What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study combines a stem cell transplant with a special immune cell therapy (C-CAR088) to treat people with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that is hard to treat. The 20 participants will receive their own stem cells after high-dose chemotherapy, followed by a single infusion of CAR-T cells that target the BCMA protein on myeloma cells. The goal is to see if this powerful combination is safe and can control the disease better than current treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
C-CAR088 (a CAR-T cell therapy targeting BCMA) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a more effective treatment option for patients with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma who have limited alternatives.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. There are risks of serious side effects from both the transplant and CAR-T therapy, and the treatment may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Transplantation eligible patients, male or female, aged 18 to 70 years * Ultra high risk multiple myeloma, defined as failed or unsatisfied responses to front line VRD-based treatment with or without the presence of multiple high-risk cytogenetic features * Adequate liver, renal, bone marrow, and heart function * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-1. * Male and female of reproductive potential must agree to use birth control during the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Known allergies to the components or excipients of the C-CAR088 cell product * Prior allogenic HSCT, or ASCT * CNS involvement * Stroke or convulsion history within 6 months prior to signing ICF * Autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency or disease requiring immunosuppressants treatment * Uncontrolled active infection; active HBV, HCV infection; HIV or syphilis Infection * Severe heart, liver, renal or metabolism disease * Inadequate wash-out time for previous anti-tumor treatments prior to apheresis * Previous CAR-T cell treatment, genetically modified T-cell therapies or BCMA-directed treatment history * History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's safe participation and compliance in the trial
