Improving Cognitive Function in Older Adults Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant

Cancer and treatment-related cognitive changes hinder resumption of normal routine and roles and worsen quality of life. Older adults undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at high-risk for cognitive impairment. Physical activity improves cognitive function in older adults and survivors of other cancers. We hypothesize that increasing physical activity can also improve cognitive function in this vulnerable population. The objective of this research is to adapt and test an evidence-based physical activity intervention, The Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors II (CHAMPS II), in the HCT setting for adults 60 years and older. Aim 1: Adapt the CHAMPS-II manual and develop study materials using feedback from 10 patient/care-partner dyads who have experienced the HCT process within the last 3-6 months and HCT team members via semi-structured interviews. Aim 2: Iteratively adapt and implement CHAMPS-II intervention in three waves (2-4 patient/care-partner dyads per wave). The dyads will participate in a multi-phase, light to moderate-intensity physical activity program through Day 100 post-HCT. Aim 3: Test the preliminary effectiveness of the adapted intervention to improve cognitive function compared to an active control condition (N = 34 per group) in a 2-arm, pilot randomized controlled trial. Primary and secondary outcomes will include subjective and objective cognitive function using a short battery of neuropsychological tests and a self-report questionnaire. Tertiary outcomes comprise subjective and objective measures of physical activity behavior and physical function. The RE-AIM framework will be utilized for formative and process evaluation during the adaptation process and implementation of the intervention.

A Study of Belantamab Mafodotin (GSK2857916) in Multiple Myeloma Participants With Normal and Impaired Hepatic Function

Belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing humanized anti- B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Impaired hepatic function may alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of belantamab mafodotin, a drug that is primarily hepatically eliminated and hence may require adjustments in dosing regimens as compared to patients who have normal hepatic function. The purpose of this study is assess the PK, safety, and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) participants with impaired hepatic function and in matched RRMM participants with normal hepatic function. The study will consist of two parts: Part 1 will include participants with normal hepatic function and moderate hepatic impairment and Part 2 will include participants with severe hepatic impairment. Participants will be administered GSK2857916 at a dose of 2.5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously in Part 1 and in Part 2, dose will depend on the evaluation of pharmacokinetic and safety data of Part 1. However, dose in Part 2 will not exceed 2.5 mg/kg. Participants will be treated with GSK2857916 monotherapy until confirmed disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of study, whichever occurs first. This study will include a screening phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase. The total duration of the study is approximately up to 48 months.

Study to Assess Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity of Intravenous (IV) Lemzoparlimab (TJ011133) With or Without Oral/IV Dexamethasone and in Combination With Oral/IV/Subcutaneous Anti-Myeloma Regimens in Adult Participants With Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for more than 10% of all blood cancers and 1% of all cancers. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe lemzoparlimab (TJ01133) is and how lemzoparlimab (TJ01133) moves through the body of adult participants with MM when given with or without dexamethasone, and in combination with other anti-myeloma regimens. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Lemzoparlimab (TJ01133) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. Two different dose levels of lemzoparlimab (TJ011133) will be explored. Each treatment arm receives a different treatment combination depending on stage of the study and eligibility. This study will include a dose escalation phase to determine the best dose of lemzoparlimab (TJ011133), followed by a dose expansion phase to confirm the dose. Approximately 163 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites worldwide. In the Dose Escalation arms, participants will receive intravenous (IV) lemzoparlimab (TJ011133) with or without dexamethasone (oral/IV) in combination with pomalidomide (oral) or carfilzomib (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab in 28-day cycles. In the Dose Expansion arms, participants will receive lemzoparlimab (TJ011133) (IV) alone or with dexamethasone (oral/IV) in combination with pomalidomide (oral) or carfilzomib (IV) or daratumumab (SC) in 28-day cycles. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests and side effects.
