8035 Background: LYRA is a community practice-based, phase 2, single-arm study (NCT02951819) evaluating DARA + CyBorD as an immunomodulatory drug-sparing regimen in MM. The primary analysis demonstrated the safety and efficacy of DARA + CyBorD in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) and relapsed MM (RMM), and an update showed that DARA maintenance therapy deepened responses. We present the final end-of-study analysis of LYRA. Methods: US pts aged ≥18 years with MM per IMWG criteria and ≤1 prior line of therapy received 4-8 induction cycles of DARA + CyBorD (cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 PO weekly [QW]; bortezomib 1.5 mg/m2 SC on Days [D] 1, 8, and 15; dexamethasone 40 mg PO or IV QW every 28 days; DARA IV 8 mg/kg on D1 and D2 of cycle [C]1, 16 mg/kg QW C1D8-C2, 16 mg/kg Q2W C3-6, and 16 mg/kg Q4W C7-8). After induction, eligible pts could receive autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Pts received up to 12 maintenance cycles with DARA 16 mg/kg IV Q4W and were followed for up to 36 months after induction. Results: In total, 101 (NDMM, n = 87; RMM, n = 14) pts were enrolled; 36% of pts had high-risk cytogenetics. NDMM and RMM pts received a median of 6 and 8 induction cycles, respectively. Among NDMM pts, 44.8% (39/87) underwent ASCT and 72.4% (63/87) completed 12 months of maintenance. Rates of ≥VGPR and ≥CR were 82.1% and 48.7% in NDMM pts who underwent ASCT, and 70.2% and 29.8% in NDMM pts who did not (Table). With a median follow-up of 35.7 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached for NDMM pts. Estimated 36-month PFS rates were 69.3% and 72.6% for NDMM pts who did and did not receive ASCT, respectively; estimated 36-month OS rates were 94.9% and 84.3% (Table). Among RMM pts, 7.1% (1/14) underwent ASCT and 50.0% (7/14) completed 12 months of maintenance; efficacy outcomes are shown in the Table. Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 62.0% of all pts, with the most common (≥10%) being neutropenia (14.0%). Serious TEAEs occurred in 33.0% of pts, the most common being pneumonia (4.0%) and pulmonary embolism (3.0%). TEAEs led to death in 2.0% of pts, all unrelated to study treatment. Infusion-related reactions occurred in 56.0% of pts; the majority were mild (4.0% of pts had grade 3/4 events). Conclusions: DARA used for induction with CyBorD and maintenance as monotherapy resulted in durable, deep responses in pts with NDMM or RMM, with a 3-year PFS rate of 70% in NDMM irrespective of ASCT status. With longer follow-up, no new safety concerns were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT02951819. [Table: see text]
