Trial Title:

Ide-cel CAR-T cell treatment with lenalidomide maintenance for newly diagnosed myeloma (KarMMa-9)

Treatments:

Ide-cel (bb2121) (CAR-T cell therapy)
Lenalidomide (Revlimid®)
Fludarabine
Cyclophosphamide

Myeloma stage:

Newly Diagnosed

Trial phase:

III

Summary

Summary:

This trial is investigating the effectiveness and tolerability of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) maintenance treatment compared to lenalidomide maintenance treatment on it’s own, for people with newly diagnosed myeloma who have not had a complete response to high‑dose therapy and stem cell transplantation (HDT-SCT).

CAR-T cell treatment is a type of immunotherapy and uses the body’s own immune system to kill myeloma cells. CAR-T cells are made by taking T-cells (a type of immune cell) from the patient’s blood and genetically modifying them in a laboratory, so they are much better at finding and killing myeloma cells. The new CAR-T cells are then given back to the patient. The CAR-T cells can then find and kill the myeloma cells.

Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) that works by affecting the body’s immune system. Maintenance treatment in myeloma is treatment given long‑term after the main treatment has finished and is intended to lengthen remission time and delay disease progression.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham

Who can enter the study?

Who can enter the study?:

Newly diagnosed myeloma patients who have had high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-SCT) for myeloma. Patients must have had at least a partial response (PR) or very good partial response (VGPR) to treatment and had their stem cell transplant 80-120 days ago.

High-dose (induction) therapy before transplant must have included 4-6 cycles of therapy that included a proteosome inhibitor and immunomodulatory agent (IMiD) with or without a CD38 monoclonal antibody.

What's involved?

What's involved?:

Patients will be randomised to receive either ide-cel CAR-T treatment with lenalidomide maintainence, fludarabine (Fludara®) and cyclophosphamide or lenalidomide maintenance treatment alone.

Patients will be required to attend outpatient clinics for regular check-ups and tests.

Patients will be followed up for up to 5 years.

Clinical Information

Clinical Information
(for Medical Professionals):

A randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial to compare the efficacy and safety of idecabtagene vicleucel With lenalidomide maintenance versus lenalidomide maintenance therapy alone in adult participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have suboptimal response after autologous stem cell transplantation (KarMMa-9).
