BCMA Targeted CAR T Cells With or Without Lenalidomide for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma

March 2, 2026 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Phase I Trial of B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) Targeted EGFRt/BCMA-41BBz Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Modified T Cells With or Without Lenalidomide for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma (MM)

The purpose of this phase I clinical trial is to test the safety of these CAR T cells in patients with myeloma.

There are two parts of this study. Part 1 of the study consists of screening for BCMA, Lenalidomide assignment and cell collection. Part 2 of the study is treatment with modified CAR T cells.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed MM by MSKCC pathologist, with MM cells expressing BCMA, previously treated with 2+ prior lines of therapy including an IMiD and a PI, either with refractory, persistent, or progressive disease
  • Age ≥ 18 years of age
  • Creatinine ≤2.0 mg/dL, direct bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL, AST and ALT ≤3.0x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Adequate pulmonary function as assessed by ≥92% oxygen saturation on room air by pulse oximetry.
  • HGB≥7g/dl, ANC≥1,000/mm3, Platelet≥30,000/mm3 without transfusion or growth factor support for at least 1 week
  • M spike ≥0.5 g/dL or involved free light chain ≥10 mg/dL with an abnormal free light chain ratio

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Karnofsky performance status <70
  • Pregnant or lactating women. Women and men of childbearing age should use effective contraception while on this study and continue for 1 year after all treatment is finished
  • Impaired cardiac function (LVEF <40%) as assessed by ECHO or MUGA scan

    • New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure
    • Myocardial infarction ≤6 months prior to enrollment
    • History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplained syncope, not believed to be vasovagal in nature or due to dehydration
    • History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
  • Patients with HIV or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection are ineligible
  • Patients with any concurrent active malignancies as defined by malignancies requiring any therapy other than expectant observation or hormonal therapy, with the exception of squamous and basal cell carcinoma of skin
  • Patients with a prior allogeneic transplant ARE eligible UNLESS previously or currently experienced GvHD that required systemic steroids or other systemic lymphotoxic therapy
  • Patients on systemic steroids (except if solely for adrenal replacement) within two weeks of collection
  • Active auto-immune disease including connective tissue disease, uveitis, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, or multiple sclerosis, or have a history of severe (as judged by the principal investigator) autoimmune disease requiring prolonged immunosuppressive therapy
  • Prior treatment with gene modified T cells
  • Prior or active CNS involvement by myeloma (eg leptomeningial disease). Screening for this, for example, by lumbar puncture, is only required if suspicious symptoms or radiographic findings are present
  • Plasma cell leukemia
  • Pre-existing (active or severe) neurologic disorders (e.g. pre-existing seizure disorder)
  • Active uncontrolled acute infections
  • Any other issue which, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make the patient ineligible for the study
  • Patients who previously had any intolerance to Lenalidomide 10 mg or who have a contraindication to Lenalidomide will not be eligibile for concominant treatment with Lenalidomide but will remain eligible for CAR T cell therapy without Lenalidomide.

Experimental: BCMA Targeted CAR T Cells with or without Lenalidomide
Biological: EGFRt/BCMA-41BBz CAR T cell
Modified T cell infusions will be administered 2-7 days following the completion of conditioning chemotherapy.There are 3 planned dose levels for this study: 1x10^6, 3x10^6, and 1x10^7 EGFRt/BCMA-41BBz CAR T cells/kg, and a dose -1 level at 3x10^5 EGFRt/BCMA-41BBz CAR T cells/kg, if needed; each dose cohort will consist of 3-6 patients.
Drug: Cyclophosphamide
Cyclophosphamide 3000 mg/m2 IV once on day -7 to -2 or low intensity cy/flu (cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day x 3 + fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day x 3) with the last day occurring on day -7 to -2 are the default options for is the default conditioning chemotherapy.
Drug: Lenalidomide.
A cohort of patients will be treated with CAR T cell therapy and concomitant Lenalidomide. 10mg PO 21/28 days will be started no less then 1 week prior to clinical apheresis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
MTD of gene-modified T cells
Time Frame: 36 months
The MTD is defined as the highest dose with an observed incidence of DLT in no more than one out of six patients treated at a particular dose level. T cell dose may be divided in up to three infusions administered over up to 7 days.
