About this trial

This is a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VRD-based regimen combined with BCMA CAR-T in transplant-ineligible patients with primary plasma cell leukemia

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years.

Participants with documented primary plasma cell leukemia according to IMWG diagnostic criteria (circulating plasma cells ≥5%, determined by morphology on peripheral blood smear; or absolute value of peripheral blood tumorigenic plasma cells exceeds 2×10^9/L).

Measurable disease, at screening as defined by any of the following: Serum monoclonal paraprotein (M-protein) level ≥1.0 g/dL or urine M-protein level ≥200 mg/24 hours; or Light chain MM without measurable disease in serum or urine: serum Ig free-light chain (FLC) ≥10 mg/dL and abnormal serum Ig kappa lambda FLC ratio.

Not considered for high-dose chemotherapy with Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) due to: Ineligible due to advanced age (≥65); or Ineligible evaluated by researchers; or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status grade of 3 or 4; or Repeated hematopoietic stem cell mobilization failure; or Deferral of high-dose chemotherapy with ASCT as initial treatment.

Disqualifiers

Documented active amyloidosis.

Documented with central nervous system (CNS) invasion.

Prior exposure to any BCMA-targeted therapy or CAR-T therapy.

Patients with peripheral neuropathy greater than grade 2 or peripheral neuropathy greater than grade 2 with pain at baseline, regardless of whether they were currently receiving medical therapy.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety and Tolerability

The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

Time frame
Up to 2 year
2

MRD-negative rate

achieving MRD-negative, as determined by NGS/NGF after consolidation treatment

Time frame
within 1 week after consolidation treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Complete response rate (CRR)

CR or better is defined as percentage of participants who achieve a CR response or Stringent Complete Response (sCR) response accoording to the IMWG criteria

Time frame
within 1 week after induction therapy, 1 month after the CAR-T cell transfusion, within 1 week after consolidation therapy
2

Progression free survival (PFS)

Progression free survival is defined as the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of first documented PD, as defined in the IMWG criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first

Time frame
Up to 2 year
3

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival is measured from the date of diagnosis to the date of the participant's death.

Time frame
Up to 5 year
4

Duration of Remission(DOR)

Duration from the first evaluation of at least partial remission (PR) to the onset of disease progression or death due to disease progression (whichever occurs first)

Time frame
Up to 2 year

Other outcomes

1

The duration of CART cell in vivo

The copies of BCMA-CART DNA in peripheral blood with qPCR method

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Change from Baseline in Physical status assessed by International Myeloma Working Group Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (IMWG-CGA) scores

The IMWG-CGA was calculated by combining age, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), which ranges from 0 to 5 with higher scores indicating worse physical condition and greater weakness.

Time frame
Baseline up to 5 years
3

Change from Baseline in Physical status assessed by activities of daily living (ADL) scores

The ADL includes 4 items (transfer, bed mobility, toileting, and eating), which range from 0 to 6 scores. A higher score represents worse physical condition and greater weakness.

Time frame
Baseline up to 5 years
4

Change from Baseline in Physical status assessed by instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scores

The IADL includes 5 items (cooking, cleaning, transportation, laundry, and managing finances), which range from 0 to 8 scores. A higher score represents worse physical condition and greater weakness.

Time frame
Baseline up to 5 years
