Lymphodepleting Total Body Irradiation (TBI) Plus Cyclophosphamide Prior to Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel (Carvykti; Cilta-cel) for Multiple Myeloma (MM) Patients With Impaired Renal Function

What this study is about

Treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma continues to evolve with the approval of highly effective anti-BCMA CAR T therapies in recent years.

View original scientific description

Treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma continues to evolve with the approval of highly effective anti-BCMA CAR T therapies in recent years. However, despite the high prevalence of renal insufficiency in this population, pivotal clinical trials have excluded patients with impaired renal function, leading to an urgent, unmet clinical need to develop safe and effective lymphodepleting regimens prior to CAR T administration for this population. In addition, renal insufficiency is linked to poor disease-related outcomes and is highly associated with several underserved populations. This study is testing the hypotheses that: 1. low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) in combination with cyclophosphamide (Cy) as lymphodepletion prior to administration of cilta-cel will be safe and tolerable in patients with multiple myeloma who have impaired renal function 2. low-dose TBI-Cy as lymphodepletion prior to cilta-cel will result in comparable CAR T expansion/persistence and disease response rates as those seen with standard lymphodepleting chemotherapy (fludarabine / cyclophosphamide).

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
  • Renal insufficiency, defined as eGFR \< 45 by MDRD formula.
  • At least 18 years of age.
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 1.
  • Meets standard of care indication for cilta-cel (per FDA approval).
  • ANC ≥ 1.0 k/cumm. If neutropenia is present at initial screening but is judged to be attributable to bridging and/or leading therapies, patients can be re-tested within the screening period to confirm eligibility.
  • Patients with a history of prior autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) must have received a graft containing ≥2.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight.
  • Availability of adequate cryopreserved autologous stem cells (≥2.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight) to allow for an autologous stem cell boost in case of prolonged cytopenias.
  • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study or should a man suspect he has fathered a child, s/he must inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants.

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy that does NOT meet that definition are eligible for this trial.
  • Currently receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or unstable cardiac arrhythmia. Patients with a known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Function Classification; to be eligible for this trial, patients should be a class 2B or better.
  • Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of study entry.
  • HIV-infected if not on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load for 6 months. Patients with HIV who are receiving effective anti-retroviral therapy and have had an undetectable viral load for at least 6 months are eligible.
  • Evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) that is detectable on suppressive therapy. Patients with evidence of chronic HBV infection with undetectable HBV viral load on suppressive therapy are eligible.
  • History of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that has not been cured or that has a detectable viral load. Patients with a history of HCV that has been treated and cured are eligible. Patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment and have an undetectable HCV viral load are eligible.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
