p-bcma-allo1 allogeneic car-t cells in the treatment of subjects with multiple myeloma

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma

Summary: phase 1 study comprised of open-label, dose escalation, multiple cohorts of p-bcma-allo1 allogeneic t stem cell memory (tscm) car-t cells in subjects with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (rrmm).

phase 1/1b study: phase 1 part 1 is a weight-based dose escalation following a 3+3 design of dose-escalating cohorts. phase 1 part 2 includes administration at fixed doses. after enrollment, subjects may receive a lymphodepletion therapy regimen before administration of allogeneic car-t cells, administered as a single or multiple dose(s). treated subjects will undergo serial measurements of safety, tolerability and response. rimiducid may be administered as indicated. phase 1b of the study will undergo further expansion of cohorts/arms from phase 1 parts 1 or 2 or an intermediate dose between cohort levels.
