Dr. Katja Weisel on the GMMG-CONCEPT Trial

What is the GMMG-CONCEPT trial?

The GMMG-CONCEPT trial is a clinical phase II, multicenter, open-label study which evaluates induction, consolidation, and maintenance treatment with the quadruplet regimen isatuximab plus carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Isa-KRd) in front-line treatment of high-risk multiple myeloma patients (HR MM pts).

In this video:

Dr. Katja Weisel (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) discusses the interim analysis of the GMMG-CONCEPT trial investigating solely high-risk multiple myeloma patients using the Isa-KRd quadruplet treatment. The initial report still shows significantly impaired prognostic outcomes. The Addition of CD38 monoclonal antibodies to standard-of-care regimens significantly improved response rates and depth of response in newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory myeloma patients. 

Conclusion:

The overall safety profile of Isa-KRd is expected and consistent with previous reports. The study is ongoing, with patients continuing to be recruited.

Clinical trial information: NCT03104842 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03104842).
