Official title
CAR-T Immunomonitoring in Multiple Myeloma
Overview
Multiple myeloma patients can be treated with cell therapy, which uses some of their own modified white blood cells (T lymphocytes) to target a protein (BCMA, or B-cell maturation antigen) found on the surface of the myeloma plasma cells. These modified T lymphocytes are called CAR T cells (chimeric antigen receptor T cells). The long-term persistence of these modified lymphocytes, or CAR-BCMA, is a recognized indicator of a good response to treatment. This research aims to study certain markers related to CAR-BCMA cell persistence. This research will be carried out in collaboration with the Laboratory of Ischemia Reperfusion, Metabolism and Sterile Inflammation in Transplantation (IRMETIST) INSERM unit U1313, located at the University of Poitiers. The proposed project will contribute to better patient care in the field of oncology, by identifying immunological cellular markers predictive of an effective response to anti-cancer treatments and/or immunotherapeutic targeting.
Detailed description
Multiple myeloma data will be collected from initial diagnosis and relapses, treatments receive since initial diagnosis and the CAR-T therapy (start of CAR-T therapy, type of CAR-T, responder status). Before and up to 1 year after CART C Cells treatment, blood (7) and bone marrow (3) samples will be sent to a centralised laboratories to analyse immune cells, including CAR-BCMA cells, and measure the expression of certain proteins on their surface (CD95 and CD95L) and the serum-soluble CD95L protein.
