KarMMa-7 Trial Summary

This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of a new drug, bb2121, in combination with other therapies, in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. There are three arms in the trial testing different combinations of drugs. The study will first determine the best dose of bb2121 (Phase 1), and then expand to testing the efficacy of the combinations in a larger group of patients (Phase 2).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/RMM) who've had at least one prior treatment. They should have shown some response to previous treatments and currently show disease progression. Good physical condition (ECOG 0-1) is required, but those with certain blood conditions, severe liver issues, recent bleeding events or specific past treatments like gene therapy are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests bb2121 combined with other drugs in two arms: Arm A pairs it with CC-220 (with/without dexamethasone), while Arm B uses BMS-986405. It's a phase 1/2 trial aiming to find the right doses and expand testing based on safety and effectiveness results from earlier phases.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified here, but generally for cancer trials like this they can include fatigue, nausea, immune system reactions, infusion-related reactions from the drug combinations being tested, as well as impacts on blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk.

KarMMa-7 Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B- bb2121 in combination with BMS-986405 (JSMD194)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
bb2121 will be administered at a target dose of 450 x 10^6 CAR+T cells. The combination agent will be administered during Month 1 starting from the day of bb2121 infusion Enrollment is closed for this Arm
Group II: Arm A- bb2121 in combination with CC-220 (± low-dose dexamethasone)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
bb2121 will be administered at a target dose of 450 x 10^6 CAR+T cells. The combination agent will be administered at different doses and/ or schedules, depending on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation.
