Genetically Engineered Cells (MUC1-Activated T-Cells) for the Treatment of MUC1 Positive Recurrent or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Use of Natural Signals and Ambient Dendritic Cells to Culture-Expand Cancer Targeting T-Cells Directly From Unfractionated Peripheral Blood: A Phase 1 T-Cell Dose Escalation Trial Targeting Relapsed and Refractory MUC1-Expressing Multiple Myeloma

Brief Summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of MUC1-activated T cells in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is positive for expression of the MUC1 protein. T-cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill cancer cells. MUC1-activated T-cells are made from the body's own T cells. The manufactured T-cells are made to target the MUC1 genetic marker and may help the body's immune system identify and kill cancer cells.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age \>= 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1
- MUC1 expression in multiple myeloma tumor cells verified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or flow cytometry (FCM). Heterogeneous tumor expression of MUC1 is acceptable
- Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma previously treated with or intolerant to at least three prior lines of therapy and be relapsed or intolerant to a proteasome inhibitor, an immune modulatory drug (IMiD), and a CD38 antibody. Patients must be at least 90 days since an autologous stem cell transplant, if performed
- Patients must have measurable disease per IMWG criteria on study entry, which must include at least one of the following:
- Serum M-spike \>= 0.5 g/dL Patients with IgA, IgM or IgD myeloma in whom serum protein electrophoresis is deemed unreliable for routine M-protein quantitation may be considered eligible if total serum IgA, IgM or IgD level is elevated above normal range and parallels disease course
- hour urine M-spike \>= 200 mg
- Involved serum free light chain (FLC) \>= 10 mg/L with an abnormal free light chain ratio
- Bone marrow plasma cells \> 30%
- Patients with extramedullary disease:
- lesion that has a single diameter of \>= 2 cm measured by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or the CT portion of the positron emission tomography (PET)/CT
- Skin lesions can be used if the area is \>= 2cm in at least one diameter and measured with a ruler
- Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent
- Willing to return to Mayo Clinic Hospital in Arizona (MCA) for follow-up during the active monitoring phase of the study
- Willingness to provide mandatory blood, bone marrow biopsy, and aspirate specimens for correlative research
- +10 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Clinically unresolved central nervous system (CNS) metastases
- Prior treatment targeting MUC1
- Subjects with known plasma cell leukemia (PCL)
- Any of the following are excluded because this study involves an agent (CTX) that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and/or teratogenic effects:
- Pregnant persons
- Nursing persons
- Persons of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate birth control measures
- History of myocardial infarction \>= 6 months prior to registration, and/or congestive heart failure requiring ongoing treatment such as medications and/or an implanted defibrillator to control life-threatening arrhythmias.
- Failure to recover to grade 1 or baseline from acute, reversible effects of prior therapy regardless of interval since last treatment.
- EXCEPTION: Grade 1 peripheral (sensory) neuropathy that has been stable for at least 3 months since completion of prior treatment.
- Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to:
- Inability to clear an ongoing or active infection
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina pectoris
- Uncontrolled psychiatric problems and/or difficult social situation
- +6 more criteria
