Tadalafil and Lenalidomide Maintenance With or Without Activated Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes (MILs) in High Risk Myeloma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Biological: aMIL
Registration Number
NCT01858558
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

This research is being done to find out if altering the immune system by giving activated marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs) can improve outcomes for multiple myeloma patients who receive a standard autologous stem cell transplant.

  • Patients must have had > than PR after last therapy.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis of any of the following cancers:

    • POEMS syndrome (plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein [M-protein] and skin changes);
    • Non-secretory myeloma (no measurable protein on Serum Free Lite Assay);
    • Plasma cell leukemia;
  • Diagnosis of amyloidosis;

  • Failed to achieve at least a partial response (PR) to latest therapy;

  • Previous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;Patients can have had prior relapsed disease as long as they have never been previously transplanted;

  • Use of any myeloma-specific therapy within 21 days of bone marrow collection;

  • Infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, antifungal, or antiviral agents within seven days of registration;

  • Participation in any clinical trial within 28 days of registration on this trial, which involved an investigational drug or device;

  • History of malignancy other than multiple myeloma within five years of registration, except adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of MILs as Assessed by the Ability to Harvest, Expand, and Infuse the MILs Product120 days

Feasibility is defined as the ability to harvest, expand, and infuse the MILs product within 120 days. After treating 60 patients with MILs, we will declare MILs not feasible if we can only harvest, expand, and deliver MILs to 40 or fewer patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free Survival (PFS)5 years

Median PFS time equals the time of randomization (in months) until disease progression, death from any cause, or protocol deviation due to lenalidomide dosing (above 10mg), whichever occurs first.

Toxicity as Determined by Total Number of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events60 days from aMILs harvest until day 60 after transplant

Total number of adverse events grade 3 or higher that occur from MILs harvest through 60 days after transplant.

Overall Survival (OS)3 years

OS assessed by number of participants alive at the end of follow up period.
