About this study

Official title: Strategies to Isolate and Expand Myeloma Specific T-cells Using Autologous B Cells as Antigen Presenting Cell B-APC

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about T cells and plan better treatment for multiple myeloma.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at T cells in blood and bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the feasibility of expanding myeloma-specific T cells using autologous ex vivo expanded B cells loaded with myeloma antigens as antigen-presenting cells (B-APCs) in peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma.

Secondary

  • To examine the feasibility of selecting and expanding myeloma-specific T cells ex vivo using interferon γ release and CD3/CD28 stimulation.

OUTLINE: Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples are collected periodically for laboratory studies. Samples are analyzed to assess the feasibility of expanding autologous B cells ex vivo using CD40L and IL-4; the antigen-presenting phenotype of autologous B-cell antigen-presenting cells (B-APCs) using flow cytometry; and the antigen-presenting function of B-APCs using ELISPOT and chromium-release assay. Myeloma-specific interferon γ secreting T cells are isolated and selected using Miltenyi beads. The selected myeloma-specific T cells are expanded ex vivo using anti CD3/CD28 beads.

Being tested
flow cytometry, immunoenzyme technique, laboratory biomarker analysis
Keywords
stage I multiple myeloma, stage II multiple myeloma, stage III multiple myeloma, refractory multiple myeloma

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • flow cytometryOther

    Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.

  • immunoenzyme techniqueOther

    Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.

  • laboratory biomarker analysisOther

    Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Myeloma-specific T Cells ex Vivo Expanded Using Flow Cytometry

    Measured: Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cell Counts of Myeloma-specific T Cells ex Vivo Expanded Before and After CD3/CD28 Stimulation

    Measured: Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Myeloma-specific T Cells ex Vivo Expanded Using Flow Cytometry (time frame: Collection of PBMCs over a period of 9-12 months, and the laboratory component will be performed over another year.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2016.
