Study Summary

A sample of participants' T cells will be sent to a laboratory, where the cells will be made into the study therapy, MCARH109 and MCARH125. Participants will receive either MCARH125 alone or MCARH125 with MCARH109.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed multiple myeloma (MM) by MSKCCpathologist.

  • Age ≥ 18 years of age

  • Diagnosis of relapsed or refractory MM with at least 3 prior lines of therapy.

  • Refractory myeloma is defined as disease that progresses while on therapy or within 60 days after the last therapy. Relapsed myeloma is defined as previously treatedmyeloma with initial response and subsequent progression (per International MyelomaWorking Group i.e. IMWG criteria) not meeting criteria for refractory disease.

  • At least 3 prior lines of therapy; Prior therapy should include all of thefollowing:

  1. A proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib, carfilzomib, ixazomib)

  2. An immunomodulatory drug (e.g., thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide)

  3. A CD38 monoclonal antibody (e.g., daratumumab)

  4. High dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support (ASCT)

  • Subjects who are not candidates to receive one or more of the above treatments (5a-d) are eligible for the trial.

  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

  • HGB ≥ 8 g/dl, ANC≥ 1,000/mm3, Platelet≥ 50,000/mm3 without red cell transfusion for 21 days, platelet transfusion for 7 days and or growth factor support (Neupogen orNeulasta) for at least 14 days prior to initial screening (screening A). HGB ≥ 8g/dl, ANC ≥ 1,000/mm3, Platelet ≥ 20,000/mm3 prior to pre-treatment screening (screening B). Patients are allowed to receive transfusion support prior to thepre-treatment screening but no growth factor support (Neupogen or Neulasta) for 7days prior to pre-treatment screening.

  • Measurable disease defined as meeting at least one of the criteria below:

  1. Serum M protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL

  2. Involved serum free light chain ≥10 mg/dL with an abnormal free light chainratio

  3. Urine M-protein ≥ 200 mg/24 hours

  4. Measurable plasmacytomas seen on imaging (≥ 1 lesion that has a single diameter ≥ 2 cm). If this is the primary marker of measurable disease, patients willneed a biopsy at the pre-treatment screening (screening B).

  5. Bone marrow plasma cells ≥ 30% as determined by CD138 immunohistochemistrystaining

  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5mg/dL or a measured creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (using 24-hour urine collection)

  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 X ULN andtotal bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL (or < 3 mg/dL for individuals with Gilbert's syndrome)

  • PT and PTT ≤ 1.5 X ULN

  • Adequate pulmonary function as assessed by ≥92% oxygen saturation on room air bypulse oximetry

  • Adequate cardiac function, defined as LVEF ≥ 40% by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) performed within 4 weeks of initialscreening

  • For patients with prior ASCT, at least 100 days since ASCT at the time of initialscreening.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or lactating women. Women and men of childbearing age should use highlyeffective contraception while on this study and continue for 1 year after alltreatment is finished.

  • Patients with following cardiac conditions will be excluded:

  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure

  • Myocardial infarction ≤6 months prior to enrollment

  • History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia or unexplainedsyncope, not believed to be vasovagal in nature or due to dehydration

  • History of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

  • Patients with HIV or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection are ineligible.

  • Current diagnosis of primary and secondary plasma cell leukemia is excluded. Historyof plasma cell leukemia is not excluded.

  • Patients who have not received any myeloma therapy for the preceding 6 months exceptif the last myeloma therapy was a CAR T cell therapy.

  • At least 14 day washout from myeloma therapies prior to leukapheresis and prior tostarting lymphodepletion. The washout for experimental treatments would be 5half-lives or 14 days (whichever is shorter).

  • At least 14 day washout from radiation prior to leukapheresis and prior to startinglymphodepletion.

  • Patients treated with previous JCARH125, and/or MCARH109 (any other cellularproducts that have the same construct) will be excluded. Other CART therapies arenot excluded. Prior therapies with other BCMA or GPRC5D targeted therapies includingantibody drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies are not excluded.

  • Patients with any concurrent active malignancies (or another primary malignancy notin remission for at least 2 years) as defined by malignancies requiring any therapyother than expectant observation or hormonal therapy, with the exception of squamousand basal cell carcinoma of skin.

  • Patients with a prior allogeneic transplant at least 6 months prior to studyenrollment are eligible unless experienced GvHD that required systemic steroids orother systemic lymphotoxic therapy within 12 weeks of initial screening

  • Patients on systemic steroids (except if solely for adrenal replacement) within twoweeks of collection

  • Active auto-immune disease including connective tissue disease, uveitis,sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, or multiple sclerosis, or have a history ofsevere (as judged by the principal investigator) autoimmune disease requiringprolonged immunosuppressive therapy

  • Prior or active CNS involvement by myeloma (e.g., leptomeningeal disease). Screeningfor this, for example, by lumbar puncture, is only required if suspicious symptomsor radiographic findings are present.

  • Pre-existing (active or severe) neurologic disorders (e.g., pre-existing seizuredisorder)

  • Active uncontrolled acute infections

  • Any other issue which, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make thepatient ineligible for the study.
