Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Determine the MTD
The MTD is assessed according to a 3+3 dose-escalation design by the occurrence of treatment-emergent dose-limiting toxicities during the 28-day Treatment Period in the dose-escalation phase of the study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Determine the CAR2 Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T cell blood concentrations (Pharmacokinetic [PK] Profile) to evaluate the Cmax
CAR2 Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T cell blood concentrations will be measured at different time points during the 28-day treatment period to evaluate the maximum concentration (Cmax).
Determine the CAR2 Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T cell blood concentrations (Pharmacokinetic [PK] Profile) to evaluate the AUC
CAR2 Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T cell blood concentrations will be measured at different time points during the 28-day treatment period to evaluate the area under the curve (AUC).
Evaluate the safety of Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T cells in Patients with RRMM by incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
The evaluation of safety will be measured by an assessment of the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events for each patient in the dose-escalation and expansion phases of the study.
Assess preliminary efficacy by response rate in accordance with the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria
As a measure of activity, overall response rate will be assessed according to the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Response will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during both the dose-escalation and expansion phases of the protocol.
Assess preliminary efficacy by depth of response in accordance with the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
As a measure of activity, depth of response (ie, category of response) will be assessed according to the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. This will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during both the dose-escalation and expansion phases of the protocol.
Assess preliminary efficacy by duration of response in accordance with the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
As a measure of activity, duration of response will be assessed according to the modified International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. This will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during both the dose-escalation and expansion phases of the protocol.
Assess preliminary efficacy by progression-free survival.
As a measure of activity, Progression-free survival (PFS) will be assessed. The events for the assessment of PFS are disease progression and death events. This time to event endpoint will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where appropriate.
Assess preliminary efficacy by overall survival.
As a measure of activity, Overall Survival (OS) will be assessed. The events for the assessment of OS are death events. Time to event endpoints will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where appropriate.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on an evaluation of treatment-emergent events.
The RP2D will be assessed by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events during the Treatment and Observation Periods.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose will be based on an evaluation of overall response rate.
The rate of response as a determination factor for the RP2D will be assessed by the incidence of responses of at least partial response according to the IMWG criteria during the Treatment and Observation Periods.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on an evaluation of depth of response.
The depth of response as a determination factor for the RP2D will be assessed by the IMWG categories for response according to changes from baseline in M-protein levels in serum and urine, per cent plasma cells in the bone marrow, and size (area) of soft tissue extramedullary plasmacytomas (if applicable). This will be assessed for each patient over a 6-month timeframe during both the dose-escalation and expansion phases of the protocol.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on an evaluation of duration of response.
The duration of response as a determination factor for the RP2D will be assessed by the IMWG criteria for disease progression following the achievement of a response of at least a partial response according to changes in M-protein levels in serum and urine, per cent plasma cells in the bone marrow, the appearance of new lytic bone lesions, and/or the development of new soft tissue extramedullary plasmacytomas during the Treatment and Observation periods.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on an evaluation of progression-free survival.
Progression-free survival as a determination factor for the RP2D will be assessed by the IMWG criteria for disease progression events and death events. This time to event endpoint will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where appropriate. Progression-free survival will be evaluated during the Treatment and Observation Periods of the study.
The determination of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be based on an evaluation of overall survival.
Overall survival as a determination factor for the RP2D will be assessed by death events that occur during the Treatment and Observation Periods. Time- to-event endpoints will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals will be provided where appropriate.
