About this trial

This study is a single-center, open-label, dose-exploration study to observe the safety and efficacy of different doses of CAR-GPRC5D in patients with R/R MM or plasma cell leukemia.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

age 18 to 75 years old, male or female.

Subjects have had at least 3 prior lines of therapy including chemotherapy based on proteasome inhibitors (PIs) and immunomodulatory agents (IMiDs).

Evidence of cell membrane GPRC5D expression, as determined by a validated immunohistochemistry (IHC) or flow cytometry of tumor tissue (e.g., bone marrow biopsies, or plasmacytoma).

ECOG performance score 0-2.

Disqualifiers

Subjects who are known to have GVHD or need long-term immunosuppressive therapy.

Subjects who were receiving a used therapeutic dose of corticosteroid treatment (defined as prednisone or equivalent > 20mg) within 7 days prior to screening, except for physiological alternatives, inhalation, or topical use.

Subjects with hypertension that cannot be controlled by medication.

Subjects with serious heart disease: including but not limited to unstable angina, myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to screening), congestive heart failure (NYHA classification ≥III), and severe arrhythmias.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CAR-T (CAR-GPRC5D)

    Drug

    CAR-GPRC5D (RD118) is an individualized, gene-modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy product targeting GPRC5D that identifies and eliminates malignant and normal cells expressing GPRC5D. The CAR structure comprises a fully human single-domain antibody fragment (VHH) targeting GPRC5D, fused with intracellular co-stimulatory (4-1BB) and activation (CD3ζ) signaling domains.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by dose group

Dose limiting toxicity will be assessed after infusion in each dose group

Time frame
28 days after CAR-T cell infusion
2

Type and incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) by dose group

Calculate type and incidence of adverse events (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), including those happened after lymphodepletion and after infusion, those related to study drug and lymphodepletion, or those that led to withdrawal from the study. They will also be aggregated by systematic organ classification (SOC), preferred term (PT), and severity

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective response rate (ORR)

The percentage of participants who achieved PR or better response.

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
2

Overall survival (OS)

OS is measured from the date of the initial infusion of CAR-GPRC5D to the date of the participant's death

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
3

Duration of response (DOR) after administration

DOR will be calculated among responders (with a PR or better response) from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease, as defined in the IMWG criteria

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
4

Progression-free survival (PFS)

The time from the start of CAR-GPRC5D treatment for the participants to the first time of disease progression or death for any reason

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion

Other outcomes

1

Positive rate of human anti-CAR antibody

The levels of human anti-CAR antibody of participants will be detected

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
2

Number of Participants with replication competent lentivirus (RCL)

Number of participants exhibiting anti-drug antibodies for CAR-GPRC5D will be reported

Time frame
2 years after CAR-T cell infusion
