Study Summary
This trial tests if cilta-cel, with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, can safely and effectively treat high-risk, smoldering myeloma.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with high-risk smoldering myeloma, which isn't yet causing symptoms. Participants should have certain blood and bone marrow conditions but no recent other cancers or major illnesses. They must be able to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG PS 0 or 1) and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of cilta-cel, a CAR T-cell therapy, along with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate chemotherapies in treating high-risk smoldering myeloma before it becomes symptomatic.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions due to cilta-cel, as well as typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, hair loss, fatigue, increased infection risk from cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Safety Run-InExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will be enrolled into each of the 2 safety run-in phases in a standard 3 + 3 design.
- Participants will undergo study procedures as outlined:
Apheresis for collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) will occur on-site
Stem cell collection on-site post-apheresis per standard care.
Administration of Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in pre-determined doses 1 x daily for 3 consecutive days.
Hospitalization to receive Cilta-cel in per-determined dose per protocol 1 x daily for 3 consecutive days and will remain in the hospital for 2 weeks post cilta-cell infusion.
Follow-up for 3 years post-treatment and up to 15 years.
Group II: Cilta-Cel Dose Expansion CohortExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Expansion cohort of 14 participants will be enrolled after safety run-in phases, and participants will undergo study procedures as outlined:
Apheresis for collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) will occur on-site
Stem cell collection on-site post-apheresis per standard care.
Administration of Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in pre-determined doses 1 x daily for 3 consecutive days.
Hospitalization to receive Cilta-cel in per-determined dose per protocol 1 x daily for 3 consecutive days and will remain in the hospital for 2 weeks post cilta-cell infusion.
Follow-up for 3 years post-treatment and up to 15 years.
