About this study

Official title: Phase II Open-Label, Single Arm, Multicenter Study of Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel in High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (GEM-CAR-HiRiSMM)

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, interventional study with Dara-VRD followed by cilta-cel in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) patients.

The primary objectives of this trial, related with efficafy and safety of the treatment, are i) to evaluate the proportion of high-risk SMM patients with undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) at 6 months, 12 months, and thereafter every 12 months up to 5 years after cilta-cel administration as well as the sustained undetectable MRD rate in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population; ii) to annotate frequency and severity of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE), as well as data from laboratory tests aslo related with safety such as Immunoglobulin (Ig) G levels, complete blood count (CBC) cytopenia adn T-cell populations. Secondary objectives are related with response to therapy and will measure different categories of response and survival.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, interventional study with Dara-VRD followed by cilta-cel in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) patients. JNJ-68284528 (ciltacabtagene autoleucel [cilta-cel]) is an autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy that targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a molecule expressed on the surface of mature B-lymphocytes and malignant plasma cells (PCs).

Since the immune system is less impaired in early stages of the disease, high-risk SMM would represent the ideal platform to evaluate the potential of Dara-VRD followed by cilta-cel as a curative approach in high-risk SMM. Study participants will be assigned into 2 groups. Participants in Group 1 will receive a maximum of 2 cycles of Dara-VRD induction therapy followed by apheresis and infusion of cilta-cel. Participants in Group 2 will undergo apheresis followed by Dara-VRD induction and cilta-cel infusion.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone (Dara-VRD) followed by cilta-cel in high-risk SMM. The endpoints for the primary objective will be:

  • To evaluate the proportion of high-risk SMM patients with undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) at 6 months, 12 months, and thereafter every 12 months up to 5 years after cilta-cel administration as well as the sustained undetectable MRD rate in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. MRD will be evaluated in the bone marrow by Next Generation Flow and Next Generation Sequencing with sensitivity level of 10-5.
  • Nature, frequency, severity, and timing of adverse events (AEs), discontinuations due to AEs, and serious adverse events (SAEs).
  • Selected safety laboratory test: Immunoglobulin (Ig) G levels, complete blood count (CBC) cytopenia, and cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) T lymphocytes (T cells).

The key secondary objectives are:

  • To further evaluate the efficacy of Dara-VRD followed by cilta-cel in high-risk SMM patients as measured by ORR as well as different response categories partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR), and stringent CR (sCR), and duration of response (DOR).
  • To assess the survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of patients with high-risk SMM.

What participants receive

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

  • Group 1: Dara-VRD followed by apheresis and cilta-cel infusionDrug

    In Group 1, 10 eligible participants will undergo a maximum of two 28-day induction cycles with Dara-VRD. Participants in Group 1 are considered enrolled as the date of signing the Informed Consent Form. This will be followed by apheresis according to institutional standards with the collection target and instructions for processing and shipping apheresis product provided in the Cell Therapy Investigational Product Procedures Manual. Cilta-cel will be generated from T cells selected from the apheresis. Participants for whom apheresis or manufacturing fails will be allowed a second attempt of apheresis. Between apheresis and cilta-cel infusion, participants will be allowed to have stem cell collection using GCSF+/-plerixafor. Cilta-cel will be manufactured by transduction of T cells with an LV vector expressing anti-BCMA CAR, followed by T cell expansion.

  • Group 2: Apheresis followed by Dara-VRD and cilta-cel infusionDrug

    In Group 2, 10 eligible participants will undergo apheresis first, according to institutional standards with the collection target and instructions for processing and shipping apheresis product provided in the Cell Therapy Investigational Product Procedures Manual. Study enrollment is defined as the date of signing Informed Consent Form. The apheresis will be followed by a maximum of two 28-day induction cycles with DARA-VRD. Cilta-cel will be generated from T cells selected from the apheresis. Participants for whom the apheresis or manufacturing fails will be allowed a second attempt at apheresis. Between apheresis and cilta-cel infusion, participants will be allowed to have stem cell collection using GCSF+/-plerixafor. Cilta-cel will be manufactured by transduction of T cells with an LV vector expressing anti-BCMA CAR, followed by T cell expansion.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate

    To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) as well as different response categories partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), complete response (CR), and stringent CR (sCR), and duration of response (DOR), according to clinical judgement guided by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) consensus recommendations for multiple myeloma treatment response criteria.

    ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who achieve a partial response (PR) or better according to the IMWG criteria after infusion of cilta-cel.

    Measured: 5 Years

  2. Overall Survival

    To assess the survival (OS) of patients with high-risk SMM. OS is defined as the time from the date of the initial infusion of cilta-cel to the date of the subject's death. If the subject is alive or the vital status is unknown, then the subject's data will be censored at the date the subject was last known to be alive.

    Measured: 5 Years

  3. Progression-Free Survival

    To assess progression free survival (PFS) of patients with high-risk SMM. PFS is defined as the time from the date of the first administration of study treatment to the date of first documented disease progression to myeloma defining events, as defined in the IMWG criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. For subjects who have not progressed and are alive, data will be censored at the last disease evaluation before the start of any subsequent anti-myeloma therapy.

    Measured: 5 Years

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 María-Victoria Mateos (+34 923 291 100, mvmateos@usal.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?
