Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel Versus Idecabtagene Vicleucel in Triple-Class-Exposed Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma with 2–4 Prior Lines of Therapy: Updated Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison
摘要
The relative efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) was assessed via unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) using data from the CARTITUDE-4 and CARTITUDE-1 (cilta-cel) and KarMMa-3 (ide-cel) trials. This updated MAIC includes longer follow-up and overall survival (OS).
MethodsAn unanchored MAIC was performed utilizing individual patient-level data (IPD) from CARTITUDE-4 [1–3 prior lines of therapy (LOT); n = 208] and CARTITUDE-1 (3–4 prior LOT; n = 37). Patients fulfilling KarMMa-3 inclusion criteria (2–4 prior LOT, triple-class exposed) were selected, and outcomes were compared against published aggregate KarMMa-3 data. Cilta-cel IPD were weighted to match reported baseline characteristics of KarMMa-3 on key prognostic factors identified a priori. Comparative efficacy was estimated for progression-free survival (PFS), OS, overall response rate, very good partial response (VGPR) or better rate, and complete response (CR) or better rate.
ResultsEighty-five patients from CARTITUDE-4 and CARTITUDE-1 were included. After adjustment, patients in the cilta-cel group (effective sample size = 39) had a 58% reduction in PFS risk [hazard ratio (HR) 0.42 (95% CI 0.26–0.68); p = 0.0004] and a 42% reduction in OS risk [HR 0.58 (0.34–0.99); p = 0.0452] versus ide-cel. Patients in the cilta-cel group were significantly more likely to achieve an overall response [relative response ratio (RR) 1.22 (95% CI 1.08–1.38); p = 0.0126] and deeper levels of response [≥ VGPR: RR 1.37 (1.19–1.59); p = 0.0009; ≥ CR: RR 1.80 (1.49–2.18); p < 0.0001] versus ide-cel.
ConclusionThis updated MAIC with longer follow-up time demonstrated significant superiority of cilta-cel over ide-cel in PFS, OS, and response outcomes in patients with triple-class exposed RRMM treated with 2–4 prior LOT. The OS results reinforce the added value of cilta-cel in this population.
