This phase I trial tests the effect of allogeneic Orca-Q stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). An allogeneic (donor) transplant uses blood forming stem cells (graft) from a matched donor. When the healthy blood forming (stem) cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease \[GVHD\]). Orca-Q includes some T cells (a type a white blood cell) that are thought to help prevent some of the known complications as well as help attack the cancer cells. However, Orca-Q removes a specific type of T cell called naive T lymphocytes. Naive T cells may contribute to GVHD and are not thought to be required for the success of the treatment. Removing these cells may help reduce the frequency or severity of GVHD. Giving chemotherapy, such as thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine, before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and prepare the body to receive the transplant graft. Giving allogeneic Orca-Q may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) high-risk multiple myeloma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the safety of allogeneic ORCA-Q transplantation in subjects with R/R multiple myeloma with high-risk features. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic ORCA-Q transplantation in subjects with R/R multiple myeloma with high-risk features. II. To further evaluate the safety of allogeneic ORCA-Q transplantation in subjects with R/R multiple myeloma with high-risk features. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To further evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic ORCA-Q transplantation in subjects with R/R multiple myeloma with high-risk features. OUTLINE: DONORS: Donors receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) daily (QD) on days -6 to -3 and undergo apheresis on day -2 or -1. Donors may also undergo a second apheresis on day -1 or 0. Additionally, donors undergo blood sample collection at screening. PATIENTS: Patients receive thiotepa intravenously (IV) over 3 hours on days -7 and -6, busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -2, Orca-Q prime IV on day 0 followed by Orca-Q supplement IV on day 0 or 1 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo echocardiography or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) and optional positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or CT at screening and urine and blood sample collection, as well as bone marrow aspiration and biopsy throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on days 1-7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365.

Incidence of primary graft failure without grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
Frequency and proportions will be obtained.
Time frame: From date of transplant and up to 30 days post-transplant
Overall survival
The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method will be used to estimate the median and percentiles for time-to-event endpoints with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Time frame: From transplant to death from any cause, assessed up to day 365 post-transplant
Progression-free survival
The KM method will be used to estimate the median and percentiles for time-to-event endpoints with 95% CIs.
Time frame: From transplant to progressive disease or death, assessed up to 365 days post-transplant
Time to relapse
Time frame: From transplant to disease progression, initiation of new anti-multiple myeloma treatment, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 365 days post-transplant
Non-relapse mortality
Will be analyzed using the cumulative incidence function to account for the competing risk of disease relapse/progression.
Time frame: From transplant to death from any cause not including disease progression, assessed up to 365 days post-transplant
Number of treatment-related adverse events (AEs)
Will be classified by severity and graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 6.0. Frequency and proportions will be obtained.
Time frame: From date of enrollment up to 100 days post-transplant
Occurrence of grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent AEs
Will be classified by severity and graded according to the NCI CTCAE v 6.0. Frequency and proportions will be obtained.
Time frame: From date of transplant up to 100 days post-transplant
Incidence of acute GVHD
Time frame: From date of transplant up to 100 days post-transplant
Incidence of chronic GVHD
Time frame: From date of transplant up to 100 days post-transplant
Incidence of GVHD free, relapse free survival
The KM method will be used to estimate the median and percentiles for time-to-event endpoints with 95% CIs.
Time frame: From date of transplant up to 365 days post-transplant
Secondary graft failure rate
Time frame: Up to day 365 post-transplant
