Brief Summary  

This is a Phase I / II, an Interventional clinical trial of DRL-1801 (Investigational Product) in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma. DRL-1801 is a Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy where T-cell are modified to express anti-BCMA antibodies.  The study will be conducted in many centres across India. This study is Single dose administration of DRL-1801. Patients will be followed in the study for a minimum of 24 months after DRL-1801 infusion and the study will consist of 3 periods i.e. pre-treatment period, treatment period and post-treatment period.

 

The pre-treatment period of the study will consist of screening for eligibility, leukapheresis and baseline evaluations (prior to lymphodepleting chemotherapy).

 

The treatment period will start with initiation and completion of three days of lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Day -5 though Day -3), followed by DRL-1801 infusion on Day 0. So, treatment period is of 6 days from Day (-5) to Day 0 till DRL-1801 infusion.

 

The post-treatment period will start from after the DRL-1801 administration and will consist of efficacy and safety follow-up visits. These will include monthly evaluations until month 24 post-DRL-1801 infusion or until disease progression, whichever is longer.

 

 

Upon discontinuation from this study, all patients who received DRL-1801 will participate in a long-term follow-up and will be monitored for delayed toxicities related to DRL-1801 and viral vector safety. Patients will be monitored for up to 5 years from the date of their last DRL-1801 infusion.
