamethasone for  
relapse/refractory multiple myeloma, Jakubowiak et al. evaluated the associations of Fcγ RIIIa receptor  
           polymorphisms and clinical outcomes.23 Patients who were homozygous for the high-affinity Fcγ RIIIa V (VV) allele 
had a longer PFS compared to those with homozygous for the low-affinity Fcγ RIIIa (FF) allele (22.3 months vs. 9.8 
months),23 suggesting the importance of evaluation of Fcγ RIIIa polymorphisms to predict better disease control in 
subsets of myeloma patients.  
  
Study Rationale:    
Disruption of interactions between myeloma cells and the microenvironment by targeting SLAMF7 using 
Elotuzumab (anti-CS1/SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody) could potentially abrogate drug-resistance and sensitize cells 
that are losing response to lenalidomide. Elotuzumab could potentially increase the NK cell activity in the context 
of lenalidomide therapy. We hypothesize that addition of Elotuzumab to myeloma patients who demonstrate 
serologic relapse/progression to single agent lenalidomide maintenance may modulate anti-myeloma immune 
response and render those patients into better response and prolong time to progression.   
 
1.3  
Overview of Elotuzumab  
  
Elotuzumab (EMPLICITI™, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company [BMS], New York, NY, USA) is a fully humanized 
recombinant monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds human SLAMF7 (also CS1, CRACC). The 
unique epitope of Elotuzumab is located within the membrane proximal C2 domain of SLAMF7. The cell surface 
glycoprotein SLAMF7 is universally and highly expressed on patient MM cells, irrespective of cytogenetic 
abnormalities and the degree of disease progression. The exact role of SLAMF7 in myeloma cells is still unknown. 
Stable knockdown of SLAMF7 in MM cells resulted in decreased cell growth and colony formation in vitro,25 as well 
as reduced tumor burden and increased survival of animals in a xenograft mouse model.26 Homing of myeloma 
cells to the bone marrow, adhesion, and survival within the bone marrow microenvironment were impacted, 
indicating an involvement of SLAMF7 in the pathogenesis of MM. Elotuzumab has been evaluated for the 
treatment of MM in a series of clinical trials. The first-in-human study (Study 1701) assessed safety and tolerability 
as well as PK of Elotuzumab as a single agent. However, the antitumor effects of Elotuzumab were largely 
determined in combination with established myeloma therapies. In Study 1701, the safety and tolerability as well 


    
  
 
Protocol

Elotuzumab/Lenalidomide  
  
Page 15 of 48 Version 06 Dated 07/22/2019  
as PK and pharmacodynamics of different doses of Elotuzumab (dose cohorts from 0.5 to 20 mg/kg body weight) 
were analyzed in 35 patients with RRMM. Saturation of SLAMF7 receptors was observed at Elotuzumab doses of 
10–20 mg/kg. Despite plasma cell target saturation, no objective myeloma responses were observed.20 Based on 
the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation myeloma response criteria, 25 patients (73.5%) had 
progressive disease and nine patients (26.5%) were classified as having stable disease, demonstrating minimal 
single-agent activity of Elotuzumab. These findings substantiate the challenge to effectively activate and direct cells 
of the immune system to kill myeloma cells in patients with compromised immune function, in particular, with 
compromised NK cell function. In Study 1701, patients were heavily pretreated and had received a median of 4.5 
prior therapies including lenalidomide, thalidomide, and/or bortezomib.  To further evaluate the association 
between NK cell status and the efficacy of Elotuzumab monotherapy, a Phase II biomarker study (Study CA204011) 
is currently ongoing in patients with high-risk smoldering MM.  
 
1.3.1  
Combination studies of Lenalidomide and Elotuzumab  
  
Lenalidomide is an oral IMiD that has been shown to directly kill MM cells, stimulate T cells to produce IL-2, 
increase NK cell proliferation, and lower the threshold required for NK cell activation.27,28 Based on data of several 
Phase III trials, lenalidomide in combination with low-dose dexamethasone (L/d) was approved for treatment of 
newly diagnosed MM patients ineligible for stem cell transplantation29 and of patients with relapsed MM who have 
received at least one prior therapy.30,31 A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials confirmed the survival 
advantage of treatment with L/d compared with other first-line therapies in patients with previously untreated 
MM.32   
The triple combination therapy of Elotuzumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (E–L/d) was evaluated in a Phase 
I/II dose escalation study (Study 1703) and two large Phase III studies (ELOQUENT-1 and -2) in patients with newly 
diagnosed MM and RRMM, respectively. While ELOQUENT-1 is still ongoing with first results to be expected in 
2017, data of ELOQUENT-2 are already available showing substantial evidence of effectiveness for E–L/d in the 
treatment of patients with RRMM who have received one to three prior therapies.  
In this study, a total of 646 patients were enrolled (321 in the E–L/d arm and 325 in the L/d arm). Efficacy results of  
635 treated patients showed a significant increase in tumor response of 78.5% versus 65.5% and median 
progression-free survival (mPFS) of 19.4 versus 14.9 months of E–L/d over L/d, respectively33. Based on data of a 
3year follow-up analysis, the progression-free survival (PFS) benefit of patients on E–L/d was maintained during 
this period. Exploratory analysis revealed a median delay of 1 year in the time to next treatment in patients treated 
with E–L/d compared with L/d-treated patients (33 months on E–L/d vs 21 months on L/d). Preliminary analysis of 
overall survival (OS) also indicated an advantage for patients treated with E–L/d.34 Of note, the benefit in PFS and 
OS of patients on E–L/d was observed for all patient subgroups independent of age, disease stage, response to 
most recent line of therapy, number and nature of prior therapies, as well as high-risk cytogenetic profile.33,34   
Based on the Phase III efficacy data and the observed adverse events (AEs) (see “Safety of Elotuzumab treatment”), 
both the FDA and the EMA approved Elotuzumab in combination with lenalidomide at 25 mg days 121 and 
dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with RRMM.  
Safety and tolerability data showed that minimal incremental toxicity was associated with addition of Elotuzumab 
to L/d. Significant differences in grade 3/4 AEs were observed for lymphopenia (78% on E–L/d vs 49% on L/d) and 
neutropenia (35% on E–L/d vs 44% on L/d). The rates for other grade 3/4 AEs including anemia, thrombocytopenia, 
cardiac or renal disorders were similar between the treatment groups. Infections (any grade) were reported in 83% 
of patients in the Elotuzumab group versus 75% in the control group. After adjustment for drug exposure, infection 
rates were equal in the two groups (196 and 193 events per 100 patient-years on E–L/d and L/d, respectively).35 
The incidence of herpes zoster infections was 4.1 versus 2.2 per 100 patient-years, respectively. Despite the finding 
of increased lymphopenia which may reflect alterations in lymphocyte trafficking, there was no evidence of

Page 16 of 48 Version 06 Dated 07/22/2019  
increased autoimmunity or other sequelae of immune dysregulation.33 This confirmed previous results in whole 
blood samples from healthy individuals tested for the effects of Elotuzumab on the numbers of T, NK, and B cells.  
Elotuzumab treatment did not result in substantial depletion of major lymphocyte subsets.36   
Infusion reactions (mostly grade 1/2) occurred in only 11% of patients treated with E–L/d35 and usually presented 
as pyrexia, chills, headache, flushing, and/or hypertension. Most infusion reactions were observed during the first 
dose of Elotuzumab. They were usually mild to moderate and resolved spontaneously within 24 hours or after 
management as clinically indicated. No patient experienced grade 4–5 reactions, and all but two patients could 
continue Elotuzumab treatment.33   
Furthermore, second primary malignancies were observed in 7% of patients on E–L/d compared with 4% on L/d. 
However, after adjustment for exposure to study therapy, the incidence rates were similar at 3.5 and 2.8 second 
primary cancers per 100 patient-years, respectively.33   
In Study CA204-112 (NCT02159365), treatment of Elotuzumab administered over ~1 hour in combination with L/d 
was evaluated in 70 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM.37,38 All patients were required to 
have a premedication regimen before each dose of Elotuzumab. The infusion rate was accelerated from 0.5 to 5 
mL/min at the start of the third dose in treatment cycle 1. At data cutoff, infusion reactions were observed in only 
two patients. The reactions were of grade 1/2 intensity and both patients continued treatment with Elotuzumab. 
No grade 3/4 infusion reactions had occurred by the end of treatment cycle 2. The administration of Elotuzumab at 
a faster rate may provide a safe option to reduce treatment time for patients.

Overall study design   
  
Randomized parallel 2-cohort phase 2 study of Elotuzumab given at 10 mg/kg weekly during induction in 
combination with lenalidomide (either 25 mg or 10 mg) in patients with multiple myeloma who progress or relapse 
serologically while on single agent lenalidomide maintenance. Patients will be randomized to either (1) cohort A = 
lenalidomide 25 mg PO daily days 1-21 or (2) cohort B = lenalidomide 10 mg PO daily days 1-21 with Elotuzumab. 
We selected the dose of Elotuzumab at 10 mg/kg weekly dosing followed by monthly infusion of 20 mg/kg based 
on the safety and tolerability profile in the published phase 3 study and other studies of combination therapy with

bortezomib,1-3 as well as an ongoing study in combination with pomalidomide (NCT02612779). Elotuzumab will be 
administered intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 during the first 2 cycles, then on day 1 of each cycle staring 
third cycle. The combination therapy with Elotuzumab and lenalidomide will be continued until further progression 
of myeloma (based on response criteria) or intolerability.  
  
A total of 60 eligible patients will be randomized into one of two study arms in 1:1 ratio. Stratification factors are 
risk (standard vs. high) and lenalidomide maintenance post-transplant (yes vs. no). A permuted-block 
randomization will be applied to ensure a balanced assignment to each treatment arm. Randomization will be 
accomplished using the Moffitt Cancer Center web-based Subject Registration and Randomization System (SRAR). 
The SRAR program is accessed using an individual secure identification key that authenticates the user into the 
Moffitt network.  
  
  
Combination dosing schedule:  
(1) Cohort A:   
• 
Elotuzumab 10 mg/kg IV weekly (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) for 2 cycles, then 20 mg/kg every 4 weeks  
• 
Lenalidomide 25 mg PO daily days 1-21 out of a 28-day schedule  
  
(2) Cohort B:   
• 
Elotuzumab 10 mg/kg IV weekly (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) for 2 cycles, then 20 mg/kg every 4 weeks  
• 
Lenalidomide 10 mg PO daily days 1-21 out of a 28-day schedule  
  
  
Response assessment:  
The Consensus on Uniform Reporting of Response will be used to evaluate response.4 Myeloma patients enrolled in 
this clinical study will be assessed for disease response after every cycle. Time to disease progression will be 
defined as the time from the day first Elotuzumab treatment to the time of myeloma progression.

Based on the emerging data on accelerated infusion, the infusion rate of Elotuzumab will be at 0.5 mL/min for the 
first 30 minutes, 1 mL/min from 30 to 60 minutes, then 2 mL/min from 60 minutes and beyond on cycle 1 day 1. On 
cycle 1 day 8, infusion rate will be 3 mL/min for the first 30 minutes, then 4 mL/min from 30 minutes and beyond. 
Infusion rate will be 5 mL/min from cycle 1 day 15 and after. All patients will receive pre-medication with 
antihistamine (25 – 50 mg of diphenhydramine PO or IV), H2 blocker (such as ranitidine 50 mg IV or 150 mg PO or 
equivalent) and acetaminophen (650 – 1000 mg) PO for potential infusion reactions. As part of pre-medication, 
dexamethasone 28 mg PO will be given between 3 and 24 hours before Elotuzumab and 8 mg IV between 45 and 
90 minutes before Elotuzumab as prescribed in the package insert.  
5.4 Elotuzumab  
  
Elotuzumab will be administered intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 during the first 2 cycles, then on day 1 of 
each cycle staring third cycle. Based on the emerging data on accelerated infusion, the infusion rate of Elotuzumab 
will be at 0.5 mL/min for the first 30 minutes, 1 mL/min from 30 to 60 minutes, then 2 mL/min from 60 minutes 
and beyond on cycle 1 day 1. On cycle 1 day 8, infusion rate will be 3 mL/min for the first 30 minutes, then 4 
mL/min from 30 minutes and beyond. Infusion rate will be 5 mL/min from cycle 1 day 15 and after. All patients will 
receive pre-medication with antihistamine (25 – 50 mg of diphenhydramine PO or IV), H2 blocker (such as 
ranitidine 50 mg IV or 150 mg PO or equivalent) and acetaminophen (650 – 1000 mg) PO for potential infusion 
reactions. As part of pre-medication, dexamethasone 28 mg PO will be given between 3 and 24 hours before 
Elotuzumab and 8 mg IV between 45 and 90 minutes before Elotuzumab as prescribed in the package insert.   
  
  
  
5.5 Lenalidomide  
Lenalidomide will be taken once-daily by mouth days 1-21 of each cycle at 25 or 10 mg daily depending on the 
treatment cohort to whom the subject is randomized to, with or without food. Lenalidomide capsules should be 
swallowed whole with water. The capsules should not be opened, broken, or chewed. Subjects will be instructed to 
take the lenalidomide dose at approximately the same time every day. If a planned administration of lenalidomide 
is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible within the same calendar day with a return to schedule the 
following day. If a calendar day of dosing is missed, subjects should not make up doses, but should resume the 
dosing regimen on schedule with the next course. Missed doses must be reported.  
For female subjects of childbearing potential, non-pregnant state must be documented prior to the first dose of lenalidomide, 
and prior to the start of each subsequent cycle.

5.6 Interruption or discontinuation of treatment  
For patients who are unable to tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule, dose adjustments are permitted in 
order to keep the patient on study drug. Toxicity will be assessed using the NIH-NCI Common Terminology Criteria 
for Adverse Events, version 5.0 (CTCAEv5.0),   
(http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/docs/ctcaev5.pdf)). All interruption or 
changes to study drug administration must be recorded.   
5.7 Dose modifications for Elotuzumab  
 If a Grade 2 or higher infusion reaction occurs during Elotuzumab administration, interrupt 
the infusion and institute appropriate medical and supportive measures. Upon resolution 
to Grade 1 or lower, restart EMPLICITI at 0.5 mL per minute and gradually increase at a 
rate of 0.5 mL per minute every 30 minutes as tolerated to the rate at which the infusion 
reaction occurred. Resume the escalation regimen if there is no recurrence of  
the infusion reaction. In patients who experience an infusion reaction, monitor vital signs every 30 
minutes for 2 hours after the end of the Elotuzumab infusion. If the infusion reaction recurs, stop the 
infusion and do not restart on that day.  Severe infusion reactions may require permanent discontinuation 
of Elotuzumab therapy and emergency treatment.

Treatment guidelines for specific hematologic toxicities and nonhematologic toxicities are outlined below. In 
addition to dose reductions, administration of lenalidomide may be held temporarily in the event of a treatment 
related toxicity at the investigator’s discretion.  
If the lenalidomide dose is reduced during a given cycle, the reduced dose level will be continued for the next 
cycle. If the reduced dose level is tolerated for a complete cycle, the subject may, at the investigator’s discretion, 
resume the dose level prior to the reduction at the start of the subsequent cycle.  
Lenalidomide can be discontinued in the event of a treatment-related toxicity that, in the opinion of the 
investigator, warrants discontinuation. The subject will be considered still on protocol treatment as long as 
Elotuzumab is being administered.

Study drug discontinuation  
It will be documented whether or not each patient completed the clinical study. If for any patient either study 
treatment or observations were discontinued, the reason will be recorded.   
Reasons that a patient may discontinue treatment are considered to constitute one of the following:  
1. Subject’s condition no longer requires study treatment (e.g. satisfactory therapeutic response)  
2. Clinical relapse/progression as per the IMWG uniform criteria defined as one or more of the following criteria:  
a. Development of new soft tissue plasmacytomas or bone lesions (osteoporotic fractures do not 
constitute progression)  
b. Definite increase in the size of existing plasmacytomas or bone lesions. A definite increase is defined 
as a 50% (and ≥1 cm) increase as measured serially of the measurable lesion  
c.  Hypercalcemia (>11 mg/dL);  
                        d. Decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL not related to therapy or other non-myeloma-related conditions;

Follow-up for toxicities  
Patients whose treatment is interrupted or permanently discontinued due to an adverse event or abnormal 
laboratory value must be followed until resolution or stabilization of the event, whichever comes first.   
If a patient requires a dose delay of > 21 days from the intended day of the next scheduled dose, then the patient 
must be discontinued from the study. If however the patient was clearly benefiting from therapy, the patient may 
be able to continue treatment with either a 5 mg or 10 mg dose reduction at the Investigator discretion, after 
resolution of the adverse event. All patients will be followed for adverse events and serious adverse events for at 
least 4 weeks following the last dose of study treatment.   
 
5.10  
Other concomitant medications  
Patients must be instructed not to take any additional medications (including over-the-counter products) during 
the trial without prior consultation with the investigator. All medications taken within 30 days of screening should 
be recorded. If concomitant therapy must be added or changed, the reason and name of the drug/therapy should 
be recorded.  
In general, the use of any concomitant medication/therapies deemed necessary for the care of the patient are 
allowed, including drugs given prophylactically (e.g. antiemetics) with the following exceptions:  
• 
No other investigational therapy should be given to patients  
• 
No anticancer agents other than the study medications administered as part of this study protocol should be 
given to patients. If such agents are required for a patient then the patient must first be withdrawn from the 
study.  
• 
Leukocyte growth factors (e.g. G-CSF and GM-CSF) are not to be administered systematically but may be 
prescribed by the investigator for severe neutropenia if this is thought to be appropriate.   
• Bisphosphonates are allowed.

Anticoagulant Prophylaxis  
Aspirin (or other anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication such as clopidogrel bisulfate, low-molecular-weight 
heparin, or warfarin or factor X inhibitors), is a required concomitant medication while taking lenalidomide. In 
subjects with a prior history of deep vein thrombosis, low-molecular-weight heparin or therapeutic doses of 
warfarin (for a target international normalized ratio of 2–3) are required. Enteric-coated aspirin once-daily by 
mouth at the standard prophylactic dose should be administered for the duration of treatment with lenalidomide. 
Subjects with known high thrombotic risk, e.g., prior deep vein thrombosis, should receive full anticoagulation at 
the investigator’s discretion  
Contraception  
Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:  
∙Avoid pregnancy for at least 4 weeks before beginning lenalidomide  
∙Have a negative pregnancy tests within 7 days prior to starting treatment, and each subsequent cycle.  
∙Pregnancy tests monthly during treatment after the first month or semimonthly for women of childbearing 
potential with irregular menstruation  
∙Agree to abstain from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of effective contraception beginning 4 
weeks prior to initiating treatment with lenalidomide, during therapy, during dose interruptions and for 3 months 
following last dose of drug (more frequent pregnancy tests may be conducted if required per local regulations) An 
FCBP is defined as a sexually mature female who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral 
oophorectomy, or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least  
24 consecutive months (i.e., no menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). Amenorrhea 
following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential.  
Male subjects and their partners must use 1 highly effective method of birth control plus 1 additional effective 
method of birth control (contraception) at the SAME TIME during treatment and for 3 months following the last 
dose of drug, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy. Male subjects must not donate sperm while 
taking lenalidomide and for 28 days after stopping lenalidomide.  
Highly effective methods of contraception include:  
∙Intrauterine device (IUD)  
∙Hormonal therapy (birth control pills, injections, implants)  
∙Tubal ligation  
∙Vasectomy  
Additional effective methods include:

correlative studies will be collected at baseline, Cycle 2 day 1, and thereafter for confirmation of CR, and at time of disease progression to analyze marrow-infiltrating immune populations by 
MPFC.  In parallel, PBMCs, isolated from 20-30mL freshly drawn sample, will be analyzed similarly at 4-week intervals corresponding to Day 1 of each cycle as well as at time of progression.    
2. 
MRD testing will be performed at screening, by flow cytometry and NSG on patients and as indicated on patients in hematologic complete remission. An aliquot of 
serum will be stored for those patients with IgGk MM who achieved VGPR to evaluate extent of interference by the antibody therapy.                                               
3. 
Bone survey will be done at screening and once yearly or when clinically indicated. May be substituted by PET scan or MRI as clinically indicated  
4. 
Response assessment will be done every 2 cycles.  
5. 
Study drug diaries will be collected after each cycle  
6. 
Will only capture in CRF if related to adverse event.  
7. 
All females of childbearing potential should complete a serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the administration of Elotuzumab and lenalidomide on day 1 of cycle 1. The pregnancy test 
should be repeated in week 1 of every cycle (except for cycle 1). Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic for ≥ 12 months in order to be considered “of non-childbearing 
potential”.  
8. 
Only grade > 2 adverse events possibly related to study drug will be captured in CRF 
9. 
For patients with urine M spike of less than 200 mg/24 hours at screening, 24-hour urine collection with UPEP will be done every other cycle)  
 
 
6.2 Efficacy assessments  
  
Response will be determined by the investigator based on the disease assessments described above and the 
IMWG-URC (see definitions in Appendix B). Myeloma response will be assessed at the beginning of each cycle.   
  
The following confirmatory assessments are required for all response categories (stringent complete response 
[sCR], CR, VGPR, and PR) and progressive disease:  
∙All laboratory-based progressive disease and all responses require 2 consecutive assessments made at any time 
before initiation of any new therapy. Confirmatory lab samples should be separated by at least 1 calendar day 
∙Progressive disease by nonlaboratory-based assessment (i.e.; plasmacytoma or skeletal lesion) does not require 
confirmatory report  
∙All response categories also require no evidence of progression including new bone lesions if radiographic studies 
were performed  
∙Confirmation of CR or sCR requires bone marrow biopsy or aspirate slides (a confirmatory bone marrow sample is 
not required)  
∙Extramedullary plasmacytoma evaluation (if present at baseline)  
  
6.3 Safety assessments  
Safety assessments will consist of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the 
regular monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry, vital signs, ECOG performance status, and the regular physical 
examinations .  
Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

6.3.1 Adverse events  
Information about all adverse events, whether volunteered by the subject, discovered by investigator questioning, 
or detected through physical examination, laboratory test or other means, will be collected and recorded and 
followed as appropriate. Adverse events will be collected from cycle 1, day 1, and while the patients are on study 
treatment only.  
An adverse event is the appearance or worsening of any undesirable sign, symptom, or medical condition occurring 
after starting the study drug even if the event is not considered to be related to study drug. Medical 
conditions/diseases present before starting study drug are only considered adverse events if they worsen after 
starting study drug. Abnormal laboratory values or test results constitute adverse events only if they induce clinical 
signs or symptoms, are considered clinically significant, or require therapy.  
The occurrence of adverse events should be sought by non-directive questioning of the patient at each visit during 
the study. Adverse events also may be detected when they are volunteered by the patient during or between visits 
or through physical examination, laboratory test, or other assessments. As far as possible, each adverse event 
should be evaluated to determine:  
1. the severity grade (mild, moderate, severe) or (grade 1-4)  
2. its relationship to the study drug(s) (suspected/not suspected)  
3. its duration (start and end dates or if continuing at final exam)  
4. action taken (no action taken; study drug dosage adjusted/temporarily interrupted; study drug permanently 
discontinued due to this adverse event; concomitant medication taken; non-drug therapy given; 
hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization)  
5. whether it constitutes a serious adverse event (SAE)  
All adverse events should be treated appropriately. Such treatment may include changes in study drug treatment 
including possible interruption or discontinuation, starting or stopping concomitant treatments, changes in the 
frequency or nature of assessments, hospitalization, or any other medically required intervention. Once an adverse 
event is detected, it should be followed until its resolution, and assessment should be made at each visit (or more 
frequently, if necessary) of any changes in severity, the suspected relationship to the study drug, the interventions 
required to treat it, and the outcome.  
Information about common side effects already known about the investigational drug can be found in the 
[Investigators’ Brochure] or will be communicated between IB updates in the form of Investigator Notifications. 
This information will be included in the patient informed consent and should be discussed with the patient during 
the study as needed.  
Only grade > 2 adverse events possibly related to study drug will be captured in CRF Adverse 
events will NOT be collected under following circumstances:  
1. Grade 1 unrelated adverse events  
2. During screening phase or before cycle 1, day 1 of treatment  
6.3.2 Vital signs  
Vital sign assessment consists of height (first visit), pulse, blood pressure, respiration rate, temperature and 
weight.

6.3.3 Physical examination  
Physical examination will be performed which must comprise a total body examination.  
Significant findings made after the start of study drug which meet the definition of an Adverse Event must be 
recorded.  
6.3.4 Laboratory evaluations  
Laboratory evaluation should be done at screening (within 28 days of cycle 1, day 1),   and on day 1 of each 
treatment cycle. Results must be reviewed prior to administering Elotuzumab. More frequent examinations may be 
performed if medically indicated; results should be recorded.   
Hematology  
Hematology must include hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, total white blood cell count (WBC) and differential.   
Blood chemistry  
Biochemistry includes the following parameters: BUN, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2 (HCO3), 
glucose, calcium, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST/SGOT, ALT/SGPT. If total 
bilirubin is greater than the upper limit of normal, direct and indirect bilirubin should be performed.   
Serum pregnancy test  
All females of childbearing potential should complete a serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the 
administration of Elotuzumab and lenalidomide on day 1 of cycle 1. The pregnancy test should be repeated in week 
1 of every cycle (except for cycle 1). Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic for ≥ 12 months in 
order to be considered “of non-childbearing potential”.  
Performance status  
Performance status will be assessed by ECOG performance status scale.  
  
6.4 Disease assessments  
Disease assessments will be performed at Screening (within 28 days before dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1) and at Day 1 
of each treatment cycle.  
  
Disease assessments at Screening (within 28 days before dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1) include the following:  
∙Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), urine protein electrophoresis  
(UPEP; 24-hour assessment, no substitute method is acceptable), and immunofixation  
 
(UPEP; 24-hour assessment, no substitute method is acceptable. For patients with urine M spike of less than 200 
mg/24 hours at screening, 24 hour urine collection with UPEP will be done every other cycle), and immunofixation

response (CR) and at time of clinical relapse  
  
Serum protein electrophoresis, UPEP, SFLC, and quantitative immunoglobulin analyses will be performed at the 
local laboratory.  
  
6.5 MRD Testing and Lab correlatives (see study calendar) 
Analysis of MRD status will be performed on all subjects by 2 methods:  
1. Flow cytometry (FC) of cell surface markers and   
2. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of DNA and/or RNA from the Ig locus.   
The MRD analysis by FC will be performed on bone marrow aspirate samples collected at 2 time points: At 
screening and/or upon achieving a hematologic CR.   
3. Identify phenotypic characteristics of the immune infiltrate that predict therapeutic efficacy of Elotuzumab and 
correlate with survival outcomes in MM care.   
 Predictive modeling of therapeutic efficacy in an era of immunotherapy must necessarily include parameters 
derived from immunologic aspects of the tumor microenvironment.  The anti-myeloma immune response evolves 
in conjunction with the progression of disease25-28 while simple, distinctive patterns identified in the infiltrating 
immune population can hold prognostic relevance29,30.  Similarly, characterization of distinct phenotypic changes in 
peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in high-risk smoldering MM patients exposed a pattern indicative of T cell 
dysfunction that was reversed with exposure to lenalidomide28.  In-depth characterization of lymphocytic and 
myeloid populations infiltrating the marrow of MM patients, monitoring changes in recruitment, phenotype and 
function of critical effector/regulatory populations, should identify critical queues that will inform clinical decisions 
to guide optimization of delivery of Elotuzumab in terms of timing and sequencing with ideal therapeutic partners 
such as IMiDs and checkpoint inhibitors.  Furthermore, this signature should be detectable in circulating PBL using 
enhanced multiparameter flow cytometry (MPFC).  
  
We have developed an approach to define these 
immunologic populations in much greater detail using 
MPFC.   Leukocytes will be isolated from bone marrow 
aspirates by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient centrifugation after 
prior extraction of MM cells by CD138 positive magnetic 
bead selection.  In parallel, leukocytes will be isolated in 
similar fashion from peripheral blood samples from each 
patient.  After adequate viability is determined (>85% 
viable by trypan blue exclusion), leukocyte cell fractions 
from each patient sample, will be prepared according to 
three defined analysis panels (see Table 1) to 
characterize (a) maturation state, (b) subset composition 
(e.g. TH1, TH2, TH17, TREG, and CD8+ counterpart 
populations, as well as NK and NKT cells), and (c)  
exhaustion status. In addition, lymphocyte stimulatory 
capacity, measured in terms of proliferative capacity and effector cytokine production (i.e. IFN-γ  TNF-α and

Granzyme B) will be assessed as a benchmark of immune function.  In brief, CD3+ T cells will be isolated from the 
leukocyte fraction of each sample by magnetic bead selection  
 
 
 (Miltenyi Biotech) to achieve approximately 99% purity.  Cells stained with a non-toxic fluorescent tracer dye to allow for assessment of cel
before final staining and preparation for MPFC analysis.  Comparisons and changes in the 
myeloid compartment will be monitored using a 14-parameter panel designed to detect 
dendritic cell, myeloid suppressor cell, and 
macrophage populations, as detailed in Table 2. Immunophenotypic profiles will be 
discerned from sequential analysis of the individual patient samples at defined intervals 
Bone marrow aspirates (30mL volume) will be collected at baseline, Cycle 2 day 1, and 
thereafter for confirmation of CR, and at time of disease progression to analyze marrow-
infiltrating immune populations by MPFC.  In parallel, PBMCs, isolated from 
 
20-30mL freshly drawn sample, will be analyzed similarly at 4-week intervals 
corresponding to Day 1 of each cycle as well as at time of progression.

Statistical methods  
  
Phase II study  
In a randomized phase 2 study of lenalidomide single agent therapy (either 30 mg daily or 15 mg PO daily days 1-21 
out of 28-day cycle) in relapsed/refractory myeloma where dexamethasone was added after 2 cycles if progressive 
or stable disease, median PFS was 7.7 months with once-daily lenalidomide (compared to 3.9 months with twice 
daily lenalidomide).24 In a phase 3 study, a combination of Elotuzumab/lenalidomide/dexamethasone vs. 
lenalidomide/dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory myeloma showed PFS of 19.4 months vs. 14.9 months (with 5 
months benefit).1 Based on these results, we assume that in patients receiving single agent lenalidomide 
maintenance even if the dose of lenalidomide was increased to the maximum dose of 25 mg PO daily, those 
patients who are experiencing serologic relapse/progression would have at best 7 months of median PFS and a 
Spanish study indicated approximately 3 months until clinical progression (without any study). We hypothesize 
that the addition of Elotuzumab to maintenance lenalidomide would improve PFS to 12 months (with addition of 5 
months benefit). We anticipate that approximately 3 subjects per month will be accrued over 24 months.  The 
statistical power was computed based on the assumptions; (1) null PFS of 7 months and alternative PFS of 12 
months, (2) the projected accrual of 24 months, (3) a follow-up time of 12 months, and (4) an one-sided alpha of 
0.05.  With these assumptions, a sample size of 30 patients per cohort would have 85% power to reject the null 
hypothesis of 7 months (versus alternative of 12 months, hazard ratio 0.58). As the primary goal of the study is to 
investigate the clinical benefit of each combination regimen, results of the cohort (A) and cohort (B) will be 
reported separately and additional comparative analyses will be performed as an exploratory aim. The final 
analysis for primary endpoint will be conducted if 28 PFS events are observed.  
  
7.1 Primary Efficacy Analysis  
Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time of randomization to date of death from any cause, date of 
relapse/progression, or the last follow-up date, whichever comes first. The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to 
estimate PFS for each cohort. The method of Brookmeyer and Crowley will be used to construct 95% confidence 
interval.

time-to-event endpoints with or without competing risks, respectively. The association of time-to-event endpoints 
with potential predictors will be explored using Cox proportional regression model or Fine-Gray regression 
model,41 as appropriate. The 95% confidence interval for binary endpoint will be computed using the exact 
binomial distribution (e.g., Clopper-Pearson method) and the association with binary endpoint will be examined by 
the logistic regression model.

REGULATORY AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS  
9.1 Adverse Events   
(All serious adverse events (SAE) must be reported to the Medical Monitor BMS within 24 hours of the 
investigational staff’s knowledge; this includes any event that occurs during the participation of the trial 
regardless of associated therapy, severity or relationship)

9.2  
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Definition   
A serious adverse event is one that at any dose (including overdose):   
• 
Results in death   
• 
Is life-threatening1   
• 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization   
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity2   
• 
Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect   
• 
Is an important medical event3   
• 
Suspected positive pregnancy   
  
1 
“Life-threatening” means that the subject was at immediate risk of death at the time of the serious adverse 
event; it does not refer to a serious adverse event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were 
more severe.   
2 
“Persistent or significant disability or incapacity” means that there is a substantial disruption of a person’s 
ability to carry out normal life functions.   
3 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is appropriate in 
situations where none of the outcomes listed above occurred. Important medical events that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above should also usually 
be considered serious. Examples of such events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient 
hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse. A new diagnosis of cancer during the 
course of a treatment should be considered as medically important.  
 
9.3  
Adverse Drug Reporting   
Toxicity will be scored using CTCAE Version 5.0 for toxicity and adverse event reporting. A copy of the CTCAE 
Version 5.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP homepage (http://ctep.info.nih.gov). All appropriate treatment 
areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE Version 5.0. All adverse clinical experiences, whether observed by 
the investigator or reported by the patient, must be recorded, with details about the duration and intensity of each 
episode, the action taken with respect to the test drug, and the patient’s outcome. The investigator must evaluate 
each adverse experience for its relationship to the test drug and for its seriousness. Note that only adverse events 
that are greater than grade 1 will be captured in the case report forms and reported.  
The investigator must appraise all abnormal laboratory results for their clinical significance. If any abnormal 
laboratory result is considered clinically significant, the investigator must provide details about the action taken 
with respect to the test drug and about the patient’s outcome.

Investigator Reporting Responsibilities  
 
9.4.1  
Reporting to FDA  
The conduct of the study will comply with all FDA safety reporting requirements.   
IND Annual Reports   
If the FDA has granted an IND number, it is a requirement of 21 CFR 312.33, that an annual report is provided to 
the FDA within 60-days of the IND anniversary date. 21 CRF 312.33 provides the data elements that are to be 
submitted in the report  
Serious adverse events will be forwarded to FDA by the Sponsor-Investigator according to 21 CFR 312.32.  
It is the responsibility of the PI and the research team to ensure serious adverse events are reported according to 
the Code of Federal Regulations, Good Clinical Practices, the protocol guidelines, the sponsor’s guidelines, and 
Institutional Review Board policy.  
All adverse experience reports must include the patient number, age, sex, weight, severity of reaction (mild, 
moderate, severe), relationship to study drug (probably related, unknown relationship, definitely not related), date 
and time of administration of test medications and all concomitant medications, and medical treatment provided. 
The investigator is responsible for evaluating all adverse events to determine whether criteria for “serious” and as 
defined above are present.  
Adverse drug reactions that are Serious, Unlisted/unexpected, and at least possibly associated to the drug, and 
that have not previously been reported in the Investigators brochure, or reference safety information document 
should be reported promptly to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in writing by each investigator/physician 
engaged in clinical research. A clear description of the suspected reaction should be provided along with an 
assessment as to whether the event is drug or disease related.   
The investigator/physician shall notify the FDA by telephone or by fax of any unexpected fatal or life threatening 
experience associated with the use of the drug. As soon as possible, but no later than 7 calendar days after the 
sponsors initial receipt of the information. Each phone call or fax shall be transmitted to the FDA new drug review 
division in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research or the product review division in the Center for Biologics 
Evaluation and Research that has responsibility for review of the IND if applicable.   
 
9.4.2  
Reporting to Sponsor (NPM)  
In addition to reporting to the FDA, Sponsor-Investigator will forward completed SAE and pregnancy forms to 
representatives of the Sponsor.   
• 
All Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) that occur following the subject’s written consent to participate in the 
study through 30 days of discontinuation of dosing must be reported to BMS Worldwide Safety. If 
applicable, SAEs must be collected that relate to any later protocol-specified procedure (e.g., a follow-up 
skin biopsy).  
• 
If the BMS safety address is not included in the protocol document (e.g., multicenter studies where events 
are reported centrally), the procedure for safety reporting must be reviewed/approved by the BMS 
Protocol Manager. Procedures for such reporting must be reviewed and approved by BMS prior to study 
activation.  
• 
The BMS SAE form should be used to report SAEs. If the BMS form cannot be used, another acceptable 
form (i.e., CIOMS or Medwatch) must be reviewed and approved by BMS. The BMS protocol ID number 
must be included on whatever form is submitted by the Sponsor/Investigator. The CIOMS form is available 
at: http://www.cioms.ch/index.php/cioms-form-i.

• 
In accordance with local regulations, BMS will notify investigators of all reported SAEs that are suspected 
(related to the investigational product) and unexpected (i.e., not previously described in the IB). An event 
meeting these criteria is termed a Suspected, Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR). Investigator 
notification of these events will be in the form of a SUSAR Report.   
o 
Other important findings which may be reported by BMS as an ESR include: increased frequency 
of a clinically significant expected SAE, an SAE considered associated with study procedures that 
could modify the conduct of the study, lack of efficacy that poses significant hazard to study 
subjects, clinically significant safety finding from a nonclinical (e.g., animal) study, important 
safety recommendations from a study data monitoring committee, or sponsor decision to end or 
temporarily halt a clinical study for safety reasons.  
o 
Upon receiving an ESR from BMS, the investigator must review and retain the ESR with the IB. 
Where required by local regulations or when there is a central IRB/IEC for the study, the sponsor 
will submit the ESR to the appropriate IRB/IEC. The investigator and IRB/IEC will determine if the 
informed consent requires revision. The investigator should also comply with the IRB/IEC 
procedures for reporting any other safety information.

If an ongoing SAE changes in its intensity or relationship to study drug or if new information becomes available, a 
follow-up SAE report should be sent within 24 hours to BMS (or designee) using the same procedure used for 
transmitting the initial SAE report.   
All SAEs should be followed to resolution or stabilization.  
BMS will be provided with a simultaneous copy of all adverse events filed with the FDA.   
SAEs should be reported on MedWatch Form 3500A, which can be accessed 
at: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/.  The website will instruct you where to send the SAE forms.  
• 
An SAE report should be completed for any event where doubt exists regarding its seriousness.   
• 
For studies with long-term follow-up periods in which safety data are being reported, include the timing 
of SAE collection in the protocol.  
• 
If the investigator believes that an SAE is not related to study drug, but is potentially related to the 
conditions of the study (such as withdrawal of previous therapy or a complication of a study procedure), 
the relationship should be specified in the narrative section of the SAE Report Form.

10  DATA MANAGEMENT  
10.1 Data Collection   
The Clinical Research Coordinators and Investigators of each site will be responsible for the recording of the site’s 
data into the electronic data capture system, ONCORE.   
10.2 Protocol Monitoring Committee   
The Protocol monitoring committee (PMC) will be composed of medical and statistical independent reviewers and 
will meet to review the efficacy and safety data and determine a risk/benefit analysis in this subject population. 
The purpose of the PMC is to advise on serious safety considerations, lack of efficacy and any other considerations 
within the charge to the Committee. The PMC may request additional meetings or safety reports as deemed 
necessary upon discussion with the principal investigator. The PMC may stop the study following review of results 
from each interim analysis.   
10.3 Study Monitoring and Auditing   
10.3.1 Investigator responsibilities   
Investigator responsibilities are set out in the ICH guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in the US Code of 
Federal Regulations.   
Investigators, or a designated member, must enter study data onto CRFs or other data collection system. The 
Investigator will permit study-related monitoring visits and audits by BMS or its representatives, IRB/EC review, 
and regulatory inspection(s) (e.g., FDA, EMEA, TPP), providing direct access to the facilities where the study took 
place, to source documents, to CRFs, and to all other study documents.   
The Investigator, or a designated member of the Investigator’s staff, must be available at some time during 
monitoring visits to review data and resolve any queries and to allow direct access to the subject’s records (e.g., 
medical records, office charts, hospital charts, and study related charts) for source data verification. The data 
collection must be completed prior to each visit and be made available to the BMS representative so that the 
accuracy and completeness may be checked.  
10.3.2 Site responsibilities   
A conference call/study meeting will be held weekly for the phase I and monthly for the phase II to review patient 
enrollment and accrual, safety and toxicity data, and treatment results, as available.   
10.3.3 Monitoring   
Data will be captured in Oncore, Moffitt’s Clinical Trials Database. Regulatory documents and case report forms will 
be monitored internally according to Moffitt Cancer Center Monitoring Policies.  Monitoring will be performed 
regularly to verify data is accurate, complete, and verifiable from source documents; and the conduct of the trial is 
in compliance with the currently approved protocol/amendments, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable 
regulatory requirements.

11  PROTOCOL AMENDMENTS OR DEVIATIONS   
11.1 Protocol Amendments   
Any amendment to this protocol must be agreed to by the Principal Investigator and reviewed and approved by  
BMS. Amendments should only be submitted to IRB/EC after consideration of BMS. review. Written verification of 
IRB/EC approval will be obtained before any amendment is implemented.   
11.2 Protocol Deviations   
When an emergency occurs that requires a deviation from the protocol for a patient, a deviation will be made only 
for that patient. A decision will be made as soon as possible to determine whether or not the patient (for whom 
the deviation from protocol was effected) is to continue in the study. The patient’s medical records will completely 
describe the deviation from the protocol and state the reasons for such deviation. In addition, the Investigator will 
notify the IRB/EC in writing of such deviation from protocol. Non-emergency minor deviations from the protocol 
will be permitted with approval of the Principal Investigator and the local IRB/EC.

Response criteria* 
IMWG MRD criteria (requires a complete response as defined below) 
Sustained MRD-negative 
MRD negativity in the marrow (NGF or NGS, or both) and by imaging as defined below, 
confirmed minimum of 1 year apart. Subsequent evaluations can be used to further specify 
the duration of negativity (eg, MRD-negative at 5 years)† 
Flow MRD-negative 
Absence of phenotypically aberrant clonal plasma cells by NGF‡ on bone marrow aspirates 
using the EuroFlow standard operation procedure for MRD detection in multiple myeloma (or 
validated equivalent method) with a minimum sensitivity of 1 in 105 nucleated cells or higher 
Sequencing MRD-negative 
Absence of clonal plasma cells by NGS on bone marrow aspirate in which presence of a 
clone is defined as less than two identical sequencing reads obtained after DNA sequencing 
of bone marrow aspirates using the LymphoSIGHT platform (or validated equivalent method)
with a minimum sensitivity of 1 in 105 nucleated cells§ or higher 
Imaging plus MRD-negative 
MRD negativity as defined by NGF or NGS plus disappearance of every area of increased 
tracer uptake found at baseline or a preceding PET/CT or decrease to less mediastinal 
blood pool SUV or decrease to less than that of surrounding normal tissue¶ 
Standard IMWG response criteria‖ 
Stringent complete response 
Complete response as defined below plus normal FLC ratio** and absence of clonal cells in 
bone marrow biopsy by immunohistochemistry (κ/λ ratio ≤4:1 or ≥1:2 for κ and λ patients, 
respectively, after counting ≥100 plasma cells)†† 
Complete response 
Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue 
plasmacytomas and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow aspirates 
Very good partial response Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or ≥90% 
reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level <100 mg per 24 h 
Partial response 
≥50% reduction of serum M-protein plus reduction in 24 h urinary M-protein by ≥90% or to 
<200 mg per 24 h; 
 
If the serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, a ≥50% decrease in the difference 
between involved and uninvolved FLC levels is required in place of the M-protein criteria; 
 
If serum and urine M-protein are unmeasurable, and serum-free light assay is also 
unmeasurable, ≥50% reduction in plasma cells is required in place of M-protein, provided 
baseline bone marrow plasma-cell percentage was ≥30%. In addition to these criteria, if 
present at baseline, a ≥50% reduction in the size (SPD)§§ of soft tissue plasmacytomas is 
also required 
Minimal response 
≥25% but ≤49% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-h urine M-protein by 50–
89%. In addition to the above listed criteria, if present at baseline, a ≥50% reduction in the 
size (SPD)§§ of soft tissue plasmacytomas is also required 
Stable disease 
Not recommended for use as an indicator of response; stability of disease is best described 
by providing the time-to-progression estimates. Not meeting criteria for complete response, 
very good partial response, partial response, minimal response, or progressive disease 
Progressive disease ¶¶,‖‖ 
Any one or more of the following criteria: 


    
  
 
Protocol

Page 45 of 48 Version 06 Dated 07/22/2019  
Response criteria* 
 
Increase of 25% from lowest confirmed response value in one or more of the following 
criteria: 
Serum M-protein (absolute increase must be ≥0·5 g/dL); 
Serum M-protein increase ≥1 g/dL, if the lowest M component was ≥5 g/dL; 
Urine M-protein (absolute increase must be ≥200 mg/24 h); 
 
In patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, the difference between 
involved and uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase must be >10 mg/dL); In patients 
without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels and without measurable involved FLC 
levels, bone marrow plasma-cell percentage irrespective of baseline status (absolute 
increase must be ≥10%); 
 
Appearance of a new lesion(s), ≥50% increase from nadir in SPD§§ of >1 lesion, or ≥50% 
increase in the longest diameter of a previous lesion >1 cm in short axis; 
 
≥50% increase in circulating plasma cells (minimum of 200 cells per μL) if this is the only 
measure of disease 
Clinical relapse 
Clinical relapse requires one or more of the following criteria: 
 
Direct indicators of increasing disease and/or end organ dysfunction (CRAB features) 
related to the underlying clonal plasma-cell proliferative disorder. It is not used in calculation 
of time to progression or progression-free survival but is listed as something that can be 
reported optionally or for use in clinical practice; 
 
Development of new soft tissue plasmacytomas or bone lesions (osteoporotic fractures do 
not constitute progression); 
 
Definite increase in the size of existing plasmacytomas or bone lesions. A definite increase 
is defined as a 50% (and ≥1 cm) increase as measured serially by the SPD§§ of the 
measurable lesion; 
Hypercalcemia (>11 mg/dL); 
 
Decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL not related to therapy or other non-myeloma-related 
conditions; 
 
Rise in serum creatinine by 2 mg/dL or more from the start of the therapy and attributable to 
myeloma; 
Hyperviscosity related to serum paraprotein 
Relapse from complete 
response (to be used only if 
the end point is disease-free 
survival) 
Any one or more of the following criteria: 
Reappearance of serum or urine M-protein by immunofixation or electrophoresis; 
Development of ≥5% plasma cells in the bone marrow; 
 
Appearance of any other sign of progression (i.e., new plasmacytoma, lytic bone lesion, or 
hypercalcemia see above) 
Relapse from MRD negative 
(to be used only if the end 
point is disease-free 
survival) 
Any one or more of the following criteria: 
 
Loss of MRD negative state (evidence of clonal plasma cells on NGF or NGS, or positive 
imaging study for recurrence of myeloma); 
Reappearance of serum or urine M-protein by immunofixation or electrophoresis; 
Development of ≥5% clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow; 
Appearance of any other sign of progression (i.e., new plasmacytoma, lytic bone lesion, or

Response criteria* 
hypercalcemia) 
For MRD assessment, the first bone marrow aspirate should be sent to MRD (not for morphology) and this sample should 
be taken in one draw with a volume of minimally 2 mL (to obtain sufficient cells), but maximally 4–5 mL to avoid 
hemodilution. IMWG=International Myeloma Working Group. MRD=minimal residual disease. NGF=next-generation flow. 
NGS=next-generation sequencing. FLC=free light chain. M-protein=myeloma protein. SPD=sum of the products of the 
maximal perpendicular diameters of measured lesions. CRAB features=calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, lytic bone 
lesions. FCM=flow cytometry. SUVmax=maximum standardized uptake value. MFC=multiparameter flow cytometry. 18F-
FDG PET=18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET. ASCT=autologous stem cell transplantation. 
* 
All response categories require two consecutive assessments made any time before starting any new therapy; for MRD 
there is no need for two consecutive assessments, but information on MRD after each treatment stage is recommended 
(e.g., after induction, high-dose therapy/ASCT, consolidation, maintenance). MRD tests should be initiated only at the 
time of suspected complete response. All categories of response and MRD require no known evidence of progressive or 
new bone lesions if radiographic studies were performed. However, radiographic studies are not required to satisfy 
these response requirements except for the requirement of FDG PET if imaging MRD-negative status is reported. 
† 
Sustained MRD negativity when reported should also annotate the method used (e.g., sustained flow MRD-negative, 
sustained sequencing MRD-negative). 
‡ 
Bone marrow MFC should follow NGF guidelines.30 The reference NGF method is an eight-color two-tube approach, 
which has been extensively validated. The two-tube approach improves reliability, consistency, and sensitivity because 
of the acquisition of a greater number of cells. The eight-color technology is widely available globally and the NGF 
method has already been adopted in many flow laboratories worldwide. The complete eight-color method is most 
efficient using a lyophilized mixture of antibodies which reduces errors, time, and costs. 5 million cells should be 
assessed. The FCM method employed should have a sensitivity of detection of at least 1 in 105 plasma cells. 
§ 
DNA sequencing assay on bone marrow aspirate should use a validated assay such as LymphoSIGHT (Sequenta).

any underlying lesion identified by CT and present on at least two consecutive slices. Alternatively, an SUVmax=2·5 
within osteolytic CT areas >1 cm in size, or SUVmax=1·5 within osteolytic CT areas ≤1 cm in size were considered 
positive. Imaging should be performed once MRD negativity is determined by MFC or NGS.

Derived from international uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma.11 Minor response definition and clarifications 
derived from Rajkumar and colleagues.14 When the only method to measure disease is by serum FLC levels: complete 
response can be defined as a normal FLC ratio of 0·26 to 1·65 in addition to the complete response criteria listed 
previously. Very good partial response in such patients requires a ≥90% decrease in the difference between involved 
and uninvolved FLC levels. All response categories require two consecutive assessments made at any time before the 
institution of any new therapy; all categories also require no known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions or 
extramedullary plasmacytomas if radiographic studies were performed. Radiographic studies are not required to satisfy 
these response requirements. Bone marrow assessments do not need to be confirmed. Each category, except for 
stable disease, will be considered unconfirmed until the confirmatory test is performed. The date of the initial test is 
considered as the date of response for evaluation of time dependent outcomes such as duration of response. 
** 
All recommendations regarding clinical uses relating to serum FLC levels or FLC ratio are based on results obtained 
with the validated Freelite test (Binding Site, Birmingham, UK). 
†† 
Presence/absence of clonal cells on immunohistochemistry is based upon the κ/λ/L ratio. An abnormal κ/λ ratio by 
immunohistochemistry requires a minimum of 100 plasma cells for analysis. An abnormal ratio reflecting presence of an 
abnormal clone is κ/λ of >4:1 or <1:2. 
‡‡ 
Special attention should be given to the emergence of a different monoclonal protein following treatment, especially in 
the setting of patients having achieved a conventional complete response, often related to oligoclonal reconstitution of 
the immune system. These bands typically disappear over time and in some studies have been associated with a better 
outcome. Also, appearance of monoclonal IgG κ in patients receiving monoclonal antibodies should be differentiated 
from the therapeutic antibody. 
§§ 
Plasmacytoma measurements should be taken from the CT portion of the PET/CT, or MRI scans, or dedicated CT 
scans where applicable. For patients with only skin involvement, skin lesions should be measured with a ruler. 
Measurement of tumor size will be determined by the SPD.

Positive immunofixation alone in a patient previously classified as achieving a complete response will not be considered 
progression. For purposes of calculating time to progression and progression-free survival, patients who have achieved 
a complete response and are MRD-negative should be evaluated using criteria listed for progressive disease. Criteria 
for relapse from a complete response or relapse from MRD should be used only when calculating disease-free survival.

In the case where a value is felt to be a spurious result per physician discretion (e.g., a possible laboratory error), that 
value will not be considered when determining the lowest value.
