Anti-BCMA CAR-NK Therapy in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Sponsor: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
Summary
Immunotherapy has shown promise in the treatment of hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma. One approach is CAR-NK cell therapy, which involves genetically modifying natural killer (NK) cells to target specific cancer antigens. While CAR-NK therapy offers advantages over CAR-T therapy, such as reduced immune system reactions and lower production time and cost, challenges remain in terms of antitumor efficacy and the tumor microenvironment. Preclinical and early clinical studies have targeted various antigens, including BCMA, with CAR-NK cells in multiple myeloma. To further investigate the potential of BCMA-targeted CAR-NK cell therapy, this study aims to evaluate its safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in patients who have not responded to standard therapy.

Anti-BCMA CAR-NK
Ten eligible patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma will be enrolled based on inclusion criteria and informed consent. After conditioning with Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide, patients will receive a single infusion of BCMA CAR NK cells with close monitoring using one of the following dose levels: * Dose Level 1: 1×10\^7/Kg * Dose Level 2: 5×10\^7/Kg * Dose Level 3: 1×10\^8/Kg Safety Assessment: Adverse events will be recorded and graded. Laboratory parameters and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) markers will be closely monitored. Efficacy Evaluation: Response assessments will follow IMWG guidelines, including complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease.
