Study Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Equecabtagene Autoleucel Injection versus standard therapy in subjects with lenalidomid-refractory RRMM who have received 1-2 lines of prior therapy.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who have used or required long-term immune-suppressive agents (e.g.,cyclosporine or systemic steroids) within 14 days prior to enrollment, but the useof physiological substitutes, intermittent, topical, and inhaled steroids isallowed.

  2. Subjects who have undergone autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) within 12 weeks prior to randomization, or who have previously undergoneallogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT).

  3. Subjects received the following anti-tumor treatments before enrollment: (1)Treatedwith an immunomodulator within 7 days, or; (2)Received plasma exchange, radiotherapy (except local radiotherapy for myeloma-related bone lesions), cytotoxicchemotherapy, treatment with proteasome inhibitors or other investigational drugwithin 14 days, or; (3) Treatment with monoclonal antibody for multiple myelomawithin 21 days, or; (4) Received other anti-cancer therapy within 14 days or atleast 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to enrollment.

  4. Significant cardiac disorder.

  6. The subject will not be able to participate in this study if the investigatordetermines that the subject meets any of the following conditions: (1) Subjects witha history of allergic reaction to the excipient components (DMSO and albumin) ofEque-cel, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, tocilizumab, or; (2) Subjects who areintolerant to dexamethasone, or; (3) Subjects who have a Life-threatening allergy,hypersensitivity reaction, or intolerance to pomalidomide and/or its excipients (intolerance is defined as discontinuation of prior treatment due to any AE relatedto pomalidomide) or;

  7.

Study Description

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cells that accounts for more than 10%-20% of hematologic malignancies worldwide, leading to marrow failure and bone destruction. Equecabtagene Autoleucel (eque-cel) is an autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy that targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), which expressed on both mature B lymphocytes and malignant plasma cells. The primary objective for this study is to compare the efficacy of eque-cel versus standard therapy in lenalidomid-refractory RRMM. Subjects will undergo screening with informed consent. After enrollment, randomization will be conducted followed by study treatment in experimental or control group. A follow-up phase will include assessments for safety, efficacy evaluation and pharmacokinetics monitoring (experimental arm) . The duration of this trial is about 6 years.
