Multiple Myeloma | Biological: PHE885 | Phase 2 |
This clinical trial employs an open label, single arm, multi-center design with primary analysis testing overall response rate ( ORR), including one interim analysis for futility and one interim analysis for efficacy.
The trial population includes adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma ( MM) who failed 3 or more different prior lines of therapy, including failing an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an anti-CD38 (cluster of differentiation 38) monoclonal antibody (mAb) and who have measurable disease at enrollment per IMWG criteria . In addition, patients must be refractory to the last line of therapy
The trial will enroll 100 efficacy evaluable adult patients with relapsed and refractory MM (efficacy evaluable means participants injected with a PHE885 product that met all release specifications).
Patients will be followed for acute and intermediate safety and efficacy within this trial for a minimum of 2 years before being transferred to the long-term follow-up trial. A long-term post-study follow-up for lentiviral vector safety will be offered under a separate destination protocol for 15 years post injection per health authority guidelines.
