Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) during the first 28 days after anti-BCMA CAR-T cell administration. Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) will be defined as follows: * Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity of any duration including Grade 4 CRS and ICANS * Grade 3 CRS that does not improve to a grade 2 or less in 72 hours following adequate therapy. * Grade 3 neurological toxicity of any duration * Grade 3 toxicity of any duration involving vital organs (cardiac, pulmonary). Exceptions can be made if associated with CRS. * Other Grade 3 toxicity lasting \> 72 hours. Exceptions may be made for Grade 3 abnormal hepatic or renal function tests that improve to grade 2 or less within 7 days. * Grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction that is not reversible to Grade 2 or less within 24 hours * Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting more than 28 days

    24 months

  • Nature of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Nature of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) during the first 28 days after anti-BCMA CAR-T cell administration. Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) will be defined as follows: * Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity of any duration including Grade 4 CRS and ICANS * Grade 3 CRS that does not improve to a grade 2 or less in 72 hours following adequate therapy. * Grade 3 neurological toxicity of any duration * Grade 3 toxicity of any duration involving vital organs (cardiac, pulmonary). Exceptions can be made if associated with CRS. * Other Grade 3 toxicity lasting \> 72 hours. Exceptions may be made for Grade 3 abnormal hepatic or renal function tests that improve to grade 2 or less within 7 days. * Grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction that is not reversible to Grade 2 or less within 24 hours * Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting more than 28 days

    24 months

  • Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Adverse events with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment. AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening, and Grade 5= Death related to AE. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in any of the following outcomes: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product or medically important.

Safety Run-In

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Cilta-Cel Dose Expansion Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

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.
