Dasatinib and Quercetin With CAR-T Therapy for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
What this study is about
This phase II trial tests how well giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
View original scientific description
This phase II trial tests how well giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Quercetin is a compound found in plants that may prevent multiple myeloma from forming. Chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine are given to help kill any remaining cancer cells in the body and to prepare the bone marrow for CAR-T therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell Therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and CAR-T cell therapy may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

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.
