Phase I Trial of GB1211 (Selvigaltin), an Oral Galectin-3 (Gal-3) Inhibitor, Combined With Standard of Care Treatment in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) GB1211 (SELVIGALTIN) COMBINATION THERAPY

What's the purpose of this trial?

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of selvigaltin when given together with standard of care treatment (daratumumab-hyaluronidase, carfilzomib, dexamethasone) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Selvigaltin works by blocking the activity of a protein called galectin-3. Galectin-3 is involved in various cellular processes, including inflammation and tissue scarring, which is associated with worse outcomes in several forms of cancer. By blocking the activity of galectin-3, selvigaltin may help reduce inflammation and tissue scarring. Daratumumab-hyaluronidase is a drug composed of daratumumab and hyaluronidase. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Hyaluronidase helps deliver the daratumumab to CD38-expressing cancer cells. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving selvigaltin with standard of care treatment may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

* Left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 50% by ECHO or MUGA
* Participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for 6 months following the last dose of the investigational drug. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
* Participants must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known hypersensitivity to selvigaltin or any of the excipients
* Prior hypersensitivity or grade 3 skin toxicity with daratumumab/carfilzomib
* Exposure to prior daratumumab/carfilzomib is permitted, however refractoriness within 6 months of study initiation is exclusionary
* Concomitant medication(s) known to be (a) a strong inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4, (b) strong P-gp/MDRI inhibitors or inducers or, (c) QT interval (QT) prolonging as defined in the drug's label, with the exception of drugs that are considered absolutely essential for the care of the subject or if the Investigator believes that beginning therapy with such medication is vital to an individual subject's care while on study, and in either case, there is no alternative medication
* Electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrating a corrected QT interval (QTc) interval \> 470 msec without a bundle block or patients with congenital long QT syndrome
* Coronary artery bypass, angioplasty, vascular stent, myocardial infarction, angina or congestive heart failure in the last 6 months
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, class III or IV heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification system), or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Confirm low risk of drug-drug interactions or are able to be substituted
* Pregnant or nursing female participants
* Any condition which in the investigator's opinion deems the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug
