About this trial

This is a phase I, interventional, single-arm, open-label, dose-finding treatment study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of interleukin-7(IL-7) / interleukin-15 (IL-15) manufactured CAR T cells in adult patients with relapsed and/or refractory myeloma that have failed prior therapies.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients must be aged ≥18 years to 80 years old.

Serum M-protein ≥0.5 g/dl;

Urine M-protein ≥200 mg/24 hrs;

Involved serum light chain ≥100 mg/L with abnormal light chain ratio;

Disqualifiers

Positive beta- Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in female of child-bearing potential defined as per the Schedule of Events table.

Confirmed active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B or C infection.

History of significant autoimmune disease OR active, uncontrolled autoimmune phenomenon requiring steroid therapy defined as >20 mg of prednisone or equivalent daily.

Presence of ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities as per CTCAE version 5.0 from any previous treatment unless it is felt to be due to underlying disease.

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • BCMA-TGFβ CAR-T cells (0.50 x 10^6 cells/kg)

    Biological/Vaccine

    This is dose level 0 (de-escalation).

  • BCMA-TGFβ CAR-T cells (0.75 x10^6 cells/kg)

    Biological/Vaccine

    This is dose level 1, the starting dose.

  • BCMA-TGFβ CAR-T cells (1 x 10^6 cells/kg)

    Biological/Vaccine

    This is dose level 2.

  • BCMA-TGFβ CAR-T cells (2.5 x 10^6 cells/kg)

    Biological/Vaccine

    This is dose level 3.

  • Maximum tolerated dose

    Biological/Vaccine

    The maximum tolerated dose is yet to be determined.
