About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Clinical Study of Fully Human BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor Autologous T Cell Injection (CT103A) in the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

It is a dose expansion, open-label, phase Ib study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and immunogenicity of CT103A in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

A total of at least 12 subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study. Each subject will proceed through the following study periods:

  • Screening
  • Leukapheresis
  • Bridging therapy (at the discretion of the investigator)
  • Pre-lymphodepletion assessment
  • Lymphodepleting chemotherapy
  • Pre-infusion Assessment
  • CT103A infusion (Day 0)
  • 28-Day safety evaluation period
  • Post-treatment follow-up period (Day 29 through year 2)

All the subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy until disease progression, initiation of subsequent anti-myeloma therapy, withdrawal, death, loss to follow-up, study completion, end of study, or study termination, whichever occurs first. Subjects except those that are deceased, lost to follow-up, or have withdrawn their ICF will enter the long-term follow-up (LTFU) under a separate protocol for at least 15 years.

What participants receive

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

  • Fully human BCMA chimeric antigen receptor autologous T cell injection (CT103A)Drug

    Also called CT103A

    CT103A is an BCMA targeted genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy product that identifies and eliminates BCMA-expressing malignant and normal cells. CAR specifically recognizes BCMA with a low-immunogenic fully human single chain fragment variable (scFv), promotes CAR-T activation, proliferation, cytokine secretion and target cell killing through the CD3ζ domain, and enhances CAR-T proliferation and persistence through co-stimulatory signaling via 4-1BB.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fully human BCMA chimeric antigen receptor autologous T cell injection (CT103A) in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Nanjing IASO Biotechnology Co., Ltd. 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?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Robert Z. Orlowski, M.D., Ph.D. (713-792-2860, rorlowsk@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and severity of adverse events (time frame: Up to 2 years after CT103A infusion.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05698303, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Jan 2023.
