Brief summary

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1, single arm study intended to determine the optimal target dose and safety of bb2121 in subjects with HR (R-ISS Stage III per IMWG criteria) NDMM. Subjects should have received 3 Cycles of standard induction therapy prior to undergoing leukapheresis procedure to collect autologous mononuclear cells for manufacture of the drug product (bb2121). Following manufacture of the drug product, subjects will receive fourth cycle of induction therapy followed by lymphodepleting therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide prior to bb2121 infusion. Maintenance therapy is recommended for all subjects who have received bb2121 infusion and should be initiated upon adequate bone marrow recovery or from 90-day post-bb2121 infusion, whichever is later.

Subject is newly diagnosed and has symptomatic Multiple Myeloma (MM) prior to initiating induction anti-myeloma therapy 2. Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of initial diagnosis of MM 3. Subject has measurable disease at initial diagnosis by * M-protein and/or * Light chain MM without measurable disease in the serum or urine 4. Subject has high-risk MM at the time of initial diagnosis of MM per R-ISS Stage III as defined by IMWG: * ISS Stage III and cytogenetic abnormalities with t(4; 14) and/or del(17p); and/or t(14:16) by iFISH; or; * ISS Stage III and serum LDH \> ULN 5. Subject has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance ≤ 1 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) ratesUp to completion of DLT period after last subject bb2121 infusedDLTs will be assessed during the DLT interval (ie, within 21 days immediately after bb2121 infusion). DLTs are defined as any bb2121 related Grade 3 to 5 toxicity.
Adverse Events (AEs)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedAn AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) should be considered an AE.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DoR)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as time from first documentation of response (PR or better) to first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, for responders.
Time to Complete Response (TCR)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as time from bb2121 infusion date to first documentation of CR for responders (Complete Response (CR) or better).
Time to start maintenanceApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as time to start lenalidomide maintenance therapy post-bb2121 infusion
Feasibility of initiating maintenanceApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedNumber of subjects starting the maintenance or on maintenance between D90 and D110
Proportion of subjects who achieved Complete Response (CR) RateApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as proportion of subjects who achieved CR or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma for multiple myeloma will be determined by an Investigator assessment.
Overall Survival (OS)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as time from bb2121 infusion date to time of death due to any cause
Pharmacokinetics - CmaxApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedMaximum transgene level
Pharmacokinetics - TmaxApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedTime to peak transgene level
Pharmacokinetics - AUCApproximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedArea under the curve of the transgene level
Progression-free Survival (PFS)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as time from bb2121 infusion date to first documentation of PD, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infusedIs defined as proportion of subjects who achieved PR or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma as determined by an Investigator assessment
