Overview

Study Title

Phase II Multicenter Trial of anti-B Cell Maturation Antigen Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Multiple Myeloma Patients with Sub-Optimal Response After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Maintenance Lenalidomide

Summary

This study is designed as a Phase II, multicenter, single arm trial to assess anti-B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells (bb2121) to improve post autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) responses among patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Objective

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of BCMA CAR T cell therapy to improve the response in patients who received an upfront autologous HCT and lenalidomide maintenance Clinical Secondary Objective: Clinical secondary objectives include: Assessment of disease progression, best disease response as described by conversion to MRD negativity and upgrade in clinical disease response, non-relapse mortality, progression free survival, incidence of CRS, incidence of prolonged cytopenias, and incidence of neurotoxicity. Exploratory Objectives: Exploratory objectives to be described include: Incidence of toxicities greater than or equal to grade 3 per CTCAE version 5.0, incidence of infections per protocol-specific MOP, feasibility of reinitiating maintenance, overall survival, disease response, CAR T-cell Expansion, CAR T-cell persistence, BCMA expression, immune reconstitution

Treatments

Therapies

Must meet the criteria for symptomatic MM requiring therapy (Appendix A) prior to initiating initial systemic anti-myeloma treatment.

Must have received initial systemic anti- myeloma therapy consisting of induction therapy and consolidation with high-dose melphalan (>140 mg/m2 ) followed by an auto HCT (minimum cell dose of 2x106 CD34+ cells/kg (actual body weight) within 12 months from initiation of systemic anti-myeloma therapy.

Must have Karnofsky performance greater than or equal to 70.

Must have recovered to Grade 1 or baseline of any non-hematologic toxicities due to prior treatments, excluding Grade 2 neuropathy.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mm3 without filgrastim use in the prior 14 days.

Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3 (without platelet transfusion in the previous 7 days or thrombopoietin mimetics in the previous 28 days).

Agree to abstain from breastfeeding from screening through at least 1 year following bb2121 infusion or 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide, whichever is later.

Male patients must: a. Agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a FCBP, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy, from screening through at least 1 year following bb2121 infusion or 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide whichever is later b. Must not donate sperm from screening through at least 1 year following bb2121 infusion or 4 weeks following discontinuation of lenalidomide whichever is later.

Exclusion Criteria

Female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who: (a) has achieved menarche at some point, (2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or (3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
