Iberdomide to Improve T Cell Fitness for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Treatment for Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This early phase I trial tests the effect of iberdomide on T cell fitness before chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Iberdomide is a cereblon-modulating agent. It may help improve the health of the immune system, specifically T cells. CAR T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood (leukapheresis). Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving iberdomide prior to leukapheresis may help make a better CAR-T treatment in patient with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
