Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an adverse event-adaptive trial design for safety purposes. There will be intra-patient dose escalation over the first three cycles, i.e. all patients will start at ‘combination level 1’ during cycle 1, if there is no treatment-related Grade 3 neutropenia or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, as per Common terminology criteria for adverse events version 6 (CTCAE v6), dose will be escalated to ‘combination level 2’ during cycle 2, then ‘combination level 3’ during cycle 3, respectively:

• Cycle 1 (combination level 1)*: Iberdomide 1.3mg + Venetoclax 200mg
• Cycle 2 (combination level 2): Iberdomide 1.3mg + Venetoclax 400mg
• Cycle 3 onwards (combination level 3): Iberdomide 1.6mg + Venetoclax 400mg
All patients will receive dexamethasone in each treatment combination level.
*Note: In case of treatment related Grade 3 neutropenia or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia at ‘combination level 1’, then the dosing level will be deescalated to ‘combination level -1’: Iberdomide 1.0mg + Venetoclax 200mg.

Dosing will be done on a 28-day cycle:
- Venetoclax given orally from days 1-28
-Iberdomide given orally from days 1-21
-Dexamethasone given orally, 40mgs weekly (20mg for patients >75 years of age)

Participants will continue on treatment until one of the following criteria applies:
• Disease progression
• Intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment
• Unacceptable AE(s)
• Patient decides to withdraw from treatment or the study, or
• General or specific changes in the patient's condition render the patient unacceptable for further treatment in the opinion of the investigator.

Compliance will be monitored via drug accountability exercises completed by the participating site and the sponsor.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 331707 0
To assess the efficacy of Iberdomide, Venetoclax and Dexamethasone combination therapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients with t(11;14).
Timepoint [1] 331707 0
The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who have achieved very good partial response (VGPR) or better. An assessment of efficacy will be performed after 20 patients have completed cycle 3 or been withdrawn due to unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease. Samples (serum, bone marrow and urine samples) will be collected at the start of each 28-day cycle to measure these endpoints.



Patients will be classified as VGPR (or better) based on the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Response Criteria. VGPR equals yes at any stage during the study, if their response is VGPR or complete response (CR) or stringent complete response (sCR). Otherwise the patient will be classified as VGPR equals No.

VGPR according to IMWG criteria is defined as serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or greater than or equal to reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level less than 100mg/24 hours.

CR according to IMWG criteria is defined as negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and less than 5 percent plasma cells in bone marrow.

sCR according to IMWG criteria is defined below plus normal Free Light Chain (FLC) ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunochemistry or immunofluorescence.

The proportion of patients classified as VGPR = yes will be estimated and presented with exact 90% confidence limits. If the historical value of 36% is below the lower confidence limit then the result will be consistent with a better response rate than seen with the historical Venetoclax and Dexamethasone regime.
Secondary outcome [1] 410824 0
To assess the depth of response to Iberdomide, venetoclax and dexamethasone in this patient population.
Timepoint [1] 410824 0
At each assessment timepoint the depth of response will be determined using the IMWG response criteria (VGPR, CR and sCR) and Minimal residual disease (MRD) .

VGPR according to IMWG criteria is defined as serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or greater than or equal to reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level less than 100mg/24 hours.

CR according to IMWG criteria is defined as negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and less than 5 percent plasma cells in bone marrow.

sCR according to IMWG criteria is defined below plus normal FLC ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunochemistry or immunofluorescence.


Frequency tables will be produced by timepoint to show the distribution of patients across response assessment. For all patients their overall response will be the best assessment documented at any post-baseline assessment time. Frequency tables will be produced for Overall response rate.

The proportion of patients who are MRD negative at any time during the study will be presented with exact 90% confidence limits (as described for the primary endpoint).

Samples (serum, bone marrow and urine samples) will be collected at the following timepoints: Day 1 of each cycle, within 2 weeks of completion of cycle 6, at serological complete response (CR), progressive disease and end of treatment (within 3 weeks of last dose of study drug).

PET plus or minus contrast enhanced Computerised tomography of neck-chest-abdomen and pelvis (CT NCAP) will be used for the measurement of plasmacytomas in
patients with extramedullary disease. This will be done every 3 months from intervention commencement until the end of treatment to assess response to treatment.
Secondary outcome [2] 410825 0
To assess progression free survival (PFS) outcomes to Iberdomide, venetoclax and dexamethasone in this patient population.

Disease progression will be measured according to the IMWG response criteria. The following criteria will have to be met to be deemed progressive disease:

Increase of greater than or equal to 25 per cent from lowest response value in any one or more of the following:
•Serum M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be greater than or equal to 0.5 g/dL)
•Urine M-component and/or (the absolute increase must be greater than or equal to 200 mg/24 hours)
•Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels; the difference between involved and uninvolved serum FLC levels. The absolute increase must be greater than 10 mg/dL.
•Bone marrow plasma cell percentage; the absolute percentage must be greater than or equal to 10%
•Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas. This will be determined by whole body PET/CT.


Timepoint [2] 410825 0
Progression free survival (PFS) will be defined as the time (in days) from the date of commencement on study treatment to the date of progression or death from any cause. A Kaplan Meier plot will be presented, using the product limit method. If possible, the median PFS (and 90% confidence intervals) will be reported. The proportion of patients progression free at 6, 12 and 24 months post-intervention commencement will be estimated and presented with 90% confidence limits using the lifetable method.
Secondary outcome [3] 410826 0
To assess overall survival (OS) outcomes to Iberdomide, venetoclax and dexamethasone in this patient population.
Timepoint [3] 410826 0
Overall survival (OS) will be defined as the time (in days) from the date of commencement on study treatment to the date of death from any cause. Analysis will be as per the analysis for PFS.

Overall survival will be measured at 6, 12 and 24 months post-intervention commencement.
Secondary outcome [4] 411984 0
To assess the safety and tolerability of Iberdomide, venetoclax and dexamethasone combination therapy.
Timepoint [4] 411984 0
The assessment of safety will be based mainly on the frequency of adverse events (AEs) and clinical laboratory assessments. All the safety analyses will be based on the safety set.

All AEs recorded during the study will be summarised for the safety set in total. The incidence of treatment-emergent AEs (new or worsening from baseline) will be summarised by system organ class, severity (based on CTCAEc5 grades), type of AE, and relation to the study regime. Summaries will be presented by timeframe (and overall) for events which occur during cycle 1, during cycles 2-6, during later cycles and during follow-up. Deaths reportable as SAEs and non-fatal serious AEs will be listed by patient and tabulated by type of AE.
For patients with multiple episodes of the same event, the event will be summarised by the worst severity recorded.
In addition, the incidence of adverse events of special interest (AESI), specifically Grade 3 neutropenia with fever, Grade 4 neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and Grade 3 non-haematological toxicities (related to treatment), events which would influence dose escalation in the first 3 cycles, will be presented by cycle (across the first 3 cycles), for cycles 4-6, for all subsequent cycles combined.

All laboratory values will be classified by the reporting laboratory as within normal range, below the normal range or above the normal range. Shift tables will be presented by timepoint to show changes in category compared with baseline. In addition, for all out of range values, the investigator will classify the result as clinically significant (or not). All clinically significant out of range values will be reported as adverse events.

All adverse events will be assessed ongoing from the commencement of the intervention until completion of study (within 3 weeks of last drug dose on trial), withdrawal, disease progression or death.

Haematology, biochemistry and renal function laboratory values will be assessed for safety on Day 1 of each treatment cycle until end of treatment (within 3 weeks of last drug dose on trial), withdrawal, disease progression or death
Secondary outcome [5] 411985 0
European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) will be assessed and scored as a composite secondary outcome.

This assessment will be done to determine changes in patient-reported quality of life (QOL).
Timepoint [5] 411985 0
Responses to QOL measurements using EORTC QLQ-C30

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. Scores for each item will be derived according to the author's instructions. For each scale a general linear mixed model (GLMM) will be fitted with change in score (from baseline) as the outcome variable and timepoint as a factor. Baseline will be included as a covariate. Other relevant prognostic factors recorded at baseline may be included (full details to be provided in the SAP). From the model the estimated change from baseline at each timepoint will be estimated and presented with 90% confidence limits.

Quality of life questionnaires will be administered on Day 1 of each treatment cycle until end of treatment (within 3 weeks of last drug dose on trial), withdrawal or disease progression




Secondary outcome [6] 412552 0
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer assessment of quality of life of myeloma patients (EORTC QLQ – MY20). will be assessed and scored as a composite secondary outcome.

This assessment will be done to determine changes in patient-reported quality of life (QOL).
Timepoint [6] 412552 0
Responses to QOL measurements using EORTC QLQ – MY20

The EORTC OLO-MY20 module comprises 24 questions addressing four domains of QOL important in myeloma: a pain scale, treatment side effects, social support and future perspective. Scores for each item will be derived according to the author’s instructions and a GLMM fitted as described above.

Quality of life questionnaires will be administered on Day 1 of each treatment cycle until end of treatment (within 3 weeks of last drug dose on trial), withdrawal or disease progression

Statistical methods / analysis
Based on a phase II study by Kaufman et al. of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone as targeted therapy for t(11;14) in Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, 36% of patients achieved VGPR. We expect that addition of Iberdomide to venetoclax/dexamethasone will be more effective. A VGPR of 55% or more is considered clinically meaningful.

A total of 42 patients provides 80% power to distinguish a VGPR rate of 55% from a historical value of 36%, with a one-sided alpha of 0.05, assuming the normal approximation to the binomial. To allow for a 15% screen fail rate, we aim to recruit screen a total of 50 participants.

Main analysis and read out of outcomes will be performed when the final patient recruited has had 6 months of treatment, developed progressive disease (so treatment has ceased), died or withdrawn , whichever occurs first.

Categorical data will be summarized using frequency tables (frequencies and percentages). For continuous data, descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard deviation, median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum and maximum) will be presented.

Baseline and demographic information:
All baseline information, including medical history, prior treatment, diagnostic information, demographics will be summarised using frequency tables or descriptive statistics, as applicable for the type of data.

Treatment:
The total number of cycles received (irrespective of dose) will be presented using frequency tables. Further summaries of treatment received will be defined in the Statistical analysis plan.

Efficacy assessment:
The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who have achieved very good partial response (VGPR) or better.

Patients will be classified as VGPR (or better) equals yes if, at any stage during the study, their response is VGPR or CR or sCR. Otherwise the patient will be classified as VGPR equals No. The proportion of patients classified as VGPR equals yes will be estimated and presented with exact 90% confidence limits. If the historical value of 36% is below the lower confidence limit then the result will be consistent with a better response rate than seen with the historical Venetoclax Dexamethasone (VenDex) regime.
