Study Summary

This trial studies a new type of cancer therapy to treat relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. It investigates the safety and effectiveness of the therapy.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with multiple myeloma that's come back or hasn't responded after at least three treatments, including specific drugs like IMiDs and proteasome inhibitors. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and have cells ready for making the CAR-T therapy. Not eligible if they've had certain other myeloma treatments, recent bone marrow transplants, plasma cell leukemia, CNS involvement by cancer, autoimmune neurological conditions, or poor organ function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PHE885 CAR-T therapy on adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. It's a Phase II study to see how well it works and its safety when made using a new process. Participants will receive this single-agent treatment to evaluate its effectiveness against their cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of PHE885 may include immune system reactions leading to symptoms in various organs (like fever or fatigue), infusion-related reactions where the therapy is given into the vein, blood count changes increasing infection risk; exact side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are participants being sought at this time for the clinical trial?

"The clinical trial is currently seeking volunteers, as indicated on the official website. The listing was originally posted in March of 2022 and updated last month (February 2023)."

Answered by AI

What have been the results of assessments on PHE885's safety to patients?

"In light of the fact this is still a Phase 2 trial with limited data, our team has assigned PHE885 an assessment score of two; indicating that safety is supported to some degree but efficacy remains unproven."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants in this experiment?

"Indeed, the clinical trial is indeed recruiting patients. According to its description on clinicaltrials.gov, which was originally published on March 7th 2022 and recently modified February 15th 2023, it aims to recruit 136 participants from two distinct health facilities."

Answered by AI

What is the purpose of this experimental process?

"The primary goal of the trial, which will span two years, is to gauge overall response rate (ORR) as determined by an Independent Review Committee. Secondary objectives include measuring durability of minimal residual disease negativity, transgene PHE885 concentrations in peripheral blood and bone marrow over time via quantitative polymerase chain reaction testing and complete response rate according to International Myeloma Working Group criteria."
