About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2a, Open-label, Dose-escalation, Dose-expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety and Clinical Activity of PBCAR269A, With or Without Nirogacestat, in Study Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This is a Phase 1/2a, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR269A, with or without nirogacestat, in adults with r/r MM. Study subjects in Cohort A will receive PBCAR269A and study subjects in Cohort B will receive PBCAR269A and nirogacestat. At each dose level, study subjects in Cohort A and Cohort B will receive the same dose of PBCAR269A. In Cohort B, all study subjects will follow the same dosing regimen of nirogacestat. This study was terminated prior to beginning of Phase II due to lack of sufficient therapeutic effect

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR269A, with or without nirogacestat, in adults with r/r MM. Before initiating the study treatment PBCAR269A, all study participants will be administered lymphodepletion chemotherapy. The initial lymphodepletion chemotherapy regimen will be composed of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide during the Screening Period. Study subjects in Cohort B will also receive nirogacestat. On Day 0 of the Treatment Period, study participants will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of PBCAR269A. All subjects are monitored during the treatment period through Day 28. All subjects who receive a dose of PBCAR269A, with or without nirogacestat, will be followed in a separate long-term follow-up (LTFU) study for 15 years after exiting this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of PBCAR269A

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is defined as the dose level at which fewer than 33% of patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) using a 3+3 strategy.

    Measured: Day 1 - Day 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity(ies)

    To assess adverse events as dose limiting toxicities as defined by the protocol and CTCAE v5.0.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Objective Response Rate of Patients

    To assess ORR to treatment with PBCAR269A through Day 360 will be noted using the IMWG response criteria.

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of study participants meeting the definition of response within the study population to the response evaluable population. ORR will be summarized by number and percentage of study participants meeting the definition of ORR along with the corresponding exact 95% CIs. DoR, defined as the duration (days) from initial response to disease relapse, progression, or death will be descriptively analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. The number of study participants achieving DoR at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months will also be calculated. Exploratory efficacy analyses include changes from Baseline in CBC counts, CAR T cells, cytokines, and CRP levels.

    Measured: 1 year

Model description
In Phase I, 3 escalating dose groups will be enrolled and treated sequentially, with the possibility of a single de-escalation. Within each dose group, at least 3 and at most 6 study participants will be treated with a single dose of PBCAR269A using a standard 3 + 3 design. The starting dose of PBCAR269A will be 6 x 105 CAR T cells/kg body weight. Subsequent dose groups will be treated with escalating doses to a maximum dose of 6 x 106 CAR T cells/kg. In the absence of DLTs, the dose will be increased using a fixed-dose scheme.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PBCAR269A, Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide in people with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Precision BioSciences, Inc. at 5 sites in United States.

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 23 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study was terminated due to lack of sufficient therapeutic effect). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of PBCAR269A (time frame: Day 1 - Day 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Sep 2023.
