About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Multiple Myeloma focused on measuring CT7, MAGE-A3, WT1 mRNA-electroporated Autologous Langerhans, vaccine, Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation, 13-009
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Symptomatic multiple myeloma, ISS stages I-III, within 12 months of starting therapy.
- Completion of induction therapy with Very Good Partial Response (VGPR), or better, by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
- Deemed eligible for ASCT by standard institutional criteria.
- Age ≥18 years.
- Documentation of CT7, MAGE-A3, or WT1 expression in the bone marrow and/or bone marrow aspirate.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior autologous or allogeneic SCT.
- Previous immunization against CT7, MAGE-A3, other cancer-testis antigens, or WT1.
- Known immunodeficiency, HIV positivity, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
- History of autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, SLE), other than vitiligo, diabetes, or treated thyroiditis, which are allowed.
- History of severe allergic reactions to vaccines or unknown allergens.
- Participation in any other clinical trial involving another investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to first immunization.
- Lenalidomide-related toxicities before ASCT necessitating its discontinuation as part of treatment.

This is a prospective, two-arm phase I randomized trial. Patients will be accrued only from and treated at MSKCCand The Rockefeller University/Center for Clinical & Translational Science . The study will assess autologous LCs presenting CT7, MAGE-A3, and WT1 after electroporation with CT7, MAGE-A3, and WT1 mRNA. Twenty patients will accrue to the study and ten will receive vaccines at 9x10^6 LCs per dose (i.e., combination of 3x10^6 CT7 mRNA-electroporated LCs + 3x10^6 MAGE-A3 mRNA-electroporated LCs + 3x10^6 WT1 mRNA-electroporated LCs) and another ten who will not receive any LC vaccines but will otherwise undergo identical cytoreduction, ASCT, and standard supportive care. At approximately 3 months after ASCT and as deemed clinically appropriate, patients will start lenalidomide maintenance therapy, which is now standard to delay disease progression.
Patients receive standard of care treatment after autologous stem cell transplant
