This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/expansion phase 1/2a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and determine the recommended dose of KQ-2003 CAR T-cells for patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

KQ-2003 CAR T-cell therapy involves autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, capable of targeting both human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR) and CD19 antigen molecules (anti-CD19 CAR) simultaneously as a cellular therapy.

RECRUITINGNumber of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)
For DLT evaluation, severity (grade) is classified according to common terminology criteria for adverse events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).
Time frame: Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
At least 6 subjects in the MTD dose group must complete the DLT assessment.
Time frame: Within 28 days of receiving KQ-2003 CAR T-cells transfusion therapy
Adverse Event
Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), which include clinically significant abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, physical examinations). AEs will be coded by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and their severity will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0).
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)
To determine after all subjects in the Phase 1 dose-escalation study completed DLT observation
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Objective response rate (ORR)
The definition of ORR is the proportion of subjects achieving sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR confirmed by efficacy reassessment after a minimum interval of three months. ORR is calculated as (sCR+CR+VGPR+PR) divided by the total number of cases, multiplied by 100%.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Stringent complete response rate (sCRR)
The definition of sCRR is the proportion of subjects achieving sCR confirmed by efficacy re-assessment after a minimum interval of three months.
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Duration of Response (DOR)
DOR will be calculated among responders from the date of initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
The proportion of subjects achieving sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR, or disease stability (SD) confirmed by efficacy reassessment after a minimum interval of three months is defined as the DCR.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
The time interval from the first administration of the investigational drug to the first observation of disease progression is calculated, considering the date of entry for patients who died for reasons other than disease progression before progression occurred.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is the time from the start of cell infusion to the death of the subject.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Microscopic Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity Rate and Duration
The duration of MRD negativity is the period during which both bone marrow MRD and imaging remain negative.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Maximum concentration (Cmax)
Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected and used for pharmacokinetics assessments.
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)
Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected and used for pharmacokinetics
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
Levels of IL-6
Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about cytokine levels
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
Levels of IFN-γ
Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about cytokine levels
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
CD4+T lymphocyte count
Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
CD8+T lymphocyte count
Blood samples will be collected and used for pharmacodynamic to evaluate the levels about peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
ADA
The trial will evaluate the positive rate, titer and duration or persistence of ADA following the administration of CAR T-Cells.
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
Nab
The trial will evaluate the positive rate, titer and duration or persistence of Nab following the administration of CAR T-Cells.
Time frame: Minimum 2 years after KQ-2003 CAR T-cells infusion (Day 1)
