Experimental: Phase 1: P-BCMA-101 CAR-T cells
Single ascending dose cohorts, given in a single intravenous infusion of CAR-T cells. Rimiducid may be administered as indicated.
|
Biological: P-BCMA-101 CAR-T cells
P-BCMA-101 is an autologous, principally Tscm, CAR-T cell product (also called called a CARTyrin T cell product) targeting the myeloma selective protein BCMA. P-BCMA-101 cells are produced using a non-viral vector carrying the gene for an anti-BCMA Centyrin-based (small, fully human binding domain, designed to increase T cell persistence and decrease exhaustion) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Secondary to the large carrying capacity of the non-viral vector, P-BCMA-101 cells carry two additional genes, a selection gene used to manufacture a purified product and a "safety switch" gene to allow the cells to be eliminated if desired. Rimiducid (safety switch activator) may be administered as indicated. Drug: Rimiducid Rimiducid (safety switch activator) may be administered as indicated. |
Experimental: Phase 1 P-BCMA-101 CAR-T cells (Cohort A)
Single dose given across two intravenous infusions of CAR-T cells. Rimiducid may be administered as indicated.
