A Study to Evaluate the Safety of bb2121 in Subjects With High Risk, Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04196491
Lead Sponsor
Celgene
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1, single arm study intended to determine the optimal target dose and safety of bb2121 in subjects with HR (R-ISS Stage III per IMWG criteria) NDMM. Subjects should have received 3 Cycles of standard induction therapy prior to undergoing leukapheresis procedure to collect autologous mononuclear cells for manufacture of the drug product (bb2121). Following manufacture of the drug product, subjects will receive fourth cycle of induction therapy followed by lymphodepleting therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide prior to bb2121 infusion. Maintenance therapy is recommended for all subjects who have received bb2121 infusion and should be initiated upon adequate bone marrow recovery or from 90-day post-bb2121 infusion, whichever is later.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse Events (AEs)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused

An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) should be considered an AE.

Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) ratesUp to completion of DLT period after last subject bb2121 infused

DLTs will be assessed during the DLT interval (ie, within 21 days immediately after bb2121 infusion). DLTs are defined as any bb2121 related Grade 3 to 5 toxicity.
