What's the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and estimate the efficacy of combining anti-CD3 x anti-SLAMF7 bispecific antibody fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (SLAMF7 FPBMC/CS1 FPBMC) for patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.
This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
What will happen during the trial?
Once subjects are determined eligible, white blood cells (lymphocytes) are collected via leukapheresis procedure at approximately 3 to 4 weeks prior to the first SLAMF7 BATs infusion. The white blood cells, specifically T cells, are then mixed with two proteins, OKT3 and IL-2, which activate the cells to multiply.
After approximately 14 days in culture, the activated T cells are coated with the OKT3 and elotuzumab (an anti-SLAMF7 drug) to produce bispecific antibody armed T cells (BATs). Cells are then frozen and stored until scheduled to be infused.
About 4 weeks after the leukapheresis procedure, SLAMF7 BATs infusions will start. At week 10 of SLAMF7 BATs infusions, disease status will be checked and patients who have stable disease or better may be eligible for additional SLAMF7 BATs infusions about every 4 weeks. Before, throughout and following SLAMF7 BATs, research blood will be collected to better understand immune response. Disease status will be checked regularly during and after study treatment.
