Clinical Trial: Study of CD8+ anti-BCMA CAR T-cells in Patients with Multiple Myeloma

This is a Phase 1 ascending dose study evaluating a new CAR-T cell therapy called Descartes-08. This trial is sponsored by Cartesian Therapeutics.
In this trial, your own T-cells are removed from your body and modified by adding a Chimeric Antigen Receptor, making them CAR-T cells. These CAR-T cells are then designed to target the B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) which is expressed by some myeloma cells.
This trial is seeking 15 patients, and will give them increasing doses of the T-Cell therapy, and then monitor them for adverse side effects, followed by treatment response. Patients will be monitored for 12 months. Patients with prior CAR-T therapy and prior Anti-BCMA therapy are allowed in this trial.
In order to join, patients must have measurable myeloma that is double refractory to both a proteasome inhibitor (like Velcade) and an immunomodulatory drug (like Revlimid). Patients must have had at least 2 prior lines of therapy, and adequate vital organ function.
