Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses the body's own infection-fighting cells to target and kill cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent or treatment-resistant multiple myeloma that expresses MUC1. Participants must have tried at least three prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor, an IMiD, and a CD38 antibody. They should be in good general health with stable vital signs and able to provide consent. Pregnant or nursing individuals and those unwilling to use birth control are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests genetically engineered T-cells designed to target the MUC1 marker on cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma. It aims to find the safest dose of these modified T-cells when combined with Cyclophosphamide, assessing how well they help the immune system fight cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune response such as fever, fatigue, chills; possible damage to non-target cells causing unintended organ inflammation; and typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea or hair loss from Cyclophosphamide.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the registration period for this experiment still available?

"According to the clinicaltrials.gov listing, this medical trial is actively recruiting participants as of June 23rd 2022; it was first announced on June 20th 2022."

Answered by AI

How many subjects are engaged in this experiment?

"Affirmative. Information available on clinicaltrials.gov attests to the active recruitment of 18 patients from 1 medical centre for this experiment, which was initially posted on June 20th 2022 and modified most recently on June 23rd 2022."

Answered by AI

To what extent could Autologous MUC1-activated T-cells be a potential hazard for individuals?

"As this is only a Phase 1 trial, there is limited evidence of autologous MUC1-activated T-cells safety and efficacy. Thus, our Power team has given it an overall rating of 1 on the risk scale."
