About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of Redirected Autologous T Cells With a BCMA-targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

A single arm, open-label pilot study is designed to determine the safety, efficacy and cytokinetics of CAR-BCMA T cells in patients with BCMA-positive refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and engraftment potential of anti-BCMA lentivirus-transduced autologous T cells in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.

Primary objectives:

  1. Determine the safety and tolerability of CAR-BCMA T cells (autologous T cells transduced with chimeric antigen receptors recognizing BCMA) in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.
  2. Observe the cytokinetics of CAR-BCMA T cells.

Secondary objectives:

  1. Observe the anti-tumor response of CAR-BCMA T cells to refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (evaluated by diagnostic criteria International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG2014 version) as CR, sCR, ICR, MCR or VGPR).
  2. Make an evaluation on the distribution and in vivo survival of CAR-BCMA T cells in peripheral blood, lymph node, and bone marrow.
  3. Observe the immunogenicity of CAR-BCMA T cells, and determine if there is anti-BCMA scFv cellular immune response and anti-BCMA scFv humoral immune response.
  4. Observe the change of T cell subsets relative to CAR-BCMA T。 (Tcm, central memory T lymphocytes; Tem, effector memory T lymphocytes; Treg, regulatory T lymphocytes).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CAR-BCMA T cellsExperimentalIn this study, autologous T cells transduced with a BCMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-BCMA T cells) are used to treat patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma. Route of administration: Intravenous injection. Lymphodepletion conditioning: Lymphodepletion will be conducted several days prior to CAR-BCMA T cells infusion. A combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be used for lymphodepletion.
Receives: Genetic: CAR-BCMA T cells; Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: Cyclophosphamide

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and effectivity - Incidence of study related adverse events

    Incidence of study related adverse events which are defined as laboratory toxicities and clinical events that are possible, likely or definitely related to study treatment at any time from the infusion until week 24, including infusion related toxicity and any toxicity possibly related to CAR-BCMA T cells.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Engraftment

    Duration of in vivo survival of CAR-BCMA T cells is defined as "engraftment". After 24 hours of infusion, the CAR-BCMA DNA sequence was detected by PCR according to the follow-up time point, until the result of any two consecutive tests was negative and recorded as the "engraftment endpoint" of CAR-BCMA T cells.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Statistical parameter of efficacy assessment：PFS

    Statistical parameter：Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Statistical parameter of efficacy assessment：DCR

    Statistical parameter:Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Statistical parameter of efficacy assessment：ORR

    Statistical parameter:Objective Remission Rate (ORR)

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Statistical parameter of efficacy assessment：OS

    Statistical parameter:Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CAR-BCMA T cells, Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide in people with Refractory or Relapsed Multiple Myeloma, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and effectivity - Incidence of study related adverse events (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03716856.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2020.
