What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of Stringent Complete Response
Per IMWG 2016 Response Criteria Summary sCR: Complete response (CR) plus a normal free light chain ratio and no clonal cells in bone marrow (by immunohistochemistry). The FLC ratio must be Kappa/Lambda ≤ 4:1 or ≥ 1:2 after counting at least 100 plasma cells. CR: Negative immunofixation in serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow. VGPR: Serum M-protein detectable by immunofixation (not on electrophoresis) or a ≥ 90% reduction in M-protein, with urine M-protein <100 mg/24 hours. PR: ≥ 50% reduction in serum M-protein and a ≥ 90% reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein (or to <200 mg/24 hours). If M-protein is unmeasurable, a ≥ 50% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels is required. If both M-protein and serum-free light chains are unmeasurable, a ≥ 50% reduction in plasma cells is necessary, provided baseline plasma-cell percentage in bone marrow was ≥ 30%. Overall Response (OR): CR+VGPR+PR
Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Descartes 11 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Cartesian Therapeutics at 4 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Rate of Stringent Complete Response (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT04436029, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 3 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
