About this study

Official title: Induction of Anti-Myeloma Stem Cell Immunity With Infusions of Autologous Activated T Cells Armed With OKT3 x Rituxan (Anti-CD3 x Anti-CD20) Bispecific Antibody (CD20Bi) (Phase I).

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy followed by treated T cells before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. High-dose chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give treated T cells followed by stem cell transplant in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To test the feasibility and safety of infusing anti-CD3 x anti-CD20 bispecific antibody-armed activated T cells (CD20Bi-AATC) before stem cell mobilization and collection for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in patients with multiple myeloma.

Secondary

  • To explore functional changes in immune cell populations as a consequence of immunotherapy to test the hypothesis that CD20Bi-AATC can induce anti-clonogenic myeloma precursor cell (CMPC) effect as measured by cytotoxicity; serum cytokine levels; and serum antibody titers to myeloma cells pre-immunotherapy, after immunotherapy, and after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous PBSCT.
  • To explore whether the infusion of CD20Bi-AATC reduces the proportion of plasma cells with the CD20+ CMPC phenotype in patients' bone marrow as assessed by multi-color flow cytometry before and after immunotherapy.
  • To assess the proportion of bone marrow colony-forming assays before induction or salvage chemotherapy, pre-immunotherapy, and post-immunotherapy to determine whether the infusion grossly affects the bone marrow progenitor populations.
  • To explore whether infusions of CD20Bi-AATC induce a B-cell defect causing an immunoglobulin deficiency after autologous PBSCT.
  • To measure immunoglobulin deficiency after autologous PBSCT (e.g., quantitative IgG, IgM, and IgA levels and number of circulating T- and B-cell subsets).

OUTLINE: After completion of induction or salvage chemotherapy, patients receive immunotherapy comprising anti-CD3 x anti-CD20-armed ATC IV weekly for 2 weeks. At least 1-3 weeks after the second infusion, patients receive high-dose chemotherapy and then undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Patients then undergo leukapheresis for G-CSF-mobilized autologous T-cells.

Blood samples are collected periodically to evaluate antibody titers to recall antigens; serum IgG, IgM, and IgA levels; the proportion of circulating B-cells by phenotyping for CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23, CD4, CD8, and CD38; the ability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to kill multiple myeloma cell lines or the patient's own cryopreserved myeloma cells via cytotoxicity assays and ELISPOT assays; and human anti-mouse antibody responses to murine IgG2a (OKT3). Bone marrow biopsies are also collected to analyze the phenotype of cells (CD20+, CD138-, CD27+, CD22, etc.) via flow cytometry and the proportion of plasma cells via flow cytometry and hematoxylin-and-eosin staining.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cell-based toxicities according to NCI CTCAE v3.0 criteria

    Measured: Up to week 4 after chemotherapy

  2. Ability to mobilize the number of stem cells required for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT)

    Measured: By day 30 after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Engraftment of neutrophils

    Measured: At day 28 after autologous PBSCT

  2. Functional changes in immune cell populations

    Measured: Prior to immunotherapy (IT), after IT, high dose chemotherapy (HDC)/ autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and boost infusion

  3. Assess proportion of erythroid blast-forming unit (BFU)-E, colony forming unit-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU)-GM, CFU-GEMM (granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte, megakaryocyte) & erythroid colony forming (CFU-E)

    To determine whether infusions of CD20 Bi-AATC grossly affected the bone marrow progenitor populations.

    Measured: Prior to induction or salvage chemotherapy; Pre & post IT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing anti-CD3 x anti-CD20 bispecific antibody-armed activated T cells, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in people with 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Cell-based toxicities according to NCI CTCAE v3.0 criteria (time frame: Up to week 4 after chemotherapy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Sep 2013.
