Summary
This trial is testing the safety of CT-011 and the combination of the Dendritic cell fusion vaccine and CT-011 after ASCT in patients with multiple myeloma. They are also testing to see if the combination is more successful in preventing or delaying the disease from coming back, compared to treatment with ASCT alone.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma who are candidates for high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell rescue. They must have a certain level of heart function, specific lab results, measurable disease, and no serious illnesses like significant heart disease or active infections. Pregnant women or those with autoimmune diseases (except stable hypothyroidism) can't join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effect of CT-011 alone and combined with a dendritic cell fusion vaccine after autologous stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma patients. It aims to see if this combination helps prevent or delay cancer recurrence better than standard therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system since CT-011 targets immune cells, which could lead to inflammation in various organs. As an investigational drug, there may be unknown risks as well.
