(C4T) (Nasdaq: CCCC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing targeted protein degradation science, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial evaluating cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). “Initiating the Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial, which builds upon the compelling anti-myeloma activity and differentiated safety profile established in the Phase 1 trial, is a critical step for cemsidomide to become a foundational therapy for multiple myeloma patients, who are in need of a safe, oral, and convenient treatment option,” said Len Reyno, chief medical officer of C4 Therapeutics. “With this milestone accomplished, we are also on track to initiate the Phase 1b trial of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab in the second quarter, as we continue to advance our regulatory strategy that could deliver two accelerated approval paths in multiple myeloma.” The Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to assess anti-myeloma activity and further characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cemsidomide, an oral IKZF1/3 degrader, in combination with dexamethasone in RRMM patients for the fourth line or later. The trial will enroll approximately 100 patients to evaluate cemsidomide at the 100 µg dose level. Cemsidomide is administered with a daily dosing schedule of 14 days on and 14 days off, and dexamethasone is dosed once a week. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate per the International Myeloma Working Group response criteria as assessed by an independent review committee. Secondary endpoints will evaluate a range of additional safety and efficacy measures. The Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial is part of a broader development strategy for cemsidomide, which also includes a Phase 1b study of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab (ELREXFIO®). Elranatamab is an FDA-approved B-cell maturation antigen CD3 targeted bispecific antibody. Together, these trials support cemsidomide’s use across multipl...
