Dasatinib and Quercetin With CAR-T Therapy for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Purpose
This phase II trial tests how well giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Quercetin is a compound found in plants that may prevent multiple myeloma from forming. Chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine are given to help kill any remaining cancer cells in the body and to prepare the bone marrow for CAR-T therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor 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. 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 chimeric antigen receptor. 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 dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and CAR-T cell therapy may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Experimental Treatment (Dasatinib, quercetin, chemotherapy, CAR-T) |
Patients receive dasatinib by mouth (PO) once a day (QD) and quercetin PO twice a day (BID) on days -7 and -6 and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -3 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive CAR-T IV on day 0. Patients receive dasatinib PO QD and quercetin PO BID on days 28, 29, 58, 59, 88 and 89 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan and/or PET, tumor biopsy, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the study. |
