About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Single-Arm, Single-Center, Phase II Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of CM336 in Combination With Isatuximab, Lenalidomide, and Bortezomib in Newly Diagnosed Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether CM336, a BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibody, can improve treatment outcomes when combined with isatuximab, lenalidomide, and bortezomib in adults with newly diagnosed primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL). The study will also evaluate the safety of this treatment combination.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
How many participants achieve minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after 9 treatment cycles? What side effects occur during treatment with CM336 combined with isatuximab, lenalidomide, and bortezomib? How many participants respond to treatment, and how long do those responses last? How long do participants remain free from disease progression, and how long do they survive after starting treatment? All participants will receive the study treatment. There is no comparison group in this study.
Participants will:
Receive CM336 by subcutaneous injection together with isatuximab, lenalidomide, and bortezomib in 28-day treatment cycles.
Undergo regular blood tests, bone marrow examinations, and disease assessments to monitor treatment response and safety.
Have stem cells collected after the first 3 treatment cycles if appropriate. Continue treatment for up to 18 cycles, followed by maintenance treatment with isatuximab and lenalidomide until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or investigator decision.
Be monitored throughout the study for side effects.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CM336Drug
CM336 is administered subcutaneously (SC) using a step-up dosing regimen, followed by a target dose of 160 mg. During Cycle 1, CM336 is administered weekly; from Cycle 2 through Cycle 18, it is administered every 4 weeks.
IsatuximabDrug
Isatuximab is administered intravenously (IV) at 10 mg/kg. It is given weekly during Cycle 1, every 2 weeks during Cycles 2-12, and every 4 weeks during Cycles 13-18.
BortezomibDrug
Bortezomib is administered subcutaneously (SC) at 1.3 mg/m² once weekly during Cycles 1-18.
LenalidomideDrug
Lenalidomide is administered orally at 25 mg once daily on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate
Measured: After 9 cycles (each cycle is 28 days)
Secondary outcomes (5)
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
Measured: From the first dose of CM336 through 30 days after the last dose of CM336, up to approximately 18 months.
Duration of MRD negativity
Measured: From the date of first documented MRD negativity until disease progression, death, or end of follow-up, whichever occurs first, assessed up to approximately 36 months.
Hematological Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Measured: Up to 18 treatment cycles, each cycle is 28 days
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Measured: From the first dose of study treatment until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, up to approximately 36 months.
Overall survival (OS)
Measured: From the first dose of study treatment until death from any cause, up to approximately 36 months.
