- Participant is ≥ 18 years of age.
- ECOG Performance status ≤ 2.

- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5× institutional upper limit of normal (except in patients with Gilbert's syndrome, active hemolysis or disease involvement of the liver.)

- Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min.
- Cardiac ejection fraction of ≥ 50%
- Adequate pulmonary function as defined as pulse oximetry ≥ 92% on room air.
- Subjects (or legal guardians) must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the BAFF CAR-T cell infusion.
- For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period , and agreement to refrain from donating spermfor at least 6 months after the BAFF CAR-T cell infusion.
Who cannot join
- ASCT within 6 weeks prior to informed consent.
- History of allogeneic transplantation.
- Active graft-versus-host disease.
- Active central nervous system or meningeal involvement by lymphoma or leukemia. Subjects with untreated brain metastases/CNS disease will be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. Patients with a history of CNS or meningeal involvement must be in a documented remission by CSF evaluation and contrast-enhanced MRI imaging for at least 90 days prior to enrollment.
- Known active additional malignancies which require systemic treatment (non-immediately morbid malignancies receiving only low-toxicity regimens such as hormone suppression for prostate or breast cancer may be allowed at the judgment of the investigator.)
- Less than 28 days elapsed between prior treatment with investigational agent(s) and the day of lymphocyte collection.
Show all 15Show fewer
- Cardiovascular disorders including symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction or stroke (including transient ischemic attack, or other ischemic event).
- Active infection requiring intravenous systemic treatment.
- HIV seropositivity.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study.
- Evidence of myelodysplasia or cytogenetic abnormality indicative of myelodysplasia on any bone marrow biopsy prior to initiation of therapy.
- Serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B or C infection. Patients that are positive for hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibody must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) prior to enrollment. (PCR positive patients will be excluded.)
- Patients with history of active and clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, seizure disorders, paresis, aphasia, uncontrolled cerebrovascular disease, severe brain injuries, dementia and Parkinson's disease.
- Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- History of autoimmune disease (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus) with requirement of immunosuppressive medications (other than low dose steroids) within 2 months.

About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Study of BAFF CAR-T Cells (LMY-920) for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and Multiple Myeloma (MM)
Therapy with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells has demonstrated activity against relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma, however not all tumors respond or remain in response to CD19 targeted CAR-T cells. We posit that CAR-T cells expressing BAFF (BAFF CAR-T cells) can become another strategy to treat refractory lymphoma, even after relapse following cluster of differentiation antigen 19 (CD19) targeting CAR-T treatment.
This Phase 2 study will establish the safety and efficacy profile of LMY-920.
Read the detailed description
LMY-920 is an autologous CAR-T cell therapy consisting of autologous cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) positive and cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) positive human T cells that are genetically engineered using the non-viral transposon system to express the BAFF-ligand CAR-T that target BAFF receptor family members to eliminate malignant B cells.
BAFF receptor family includes B-cell activating factor receptor (BR3), B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI). These receptors are present on non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
The goal of the Phase 2 LMY-920-004 study is to establish the safety profile of LMY-920 and to determine the objective response rate.
