Trial of an Investigational Drug After Rejecting the Relapse of an Allogeneic Transplant
- Conditions
- Multiple MyelomaAllogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
- Interventions
- Genetic: CARTemis-1
- Registration Number
- NCT05982275
- Brief Summary
Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die due to relapse resistant to current treatment, including treatment with anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T cells. To overcome some of the potential limitations of this therapy, a new and optimized Anti-BCMA CAR-T has been developed, with the aim of using it in patients with MM who relapse after Allogeneic Haematopoietic Haematopoietic Progenitor. This trial is a prospective phase I/II trial with a 3+3 design. Once Dose Limiting Toxicity is identified, Phase II will begin to assess the efficacy of the procedure.
- Detailed Description
This trial is a prospective phase I/II trial with a 3+3 design. Once Dose Limiting Toxicity is identified (up to a maximum dose of 6x106 CAR-T/kg divided over 2 days), phase II of the trial will begin to assess the efficacy of the procedure.
A number of 25 patients will be included to evaluate.

Group Intervention Description CARTemis-1 CARTemis-1 Dose escalation sequential cohorts CARTemis-1 will be self-administered intravenously one or two days, depending on the dose administered.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum tolerated dose Up to 30 days To determine the maximum tolerated dose of CarTemis-1
Purity of CARTemis-1 Immediately after infusion Number of cases in which, after performing apheresis, the manufacturing process is completed and CARTemis-1 cells are infused
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction Up to 36 months after treatment administration Describe the adverse event that occurs in a clinical trial subject, which is assessed by the sponsor and or study investigator as being unexpected, serious and as having a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship with the study drug.
Infusion reactions Immediately after intravenous administration of CARTemis-1 To appearance of any of the following symptoms after intravenous administration of CARTemis-1: cardiac events, chills, dyspnea, fatigue, sudden hypertension, hypotension, nausea, pain, fever, skin rash, and urticaria.
Tumor lysis syndrome Up to 30 days after treatment administration To increase nucleic acids, potassium, and phosphate in the blood
Serious Adverse Event Up to 36 months after treatment administration Type, incidence, severity (graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0), timing, intensity, and relatedness of adverse events).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Persistence of CARTemis-1 Peripheral blood:days 3,7,10,14,17 (only in cohort 3 and 4),21,30,56,90,128 and 156, and months 6,9,12,15,18,24 and relapse or month 36 post-infusion; Marrow: 1,3,6,12,18 and 24 months post-infusion and in the progression or month Presence of CARTemis-1 in peripheral blood and bone marrow
Expression of B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) Screening and at the time of follow up when a relapse occurs, an average after 1 year Genetic expression of BCMA at selection and at relapse in patients
Overall response rate 3, 6 and 12 months after CARTemis-1 infusion Overall response rate as assessed by criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group
Progression-free survival. Up to 36 months after treatment administration Quantification of time between administration of CARTemis-1 and disease progression or death
Number of Participants with cytopenias During the first 90 days after administration of CARTemis-1 Neutropenias or thrombopenias
Overall survival Up to 36 months after treatment administration the time elapsed between the infusion of CARTemis-1 and the patient's death from any cause.
CART cell quality During the manufacturing process, at the time of infusion and at Month+1, Month+3, Month+6, Month+12, Month+18 and Month+24 post-infusion Evaluation of the biological characteristics of CARTemis-1 performed by flow cytometry to identify the optimal time of expansion as well as to study the dynamics of CAR T cells during the manufacturing process and how the manufacturing impacts on CAR T cell features and, therefore, CAR T cell quality.
Time to best response Up to 36 months after treatment administration Duration of clinical response as assessed by Urinalysis (immunofixation, proteinuria and 24-h urine proteinogram), Blood tests (total immunoglobulin A, G and M, immunofixation and proteinogram (M component) in serum; serum free light chains), Bone Marrow Aspirate and Positron Emission Tomography
