Can a supercharged immune cell keep myeloma away after transplant?

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

Patients who have been diagnosed with Gilbert's disease are permitted to exceed the defined bilirubin value of 2 x ULN * CrCl ≥ 45 mL/min, measured or estimated by Cockcroft-Gault equation * INR or PTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN * No history of ≥ Grade 2 hemorrhage within 30 days * No presence of active/uncontrolled infection requiring systemic therapy. Prophylactic antimicrobials are allowed. * No intercurrent illness or toxicity that would place the subject at undue risk of proceeding to LD chemotherapy * Must not be taking therapeutic doses of corticosteroids (defined as greater than 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 72 hours prior to LD chemotherapy. Physiologic replacement, topical, intranasal and inhaled steroids are permitted. Patients on calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine or tacrolimus) should have levels considered undetectable per institutional criteria * No active urinary outflow obstruction * Availability of manufactured cells * Patients not meeting these criteria may still be eligible to initiate LD chemotherapy with the approval of the Protocol PI (Principal Investigator). * Prior to Ide-Cel or Cilta-Cel infusion * Subjects who meet at least one of the following criteria on the day of scheduled CAR T cell infusion should have its administration delayed: * Suspected or active systemic infection * Onset of fever ≥ 38°C * Requirement for supplemental oxygen to keep saturation greater than 91% * Cardiac arrhythmia not controlled with medical management * Hypotension requiring vasopressor support * New onset or worsening of other non-hematologic organ dysfunction ≥ Grade 3 * Taking any of the prohibited medications as described in Section 15 * Significant worsening in clinical status compared to initial eligibility criteria that would, in the opinion of the treating physician, increase the risk of adverse events associated with Ide-Cel or Cilta-Cel infusion. Exclusion Criteria: * Receiving any of the following less than 14 days prior to enrollment: * Plasmapheresis * Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) * Radiation therapy other than local therapy for MM-associated bone lesions * Prior organ transplant requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy * History of ≥ Grade 2 hemorrhage within 30 days of enrollment * Patient requiring ongoing treatment with chronic, therapeutic dosing of anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin, low molecular weight heparin, Factor Xa inhibitors) can be enrolled with approval of the PI. * History or presence of clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, seizure, paresis, aphasia, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage or other CNS bleed, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis * Having concurrent Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes), or clinically significant amyloidosis * History of Class III or IV congestive heart failure (CHF) or severe nonischemic cardiomyopathy, unstable or poorly controlled angina, myocardial infarction, or hemodynamically significant ventricular arrhythmia within the previous 6 months prior to enrollment * Active clinically significant autoimmune disease, defined as a history of requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy and at ongoing risk for potential disease exacerbation. Patients with a history of autoimmune thyroid disease, asthma, or limited skin manifestations are potentially eligible. Patients with a history of acute or chronic GVHD are potentially eligible if on minimal immunosuppressants as defined previously. * Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), chronic or active hepatitis B or C, or acute hepatitis A. If any history of exposure to hepatitis B or C, then DNA PCR should be negative. If hepatitis B core Ab positive with negative DNA PCR, patients should be on prophylaxis while on study. * Prior malignancies except resected basal cell carcinoma or treated carcinoma in situ. Cancer treated with curative intent less than 5 years prior to enrollment will not be allowed unless approved by the PI.
