CC-95266 for Multiple Myeloma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called CC-95266 for people with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, who have not responded to or have seen their disease return after previous treatments. The main goal is to determine if CC-95266 is safe and effective in controlling the disease. Participants will receive this treatment after specific chemotherapy. Suitable candidates have multiple myeloma that has returned or is unresponsive to treatment and have undergone at least three different treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CC-95266 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that CC-95266 generally has a manageable safety profile for people with multiple myeloma. In a previous study, participants experienced some side effects, but these were usually manageable. The treatment led to strong and lasting improvements, even at different dose levels, indicating that CC-95266 is fairly well-tolerated. However, as this is an early-phase trial, more information about its safety is needed. Participants should consider this when deciding whether to join the trial.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for multiple myeloma, which often include combinations of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted drugs, CC-95266 works differently by targeting a specific protein found on the surface of cancer cells. This protein, called BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen), is crucial for the survival and growth of multiple myeloma cells. Researchers are excited about CC-95266 because it employs a novel mechanism of action, potentially offering a more precise attack on the cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. This targeted approach could lead to fewer side effects and improved outcomes for patients.
What evidence suggests that CC-95266 might be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma?
Studies have shown that CC-95266, a specialized CAR T-cell therapy, holds promise for treating multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded to other treatments. Research indicates that this therapy can lead to strong and lasting improvements, even when other treatments have failed. Early results suggest that CC-95266 works effectively and has manageable side effects. This treatment targets a specific part of cancer cells, aiding the immune system in fighting the cancer. Overall, early evidence supports its potential as a new option for patients with challenging cases of multiple myeloma.12367

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma that has come back or hasn't responded to treatment. They must have had at least three prior treatments (or one to three for a specific group) and show signs of disease progression. Good physical health and organ function are required, but those with central nervous system involvement, certain medical histories, or active autoimmune diseases can't join.Inclusion Criteria
