A Phase 1/2 Study of a Fully Human BCMA-targeting CAR (CT103A) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (FUMANBA-1)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is a single-armed, open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT103A in subjects with relapsed and refractory MM.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Leukapheresis procedure will be performed to manufacture CT103A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells. Bridging therapy is allowed between PBMC collection and lymphodepletion. Lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide was performed for three consecutive days. After 1-day rest, subjects will receive a single dose infusion of CT103A at 1.0 x 10^6 CAR+ T cells/Kg. Subjects will be followed in the study for a minimum of 2 years after CT103A infusion. Long-term follow-up for lentiviral vector safety will be followed for up to 15 years after CT103A infusion.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
