To Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Human BCMA Targeted CAR-NK Cells Injection for Subjects With R/R MM or PCL

Official title

A Early Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Human BCMA Targeted CAR-NK Cells Injection for Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia

Overview

This study is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics characteristics of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK Cells injection, and to preliminarily observe the efficacy of the trial drug in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia.

Detailed description

Subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia can participate if all eligibility criteria are met. Tests required to determine eligibility including disease assessments, a physical exam, Electrocardiograph, Computed tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)/Positron Emission Tomography (PET), liver/renal function tests, complete blood count with differential and complete metabolic profile and etc. Subjects will receive preconditioning chemotherapy prior to the first infusion of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK Cells injection. After the infusion, subjects will be followed for adverse events, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics characteristics, efficacy of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK cells. Study procedures may be performed while hospitalized.

Interventions

• Pharmacokinetics parameters - the time to reach the highest concentration of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK cells amplified in peripheral blood and bone marrow after infusion [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Pharmacokinetics parameters - the 28-day area under the curve of human BCMA targeted CAR-NK cells amplified in peripheral blood and bone marrow after infusion [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Pharmacodynamics characteristics - the detection values of CRP, IL-6, IL-15, Granzyme B cytokines in peripheral blood [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Pharmacodynamics characteristics - the detection values of monoclonal plasma cell in bone marrow [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Overall response rate (ORR, include PR, VGPR, CR and sCR) after administration [Time frame: 3 months post infusion]
• Percentage of subjects with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Duration of subjects with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Number of subjects with adverse events [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Change from baseline in perform status as measured by Easten Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score [Time frame: Safety Metrics]
• The occurrence rate of adverse events grade≥3 assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0. [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
• Change in body weight over time after infusion [Time frame: 2 years post infusion]
