The Horizon Clinical Trials Program uses an adaptive platform designed to test multiple therapies simultaneously to determine the best combination, sequence, and duration of therapy to improve patient outcomes
Norwalk, Conn., December 4, 2024 – The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF®) announced today that the first patient had been enrolled in the first arm of its Horizon Clinical Trials Program. Horizon is an adaptive platform clinical trial being conducted across the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC®), a select group of academic medical centers and community-based clinics across the U.S. The MMRC Horizon trial will have multiple investigational arms to allow for simultaneous testing of multiple novel drugs and therapeutic approaches to determine the best combination, sequence, and duration of therapy in critical patient populations, including those with relapsed and refractory myeloma.
“The MMRC has a proven record of opening nearly 100 clinical trials and generating evidence to inform optimal treatment strategies for patients. Despite a multitude of approved therapies for multiple myeloma, patients and physicians still face complex questions around the most effective treatment combinations, sequencing, and duration,” said Michael Andreini, President and Chief Executive Officer of the MMRF. “The MMRF plays a vital role in building partnerships between companies, researchers, and patients to accelerate new treatments and improve patient outcomes. These collaborations provide meaningful insights on optimal treatment approaches that will make a meaningful difference for patients.”
The MMRF initiated the MMRC Horizon Clinical Trials Program to test therapies in critical patient populations, beginning in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma. Horizon, through its design and multi-institutional cooperation, is set up to answer research questions that other types of trials lack the capabilities to pursue. The adaptive clinical trial design will use multiple arms to test different therapies, offering key advantages over traditional trials, including the flexibility to make prospectively planned modifications to certain elements of the study design to efficiently facilitate the development of more precise treatments. The first arm of Horizon is enrolling patients and will evaluate dosing approaches with Tecvayli (teclistamab), which is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. For more information on the clinical trial visit our website or go to clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06171685).
“Johnson & Johnson is committed to advancing therapies for multiple myeloma across all stages of the disease,” said Imran Khan, MD, PhD, Vice President, Medical Affairs, Hematology, Innovative Medicine, Johnson & Johnson. “As a leader in multiple myeloma, we have a responsibility to continue to understand how our approved therapies can help patients in the clinical setting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cali., August 26, 2024 — Opna Bio announced that it has dosed the first patient with OPN-6602, a potent and selective EP300/CBP bromodomain inhibitor, in a Phase 1 clinical study in multiple myeloma. The first patient was dosed at The START Center for Cancer Research in Grand Rapids, Michigan with Dr. Andrew Sochacki, principal investigator, leading the study team.
OPN-6602 is an oral, small molecule inhibitor of the E1A binding protein (EP300) and CREB-binding protein (CBP). Through EP300/CBP inhibition, OPN-6602 down regulates expression of IRF4 and MYC, two transcription factors that drive growth of multiple myeloma cells. Preclinical data presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) 2024 Annual Meeting showed that OPN-6602 significantly reduced tumor growth as a single agent (71% tumor growth inhibition) in the OPM-2 human multiple myeloma cell xenograft model as well as increased anti-tumor activity (>100% tumor growth inhibition) in combination studies.

Norwalk, Conn., August 19, 2024 – The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) announced today a new publication on the CoMMpass SM study in Nature Genetics that defines distinct subtypes and identifies high-risk genetic markers of multiple myeloma. These CoMMpass data represent the largest and most complete clinical and molecular dataset in multiple myeloma.
“Despite efforts to understand the molecular basis of multiple myeloma, predicting patient outcomes and identifying high-risk patients has remained a challenge,” said Sagar Lonial, M.D., FACP, lead author and Chief Medical Officer at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and Professor and Chair, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine. “This research is another example of how CoMMpass – by offering an unparalleled genomic map of multiple myeloma – answers key questions about the disease and enables us to improve how we treat patients.”
The CoMMpass study united 76 clinical sites across four countries, enrolling 1,143 multiple myeloma patients and studying them for at least eight years after diagnosis. CoMMpass is one of few studies to enroll patients that reflect the United States population, with a self-reported ancestry of 80.6% Caucasian and 17.5% Black; this enables important research into causes of the significantly increased incidence of myeloma in the Black community.
“We recognized the critical need for comprehensive longitudinal data to truly understand the natural history of multiple myeloma, especially in a real-world setting where such data is scarce,” said Michael Andreini, President and CEO of MMRF. “As an organization that’s spent more than 25 years fiercely committed to changing the trajectory of multiple myeloma, we were the only ones positioned to build a truly collaborative initiative that could unite the multiple myeloma community and deliver the scale necessary to produce these types of scientific findings. We’re grateful to the clinical investigators at all the sites, and especially the patients who helped us accelerate this important research.”
The collaborative research, led by investigators from MMRF, Emory University, and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), comprehensively describes the subtypes of multiple myeloma, identifying a high-risk patient population that is associated with a median survival of less than two years versus the average survival rate that exceeds eight years. Of those with additional genomic data at disease progression, just over 25% transitioned to a rapid growth high-risk category and then had worse outcomes, with a median survival of only 88 days.
“The data show that advanced molecular diagnostics, using whole genome and RNA sequencing, were found to be better predictors of disease behavior than current staging systems,” said Jonathan Keats, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Director of Bioinformatics and Collaborative Sequencing Center at TGen, and a senior author on the paper. “With a better understanding of the primary molecular features driving different subtypes of multiple myeloma and the identification of high-risk patients at both diagnosis and progression, we have an understanding of targets and pathways that will inform efforts to optimize the treatment of all multiple myeloma patients.”

LOS ANGELES, Cali., August 6, 2024 — Nammi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nammi) announces a $1M investment commitment by the Myeloma Investment Fund (MIF) in a $30M Series B financing round prior to the planned start of a first-in-human Phase 1 study of their lead program, QXL138AM, in patients with locally advanced unresectable and/or metastatic solid tumors and multiple myeloma.
QXL138AM is a Masked Immunocytokine (MIC) comprised of a masked interferon alpha (IFNa) fused to an antibody that targets the CD138 protein on the surface of the tumor cells. Once QXL138AM binds to the tumor cell, proteases on the cell surface cleave the mask off of the IFNa allowing it to bind its receptor. Activation of the IFNa receptor complex induces direct killing of tumor cells in addition to activating innate and adaptive anti-tumor immunity. Preclinical data has demonstrated significant anti-tumor efficacy across more than 10 tumor types, including multiple myeloma where complete regression at doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg have been observed. Nammi has secured Orphan Drug Designation in multiple myeloma from the FDA based on the strength of this data.
“While the multiple myeloma field has greatly benefitted from development of bispecific and cell therapies, there unfortunately remains a significant need for novel therapeutics such as QXL138AM,” said David Stover, Ph.D., President and CEO of Nammi. “We are very excited to partner with MIF and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and leverage their expertise to accelerate the development of QXL138AM. Together, we will work to realize the potential of this therapy to improve the lives of patients with multiple myeloma.”
With this investment by MIF, Nammi anticipates the $30M Series B financing round will be fully subscribed upon its closing when the first patient has been treated with QXL138AM.
“Nammi’s innovative technology and its application in multiple myeloma is an important step for the myeloma patient community,” said Michael Andreini, President and CEO of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. “Advancing new therapeutic options for patients is the most critical task-at-hand, so we are thrilled to support Nammi’s Phase-1 trial to learn the potential of this exciting new immunotherapy approach.”
About Nammi Therapeutics, Inc.
Nammi Therapeutics, Inc. is an immuno-oncology company based in Los Angeles that is developing platforms and products that selectively activate anti-tumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment while minimizing systemic activation.
