Full Title
Phase I Trial of Concurrent Administration of GPRC5D Targeted CAR T Cell MCARH109 and BCMA Targeted CAR T Cell MCARH125 in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple MyelomaPurpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of giving the investigational drug MCARH125 alone and with MCARH109 to people with multiple myeloma that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment. Giving these treatments in combination may be more effective than either therapy alone.
MCARH125 and MCARH109 are types of CAR T-cell therapy, a type of cellular immunotherapy. With CAR T-cell therapy, white blood cells called T cells are removed from the patient, altered in the laboratory to recognize a protein on the patient’s cancer cells, multiplied to larger numbers, and returned to the patient to find and destroy cancer cells.
MCARH125 targets a protein called BCMA on myeloma cells and MCARH109 targets the GPRC5D protein. The treatments in this study are given intravenously (by vein).
