Conditions

Relapsed/Refractory Myeloma

Brief summary

To find the recommended dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory MM. To learn if the dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells found in Part A can help to control the disease.

Detailed description

Primary Objectives: * Part A: To assess dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and determine the safety and optimal cell dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. * Part B: To assess the day +90 overall response rate in patients treated at the optimal cell dose. Secondary Objectives: * Assess day +180 progression-free survival (PFS). * Quantify the persistence of infused allogeneic donor TCR-transduced CB-derived NK cells in the recipient. * To conduct comprehensive immune reconstitution studies. * To obtain preliminary data on quality of life and patient experience. * Assess duration of response (DOR) Secondary end points * Day +180 PFS rate; * NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cell numbers in peripheral blood vs time profile; * Characterization of lymphocyte populations at various time points; * PROMIS-29 quality of life questionnaire score. * Duration of response

Able to provide written informed consent 20. 18-80 years of age 21. Weight ≥ 40 kg 22. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 / * Note: Growth factor support is allowed prior to lymphodepletion chemotherapy (LD chemo). Transfusion support is allowed at any time. If cytopenias are related to multiple myeloma, the patient may proceed without meeting above hematologic parameters only if bone marrow plasma cells are \>= 50% 19. Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL * Note: Growth factor support is allowed prior to LD chemo. Transfusion support is allowed at any time. If cytopenias are related to multiple myeloma, the patient may proceed without meeting above hematologic parameters only if bone marrow plasma cells are \>= 50% 20. Platelet count \>= 25,000 /uL * Note: Growth factor support is allowed prior to LD chemo. Transfusion support is allowed at any time.

Acceptable forms of birth control for female patients include: hormonal birth control, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence, for the length of the study. If the participant is a female and becomes pregnant or suspects pregnancy, she must immediately notify her doctor.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall response rate (Part B)At day 30 following NK cell infusionCharacterized by stringent complete response + complete response + very good partial response + partial response. Will provide an estimate of the objective response rate along with a 95% exact confidence interval.
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (Part A)Within 28 days of the natural killer (NK) cell infusionCharacterized by stringent complete response + complete response + very good partial response + partial response. Will provide an estimate of the objective response rate along with a 95% exact confidence interval.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Lymphocyte populationsUp to 24 months following NK cell infusionThe characterization and trend of lymphocyte populations at various time points will be displayed using line charts.
Progression free survival (PFS) rateTime between cell infusion and disease progression or death, assessed at day 180 following NK cell infusionPFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test will be performed to test the difference in survival between groups, where appropriate.
Duration of responseTime between initial response and disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months following NK cell infusionThe time between initial response and disease progression or death. Patients who do not experience an initial response will not be included in this analysis. Patients who experience a response but not disease progression or death will be censored at the last contact date at which they were known to be alive and progression-free.
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 quality of life questionnaire scoreUp to 24 months following NK cell infusionScore will be summarized using frequencies and percentages.
NY-ESO-1 T-cell receptor (TCR)/IL-15 NK cell numberUp to 24 months following NK cell infusionWill be evaluated in peripheral blood versus time profile. Will show the distributions of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cell numbers in peripheral blood by utilizing box-plots at different assessment days.
