NCT ID NCT04855136

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a CAR T cell therapy called bb2121 (ide-cel) combined with other drugs in 21 adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combinations could shrink tumors. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but it provides initial safety and effectiveness data for these combination approaches.

Active substance

bb2121 (ide-cel) CAR T cell therapy combined with CC-220 or BMS-986405

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective treatment option for patients with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to other therapies.

This is an early, small trial (21 participants) that was terminated, so results are limited. CAR T therapy carries risks like severe immune reactions and may not work for everyone.
