About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial for the Safety and Efficacy of APRIL CAR-T Cells Therapy for Patients With BCMA/TACI Positive Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A study of APRIL CAR-T cells therapy for patients with BCMA/TACI positive relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, open-label, single-center study. This study is indicated for relapsed or refractory BCMA/TACI positive relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. The selections of dose levels and the number of subjects are based on clinical trials of similar foreign products. 36 patients will be enrolled. Primary objective is to explore the safety, main consideration is dose-related safety.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Adverse events assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 criteria

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after APRIL targeted CAR T-cells infusion

  2. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Measured: Time Frame: Up to 2 years after APRIL targeted CAR T-cells infusion

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Multiple Myeloma (MM), Overall response rate (ORR)

    Assessment of ORR (ORR = sCR+CR+VGPR+PR+MR) at Month 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24

    Measured: At Month 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24

  2. MM, Overall survival (OS)

    From the first infusion of APRIL CAR-T cells to death or the last visit

    Measured: Up to 2 years after APRIL CAR-T cells infusion

  3. MM, Event-free survival (EFS)

    From the first infusion of APRIL CAR-T cells to the occurrence of any event, including death, relapse or gene relapse, disease progression (any one occurs first), and the last visit

    Measured: Up to 2 years after APRIL CAR-T cells infusion

  4. Quality of life including sports activity

    Assessment using European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scale [For item1-28: max score: 112, min score: 28, higher scores mean a better outcome; for item 28-29: max score: 14, min score: 2, higher scores mean a worse outcome] to measure Quality of life at Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Measured: At Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

  5. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score

    Assessment using Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale (Barthel Index) [max score: 100, min score: 0, higher scores mean a better outcome] at Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Measured: At Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

  6. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) score

    Assessment of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale [max score: 56, min score: 14, higher scores mean a worse outcome] at Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Measured: At Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

  7. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score

    Assessment using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [max score: 42, min score: 0, higher scores mean a worse outcome] at Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

    Measured: At Baseline, Month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing APRIL CAR-T cells in people with Multiple Myeloma in Relapse and Multiple Myeloma, Refractory, run by Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. 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 China. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact He Huang, PhD (86-13605714822, hehuangyu@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after APRIL targeted CAR T-cells infusion). 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 9 May 2022.
