About this trial
This is a single center, single arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study to observe the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of ESO-T01 injection for treating patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years;
Diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) confirmed according to the IMWG diagnostic criteria, with BCMA expression on MM cells determined by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry;
Previously treated with at least 2 lines of anti-MM therapy, with at least 1 complete treatment cycle for each line, and disease progression within 12 months after the most recent anti-myeloma treatment, or being refractory to both immunomodulatory drugs and proteasome inhibitors, along with disease progression within 2 months after the most recent anti-myeloma treatment (according to the IMWG diagnostic criteria);
Disease must be measurable at screening, meeting at least one of the following criteria:Serum M-protein level ≥ 0.5 g/dL; Urinary M-protein level ≥ 200 mg/24h; Serum involved free light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL and an abnormal serum free light chain κ/λ ratio;
Disqualifiers
Previous anticancer treatment (as determined by the investigator): a. Received targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, other investigational drugs, or treatment using invasive investigational medical devices within 5 half-lives; b. Received immune/non-immune-directed systemic therapy within 1 week; Received cytotoxic therapy within 1 week; c. Received proteasome inhibitors or immunomodulatory agent therapy within 2 weeks; d. Received radiotherapy within 4 weeks (if the radiation field covered ≤5% of bone marrow reserve, the subject is eligible regardless of the date of radiotherapy completion);
Received allogeneic HSCT within 6 months prior to infusion, or autologous HSCT within 3 months prior to infusion;
Other malignancies prior to screening (except the following): Malignancies treated with curative intent and no evidence of active disease ≥2 years before enrollment; Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer with no evidence of disease;
Previously treated with any viral therapy using VSVG pseudotype virus;

Treatments tested in this trial
ESO-T01
DrugESO-T01 injection is the third-generation self-inactivating lentiviral vector targeting T cells in vivo, which carries a single VHH-directed BCMA-targeted CAR.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Dose limiting toxicity will be assessed after injection
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS)
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) would be graded according to the ASTCT consensus.
immune cell-associated immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS)
ICANS would be scored according to Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE), and then graded by the ASTCT consensus.
Treatment-associated adverse effects (AEs)
All other AEs would be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 5.0).
Secondary outcomes
Overall response rate (ORR)
Clinical efficacy can be evaluated according to the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria.
Complete response (CR) rate
sCR/CR can be evaluated according to the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group consensus criteria.
Duration of response (DOR)
DOR is defined as the interval between the first sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR after infusion and the disease progression or death.
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the interval between a subject's receipt of ESO-T01 infusion and the first assessment of disease progression or death.
